Sarah Palin has deliberately left the question as to whether or not she will run in 2012 open. For those who believe a bid for the GOP nomination is still a possibility for her, The Arizona Republic provides some further evidence: after months of rumors, Palin may have purchased a house in Scotsdale, Arizona.
A deal on a secluded, 8,000-square-foot home in far north Scottsdale was recently closed by Safari Investments LLC for $1.695 million cash. The terms of the deal hide the identity of the owner, and when the attorney listed on the property records, Alan Kierman, was asked if Palin was the buyer, his response was an intriguing "no comment."
According to the Republic, Palin has been rumored to be considering headquartering her 2012 White House campaign in Scottsdale, if there is a campaign. A anonymous source from her camp also told Ben Smith at Politico that she would base a potential presidential campaign in Scottsdale, near where Bristol Palin recently bought a house in Maricopa. Palin has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Jon Kyl.
But there are many reasons why Palin might leave Alaska that have nothing to do with a bid for 2012 or a run for a seat in the Senate. Joshua Green described in The Atlantic that Palin's popularity in her home state is rapidly dwindling. A rumored Democratic poll showed her to be less popular in Alaska right now than Barack Obama. Green writes that though Palin, "still lives in Alaska, she has all but withdrawn from its public life, appearing only seldom and then usually to film her reality-television show, Sarah Palins Alaska."
If Alaska "has moved on" from Palin, as Green suggests, she may very well be ready to move on from Alaska. As a public figure, no doubt it is difficult for her to fly back and forth from Alaska to appearances around the country, and Arizona would be a more convenient location. There seems to be little keeping here in state. Her son Track is still in Alaska, but he recently married his high school sweetheart, People reports. Palin may also want to keep an eye on Bristol in Maricopa. Or maybe she's just sick of the cold weather.
In any event, buzz surrounding Palin's supposed purchase were enough to prompt Public Policy Polling, a Democratic company based in North Carolina, to ask Arizona voters in an automated survey whether they would like Palin to move to their state. Fifty-seven percent said no, 27 percent said yes, and 16 percent were not sure. Just like in the political polls, Palin has her work cut out for her.
Flagstaff is North....and gets a little snow in winter....and does stay a little cooler in summer...Scottsdale....is near Phoenix....very hot in summer. Also closer to services, ie air travel.
“So she buys a house in Arizona. So what. These leftwingers are getting really creepy.”
Creepy does not even come close, least if she runs, she and her family will get SS protection.
I went to the AZ Republic’s story, some of the gentle, tolerant and peaceful liberals in the comments section are wishing and hoping she gets shot dead.

We live on the Colorado River and love it. Water toys are nice, but think dirt machines, miles and miles of off-road trails, and washes which are like a dirt lover’s super highway.

Cool. I have a vacation pad just northwest of there, at the north end of BHC. You ever try your hand at prospecting out near Oatman?
Used to take the metal detector out, never found anything but empty .22 shells and rusty nails.
But never around Oatman, too many jackasses there. (;>)

47-State Landslide. She'd lose Massachusetts, Hawaii, and Maryland.
Cheers!
You forgot Vermont. :-)
Nice dream, but there is a slight problem. It’s called the Constitution.
Cheers!

another possibility is that McCain is going to retire and she is configuring to take his senate seat.
LOL! Anything’s possible...
And this paragraph;

Speculation is all anybody can muster at the moment. Time will tell and the jury is still out. We can second guess this till we turn Baptist, but until the real outcome becomes a reality, it is a waste of time to argue about it.
