There was a time, not long ago, when former semi-Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK) could cause a stir just by Facebooking her own bad dystopian Obamacare fanfic, but hard times have fallen on the giving a rat’s winking ass about Sarah Palin industry. How bad has it gotten? Barely a month into her serious consideration of a bid to replace Senator Mark Begich (D-AK), Palin announced that she is “not planning to run for the U.S. Senate,” and not only did nobody care, they actually cared more about Palin’s thoughts on Ashton Kutcher than her senatorial ambitions, or lack thereof.
In fact, if I were not a regular reader of Wonkette, which still cares enough to cover Sarah Palin as a politician, I never would have known about Palin’s announcement, which came during a Friday appearance on Fox News’ On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, an appearance that was actually covered on this here Mediaite website right here. The headline from that appearance, though, was about Palin’s high opinion of Ashton Kutcher, who has somehow made work “cool again,” because the millions of unemployed are obviously just hipsters who don’t want to do something as played out as feeding their kids.
Right after that bit of incisive social commentary, though, Greta asked Palin about all the “chatter” she’s heard from Sarah Palin about a Sarah Palin senate bid, and the former Governor Resignate said something about how Mark Begich is referred to as “Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch” in Sarah Palin’s head...

I’d love to see Sarah run for Senate, but Joe Miller is running again. He should have been elected four years ago.
If Begich keeps the seat she’s done in my book. It’s winnable and we really need it.
He sure looks weird.
second thought: she runs for the house seat knocking off not-so-Young. Demands to become Speaker. Then takes on Murkowski after 2 terms. She will have then turned the establishment around big time. Write her own ticket.
From the looks of your post, you will always find an excuse to hate her.
Palin’s executive material all the way. She’s a thinker and a leader. Why on earth would she, I, or for that matter you want her in the Senate to be swallowed up in seniority rules being a junior 1 of 100?
There is no mystery as to why Palin is not running for any legislative position either in the past, the present, or in the future.
The only mystery is the people who think she should. I’m still scratching my head over that one.
People either want her trapped in the Senate past 2020 (She would NEVER be allowed to run for President before her term officially ended, even though it’s common for others to do so) or even better, they could “rig the game” as they did against Joe Miller, throw who knows how much funny money into the notoriously corrupt Alaska, and hang a career-ending loss on her.
It’s easy for me to see why they would hope to goad her or shame her into this trap.
Stu L. Pusher ?
I m a 49er season ticket holder. Please justify a Begich reelection. I love that woman. U 2 r the same person.
I’m the same person ? What ?

Notice the cigarette, angry drunkard homo.
the way he is sucking on that fag it didn’t take you much.
Great to see him running again. I thought Miller was a fantastic candidate. I am still bitter with the RINO party that let Murkowski run and backstabbed Miller.
That’s exactly their game plan....either goad her into a legislative campaign and subsequent loss or trap her into a Senate position where they can hang another “quitter” charge against her should she seek higher office.
People that seem to urge that path for Palin are not her fans and usually fear her political skills in favor of their favorite horse of whatever stripe. They never stop to think that the very things they fear in Palin will prevent her from falling into their Machiavellian / childish traps.
