You are correct that she cannot and is not currently running, but she has contested that restriction and says she has lawyers who says she could run again.
So far we have 7 or more running for Gov.
I don't know her personally but I know several people who have known her since she was a PC. Apparently she was very conservative back then, but has changed a lot since then. She is currently very susceptible to input from lobbyists who have money. I am told by those who know that she's not real bright and she has reportedly had a small stroke some time ago during her time as Gov and I know that that can change a personality.
Sadly a ton of AZ women think she's wonderful and I'm pretty sure she once was.
Sadly, this is why Hillary still has a chance. She’s due, or it’s her turn, or she’s a woman so it’s okay. None of these work for me.
Now, Sarah Palin is another thing all together. Palin has a record that she can run on and experience in governing that most women don’t have. I would support Palin any day of the week.
