I can imagine that it would be a tough decision for Sarah to transport her family to D.C. for four years. They really, really love Alaska. And Todd...well what would Todd do there? They’d have to create a sort of Camp David north in Wasilla to keep sane.
I think Sarah’s getting across what a sacrifice it would be for them to do it. I’d like for her to be more enthusiastic about the possibility. But I can see her point. And I really want her to run. But this ‘if there’s no one else to do it’ kind of bothers me. I think she’s the only one who will do the really tough stuff to get things done. But what if she thinks someone else can? Argh.
But can’t you see it? Todd could be promoting snow machine racing in Southeast DC. He could lead moose hunts in Rock Creek Park. There are so many possibilities.
Have you ever considered the possibility of opening a “Snowy White House North” in Alaska? After all, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt transformed the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu into a “Western White House” to manage better the war against the enemy Japan. Surely some remote fishing camp on the frozen Bering Sea might provide the perfect venue for an encounter with Democrats.
