"Do the words 'Senator Sarah Palin' excite you?"
That's the opening line of a recent email by The Tea Party Leadership Fund, which is trying to draft the former Alaska governor and past Fox News commentator to run for the Senate in 2014. The fund argues Palin has a clear path to victory in part due to recent polling showing incumbent Sen. Mark Begich, a Democrat, with less than 50 percent of the vote.
But, it being a draft, the group hasn't talked with Palin about whether or not she's interested. And Palin – whose PAC didn't respond to request for comment from Whispers – is believed to be currently residing in Arizona, not Alaska. The fund's Niger Innis says the interest of Tea Party members in a Palin run, however, is clear.
"We didn't know that [the draft] was going to catch fire to the degree that it has. And what that tells us is that this is just the beginning," he says. "It's gone viral."
But not all Tea Party groups are enthused about drafting Palin without first gauging her interest....

Given the blizzard of frivilous and groundless ethics complaints being filed against her AND that she was having to pay out of her own pockets to fight said complaints that were driving her to bankruptcy, you know that was NOT an option.

I agree with you totally. I also think that she would NOT run for office again in AK because the same people that tried to ruin her with lawsuits and ethics compmlaints would do so again.
It’s not worth her time.
I would love to see her and Ted Cruz filibuster tag team all the bad horrible bills that get crammed through the senate
Go Sarah!
Draft Todd.....
He is the quiet strong thinking type, I think Alaska would vote for him to tell Washington in their own gentile and polite independent way...
Up Yours!
That thought has occurred to me too.
Doesn’t she live in AZ ?
I’d like to see her run in a primary against McCain.
“A Senate run at this point is beneath her.”
I’m not convinced.
How can you support a person with no principles?
Yes, go watch the video one more time
And for the rest of you, yes, I'm tweaking Norm, and not Palin.
Not interested. Tantrum not over I assume?
She will of course, Win Big, and then she can go to Washinton D.C. and start running for President six months after she arrives. We can play that game too.
The Obama Media Complex will continue to assail her to the point the whole nation will start saying, "Hey, wait a minute, back off, we like Sarah!"
A ground swell of support would tsunami across America and she will win by a landslide in November, 2016.
I do not see it that way. She can become a substantial voice for conservitism and can gain a national reputation beyond her current support.
I don't think the words 'Senator Sarah Palin' excite her. Non-starter and I have no doubt they know it. Just a fundraising gimmick.
She already has that. Going to the Senate would put her in a straitjacket at this point. Putting her in the Senate would make sense... AFTER she served as President (a la Andrew Johnson).
