Sarah Palin could rehabilitate her political career with a 2014 Senate run, Bill Kristol said Sunday.
I think the way Palin would possibly resurrect herself, if thats the right word, or rehabilitate herself I guess a better way of putting it, [is] run for Senate in Alaska in 2014, The Weekly Standard editor said during a Web interview with ABC.
Kristol said the former Alaska governor and vice presidential nominee would be pretty interesting as a freshman senator after beating an incumbent in an election.
Im not urging that, Im just saying if I were her adviser I would say, Take on the incumbent, you have to win a primary, then you have to beat an incumbent Democrat. Its not easy. But if she did that, suddenly if she can imagine that, you know, Sarah Palin, freshman senator, Jan. 15, in Washington having beaten an incumbent, that would be pretty interesting, he said.
Kristol added that Palins departure before the end of her term as governor hurt her leadership image....

What movie are you watching?
The Dems demographic looks way more promising than ours.
Hell, no wonder we keep getting our asses kicked.
Optimism is good, blind delusions backed by emotional wishful thinking....not as much.
Not happening. If she didn’t want the Presidency in 2012, I doubt she wants the Senate in 2014. What does it get her if she wins? So she gets to be one of 100 senators, at least 85 of which are firmly opposed to conservatism. Welcome to obscurity.
Of course the gop faction of the uniparty wants her to run for senate....so they can do everything they can to defeat her.
The problem is the judgement that you make on a venerable FReeper (bert) and also, by innuendo) now on me; to wit, that offering realistic and fact based observations on the political viability of Sarah Palin reveals us as suspect regarding our conservative bona fides
I understand passionate devotion and I understand loyal support of both principles and personalities. I admire skillful argument in support and defense of all that.
I do not appreciate your assumption that any questioning of your positions automatically puts me outside the conservative camp.
Read my tag line!!
“Read my tag line!!”
That’s great. I’d never try to get someone to vote for a candidate they didn’t really support.
However that doesn’t change the fact that she doesn’t have much of a chance.
I’m not really a lesser of two evils guy. I’m also not letting emotions cloud reality.
