You didn't read my post... but yet you quote it? I just read your post and like always you're full of yourself! And no I did not quote you! You certainly referenced it, thereby proving Jo's point. I personally HOPE she runs. It should guarantee a win for Democrats. Well, it's not our election. If Alaskans want to elect a quitter, they're more than welcome to it. How does that phrase go? "People get the government they deserve"... or something like that. I knew you'd be the first to respond. I didn't read what you posted. All it is more of the same garbage!~ Ahahahahahahahahah...run along Stumpy, grown-ups are talking. You run along, Baby Blue. Honorably discharged vets are talking. Speaking of honorable discharges, I have mine, anybody else? I have mine.

The idea of Sarah Palin & Joe Miller trying to out-Teatard one another in a primary--to say nothing of Lt. Gov. Treadwell--makes me SO HAPPY. I'm talking days on end of entertainment. Polls show Palin with a lead over Miller & Treadwell in a primary situation.
I'm not sure how the general would turn out. Begich benefited greatly from the Ted Stevens scandal--Stevens would have held that seat forever, were it not for his conviction (ultimately set aside, but he died shortly after in a plane crash). He's not hugely popular, but if he has a good enough turnout in "urban" areas like Anchorage and ... well, Anchorage ... and can get enough Native support, he could retain the seat. Tough to say, though, because Alaska signed on to the VRA challenge that resulted in the recent Supreme Court decision, and it's looking like Alaska is trying to further disenfranchise Native populations. This could hurt voting overall, and particularly moderate/liberal candidates. Ted Stevens was relatively moderate by today's standards.
All I know is, no crying from this lib. Bring it on--I'm going to have a lot of fun if it happens!
I don't think it will, suspecting it's just another Sarah "look at me!" moment. It will also invite a closer look at her residency which most Alaskans know is sporadic these days, the Palins preferring Arizona to Wasilla. Seriously. Thoughts? Ideas? Insights? On the actual topic, not just stupid insults? Above you will see some perspectives of a former resident of the state of Alaska. (Hint: Me.) The above post offers no personal insults toward any posters here, so I know it might be confusing to some, in terms of how to respond. But does anyone have any actual thoughts on this story? Is it simply a headline grab? Does Sarah have actual intentions to run? Questions about her residency have been swirling since her failed VP bid, and only increased since then--this will be a major issues for Alaskans, particularly if she's collecting a PFD. How will she and Miller square off, particularly since she threw her weight behind him in his bid to unseat Murkowski? I mean, we could actually discuss this topic guys. For serious.

SO, topic discussion. Let's try to reset this.
Not that I think it will work.
Contrary to Timbo's belief, Palin winning the R nomination for Begich's seat does not guarantee Begich (or another Dem) a win. Alaska is conservative/libertarian and they don't really love Begich. His voting record is uneven--in favor of drilling ANWR (as are most Alaskans), against gun control, in favor of immigration bill, against UN arms treaty, for VAW reauthorization (complicated in Alaska b/c of Native issues vis-a-vis sovereignty), moderate on pro-choice issues, pro-health care, voted to repeal DADT--so it's a mixed bag for voters who are disinclined to vote for a name with a "D" after it.
I'm very curious as to how Palin would do, particularly in the primary phase. I would like to see how she would differentiate herself from Joe Miller, specifically, since she supported him the first time around and versus the current Lt. Gov. who is far more mainstream than Miller. It would be a hell of a primary, but I think Treadwell would do best against Begich. No baggage of being a quitter/grifter (Palin) or a thief (Miller), and both Palin and Miller have had residency questions put Alaskans on their guard. It's especially dicey--residency--because if you collect a PFD you have to sign legal forms declaring you have lived in the state for an entire calendar year, save specific allowable absences. People are convicted of PFD fraud if they are caught lying, living elsewhere.
