Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on Tuesday said that she is considering running for Senate in 2014.
Appearing on Sean Hannity’s radio program, Palin also reiterated that she would consider supporting a third party if Republicans don’t return to their conservative roots (video courtesy MoFoPolitics)

“I’m glad you brought that up,” she continued, “because Senator Mark Begich (D-Ak.) has got to be replaced. He has not done what he has promised to do for the people of Alaska.”
For those wondering, Begich is up for re-election in 2014.
“If you think that whoever is running doesn’t have the ability to win, and you think you could, would that propel you into the race you think?” asked Hannity.
“Well, I think any American with a heart for service has to always have in the back of their mind that they would do anything, everything that they could to help the cause even if purpose if it’s something that doesn’t look necessarily appealing or necessarily fitting in with a conventional plan that they would try to orchestrate for themselves and their family,” Palin answered. “I along with anybody would have to say that I would do whatever I could to help. And if that was part of that help, then it would have to be considered.”
A poll conducted by Harper Polling in May found Palin leading other Republican primary contenders to face Begich in 2014.
I thought she and her family moved to AZ and established residency there after the 2008 election cycle.
I think she would be great and I would contribute to her campaign.
“I thought she and her family moved to AZ and established residency there after the 2008 election cycle.”
She could replace McStain!
She should do it. It shouldn’t be too hard to beat a liberal in AK, it would be nice to have another “wacko bird” in the senate, and her credibility would be helped by her actually doing something instead of just talking.
I don’t like AK having her all to themselves. She’s too powerful for just one state.
We are asking Sarah to make targets of her whole family. I want her to run but . . . It’s her call. Respect it.
Sarah!!!!
Her credibility, newbie?
Makes my day!
“wacko-bird”? You mean to say that Boxer, Feinstein, and Pelosi are normal?
Sarah Palin , would you consider running for president of the U.S.?
Yes, she is the wrong Palin to run for that Senate Seat...
Todd Palin should run, think about it, it is deviously brilliant and out of the box..
While I would love to see her in the Senate, they will nail her on leaving Governorship before term was up.
If people can get elected to Congress for the sole reason that their deceased spouse was in Congress, i.e. Jean Carnahan, Lois Capps, Mary Bono Mack, Doris Matsui, then a former governor, assuming they are competent, should have no legitimate opposition.
Ping.
I like This Idea.
I’ll support her, she’ll make a better US Senator than the vast majority already there even as a Freshman.
Where do I send the check?
Brilliant! I agree!
