For those in favor of her running in 2012 a run for the Senate would be a waste of time. Presidential campaigns are now started 18, if not 24 months out. So, she would win the seat, and then immediately start campaigning for president. It doesn’t gain her anything. If she waits until 2016, which I consider more likely then she would gain a lot, i.e. dealing with her biggest perceived weakeness, a lack of understanding of national issues.

if Stevens had lost and she could appoint someone else

Always somebody didn't get the word. Special election to vacant Senate seat.

That was the first thing I noticed. First off, why trust anything from the KOmmunistS? It’s almost as if they want her to run for Senate... Be suspicious of anything they want.

“Always somebody didn’t get the word. Special election to vacant Senate seat.”

A lot of people confusing Alaska with Illinois.

Wouldn’t be much of a debate Caroline’s arguments would apparently all be written in.

She said in an interview that she does NOT plan for running for the Senate in 2010, she is happy being Governor, and I think that is a great decision on her part, the Senate is a HORRIBLE place to be, especially surrounded by a bunch of liberals, the senate is full of corruption and greed, just stay governor Sarah, you will be re-elected in 2010 and we will see what happens in 2012, just keep doing what your doing

I think she would be better off politically and personally remaining one of fifty state executives rather than becoming one of one hundred slime bag Senators.

NO! She is too good for them.

Not that she is running. This is just the libs trying to cause trouble again and get hits for their site.

Of course they do. What could be better than Republicans at each other’s throats over something as pointless as a senate seat, already held by a Republican? In this case, the status quo is the way to go.
