PHOENIX Bristol Palin, the 20-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, has bought a five-bedroom house in Maricopa, a modest community south of Phoenix, setting off a flurry of speculation as to exactly what her plans and those of her famous mother are for the desert dwelling.

Dang! She beat me. I didn’t buy my first home until I was 23!
You all remember the Media Blitz THAT caused, right? LOL!
Go, Bristol! Go!
God Loves Conservative Women...because we put Him first! :)
Duh! I read the article too! Thanks for correcting my error. It is interesting that Maricopa, the city, isn’t in the county of Maricopa.
(btw,I have great memories of Tempe as a college student visiting. Those were the days!)
Pretty easy to figure this out. Bristol, not Sarah, buys the house but Mommy on the campaign trail can use it as a home base while traveling through the lower 48 instead of flying to and from Alaska all the time.
No doubt Juan McCain suggested it and probably has some security lined up for them if/when they need it. By putting it in Bristol’s name, the Palins can also deny for as long as necessary that Sarah is running for president or is using it for campaign purposes. And nobody will deny the right of a concerned mother/grandmother to drop in for frequent visits.
Maybe Meghan McCain is looking for a roomie.
On the basis of local Phoenix TV news coverage of her purchase of the home, I was concerned for her acceptance in the community as well. Sure, the STATE is conservative, but all three of the neighbors from her subdivision who were interviewed by the news hack were black democrats who had voted for O.
Turns out that the city of Maricopa’s residents are less than 3% AA. Media bias shows its hand in sometimes subtle ways, even on a local basis.
Bingo!!!!! I thought the same exact thing - that Bristol was “buying” a home base for SP to do preliminary pre-campaign campaigning. No other reason for Bristol - with her whole family in AK - to relocate to AZ. Insightful post of the year!!!
He'll keep the riff-raff away.
I hadn’t noticed too much buzz, but I would like to welcome Bristol to Pinal County. A welcome addition. The daughter of a political figure/celebrity buying her own home. Not in an exclusive gated community with guards. In a small town in the Sonoran desert. With money SHE earned. With no fanfare. What a concept.
So welcome Bristol and I hope we meet someday at the Fry’s.
You are mistaking the County of Maricopa with the City of Maricoppa. The city of Maricopa is located in Pinal County. And here we have Paul Babeu, whom I think is better than Sheriff Joe. Either way she is covered.
Must be the down market.
I hope the press have the decency to leave them in peace. Maybe that’s too much to ask?
Uhhh...maybe they just want to LIVE somewhere warmer than Alaska.
Actually, in Maricopa County it’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Most of the Sheriffs in AZ are terrific. Our Sheriff, Tom Sheehan,
Is a terrific man and I am honored to call him my friend.
Arizona’s Senators are slightly better now than the Alaskan drecks in DC.
First guy to win the prize.
Bristol buys a five-bedroom foreclosure in Pinal County. Mom can come down anytime without having to use a hotel room. It’s in Bristol’s name. Palin Campaign doesn’t have to account for it as an expense. Mom doesn’t have to spend money buying a house in the Lower 48. Arizona is reasonable longitude to Alaska and only three hours flight time from New York and DC.
McCain lined this up. Remember; Sarah Palin is his revenge against the Bush Familia. Anyone who doesn’t get this about McCain doesn’t get the fact that he has always held a grudge about the Bushies treatment of him in 2000.
He’s going to screw Jeb over if it’s the last thing he does. One of the reasons he picked Palin was because she was an anti-Establishment Republican. Now Palin is running through the Bush family’s planning for 2016 like a bull in a China closet and McCain can’t get enough of it.
And Palin stuck by McCain through thick and thin. Don’t think McCain doesn’t remember that.
Best,
Chris
And Jeb Bush can stick it too. I will NOT vote for another Bush.
Puhlease..... Jeb does it all by himself. Plus he let Terri Schiavo be dehydrated to death by the lil baldy swamp judge in Fl. Jeb is stale bread not worthy of burnt toast status.
She's enrolling at ASU.
