And so it begins: Sarah Palin suggested she would run for the U.S. Senate seat in Alaska, and 72 hours later has fired the first volley against her potential opponent, one Sen. Mark Begich — a Democrat, former Anchorage mayor and spirited Palin-basher. He’s already questioned whether the former governor was even a resident of Alaska, then dismissed her as a viable candidate. Naturally, Mrs. Palin was charmed by the challenge, immediately deeming Mr. Begich the “Alaska chameleon” for his political track record.
“You have voted for Obamacare, for massive tax increases, for carbon taxes which could cost Alaskans 21,000 jobs, against pro-life legislation, and there’s so much more. You even flip-flopped to oppose the nation’s balanced budget amendment. You agree with, and vote with, ultra-liberal Senators Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid approximately 90 percent of the time,” Mrs. Palin said in an open letter to Mr. Begich.
“In the meantime, we suppose we’ll see much more playing of the ol’ Washington political game using those inside D.C. reporters each time you have to distract from yet another bad vote for Alaska in the U.S. Senate. It cheers us up and gives us good opportunity to remind Alaskans just how loyal to the Obama agenda you have been,” she concluded....

But she did say she is thinking about it and may run if a better candidate doesn’t emerge.
Yeah, but there is no basis to his theorizing in it.
I can agree! lol, check profile
I think her having quit as guv makes it harder for her to get elected as Senator and then start a Presidential run two weeks later.
I hope so! For Prez, I’m holding out for Nugent/Paul 2016!
I sort of like this idea.
As long as she wins that is. That is what she should pay a significant amount of attention to.
Right now, she’s got enough credibility to launch a real live 2016 run for President.
If she runs for Senate and wins, that increases her base with the people who look for anything to doubt her.
However if she loses, I think that is a big loss. Lots of decisions approaching.
LOL! Paul trumps Palin for pres? I don’t think so.
Pure speculation on their part. Not unreasonable. But pure guesswork.
Joe Miller is running so she needs to either decide or back Joe now. It will be hard for him to run with her chanting that she MIGHT in the background.
People are putting words into Sarah's mouth. She did NOT suggest that she would run for the US Senate in that interview.
I wish I had the transcript to hand, but I've read it a couple of times, and nowhere did she even slightly hint that she was thinking of it.
I read here every day, and haven't seen that reported.
You can listen to the interview here:

I agree, though she’s just brought it up and started targeting Bedich this week.
She has said she’s considering it.
Dang! I wanted to say that!

bump
I pity the person who goes up against Sarah Palin.He will end up bruised, beaten and belittled! And that’s just what “she” will do to him! What we will do to him is unspeakable!
While that’s true we need more counters to the Rubio/McCain rinos in the Senate.Plus she could turn yet another seat from socialist to Republican.I think its a good move.
What a biased POS article. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to that pap.
