I know I am going to draw fire with this comment...but here goes. I really wish that Sarah had been saved for a later date. As good as she was, there was no way in heck that our side was going to win in the post “I hate W” years. Add to that the fact that Bristol was preggers and it was the perfect storm for the left to turn Sarah into a villain for all time.
Had she been allowed to finish two terms as Governor of AK which she surely would have done had it not been for mclame’s invite to the 2008 ticket, she may have been something way different this year or in 2016. But then again she might not have fame she has now nor would her daughters have their own influence that they now enjoy. All of it gives us plenty of fodder for the “what would you do if you could jump in your time machine and go back 4 years” game.
Can’t disagree on your points. She has an option to run for the Senate against the Dem incumbent. If she’s serious she can serve the 6 years and make up for the resignation. The Dem(Begich) might be so scared that he will run for Guv. Parnell can run for the House seat.
