LOL at your first sentence...
(She did show us when in office in Alaska that she is not partisan when evil needs to be rooted out. I think she is a conservative first, then a Republican/Politician)
The rest of what you said...you betcha!
I remember talking to Sarah Palin around Wasilla in 90’s, before she was even Mayor; we lived in Sutton back then. Her short reign as Governor was the most responsible government I ever have seen over my entire life. Granted, oil prices were high which enabled her to do good things that benefited all of Alaska; but her policies still rocked the Republican Party to it’s core up here, shame that it has all went back to normal since she has gone. I really believe she would beat Begich senseless. Could you all just imagine her shakin the Senate’s Tree in D.C.
