While I would love to see her in the Senate, they will nail her on leaving Governorship before term was up.
Frankly, I’d like to see that lame theory tested. My anecdotal evidence here in deep blue Illinois (but red in Central IL) is that no one will care about it. Almost everybody I ask either A) doesn’t even know what happened, or B) knows and respects her choice, or C) knows and had no intention of voting for her anyway, based on pure ideology.
So if she ran, and her opponent brought it up, we’d get to see how people really thought about it. At bottom, the phony charge of “quitting” making one a “quitter” applies to everyone who ever quit a job, and that’s most people. Thus, I believe most people do not see it as a character issue at all. And once people I’ve talked to find out what was going on and why it happened, they actually respect her more, as one of those rare pols who takes her promises seriously.
So I say bring it. Let’s have it played out on the game board of real life and see what happens and settle this once and for all. Go for it Sarah.
Nevermind that Begich votes like an anti American communist.
like bozo left his seats early you mean.
the voters of Alaska understand and appreciate why she left the governorship early better than anyone.
It won't be an issue.
On the other hand, it would give her a chance to enlighten people on the true story behind why she left. I think that would GAIN her points with the public.
