Sarah Palin’s Road Back to Washington
It seems to me that we haven’t heard the last of Sarah Palin. Since she was cleared of the ethics violation, she is in a position to further her political career.
It doesn’t seem like ethics matter much to the citizens of Alaska, considering how they voted for a Senator Stevens after he was convicted of 7 felonies. There has been talk that when he is expelled from the senate, that Palin might just run for his seat in the special election. That is certainly a possibility, and would get her back into the Washington scene a lot sooner than 2012.
If she were to win that seat, she would be in a much better position to run for the Presidential nomination in four years. She might want to cash in on the moment, to jump into the spotlight while it is still on her.
Certainly, we know more about Alaskan politics now than we ever wanted to. It always seemed almost as if Hawaii and Alaska were just two foreign countries that happened to be states. No doubt, with the attention these two states have gotten in this election, we will be hearing much more about them in the future.

Here’s one American hoping that her bridge to Washington ends up being a bridge to nowhere.
Oh you see how I did that? Turned that around and… nevermind.
I can’t see her making a serious run… the republican party is in shambles right now and I can’t see her being the shining light that will bring them out of the darkness. You never know though, they did elect Dubbya twice…
a) This woman is a mess. She doesn’t have a basic grasp of geography that a third grade teacher would expect of her students, she should not be president.
b) Maybe it’s time that Alaska and Hawaii got some respect from the rest of us. They pay federal taxes, just like the rest of us. They contribute to our GDP, just like the rest of us. People get all upset when a Republican politician or commentary refers to the “more American” parts of our country, or the “real Virginia.” How many people dismiss Alaska and Hawaii, however?
How many Democrats dismiss the South, and other rural areas, as “just a bunch of rednecks?”
