Palin hints at Senate run in Alaska if Lisa Murkowski opposes Trump's Supreme Court nominee
Washington Examiner ^ | | September 26, 2020 | Andrew Mark Miller

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hinted at a possible run for Lisa Murkowski's Senate seat if the senator doesn’t support President Trump’s replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.

"We sure hope that you have it within you to do the right thing this time,” Palin said to Murkowski in a series of Instagram videos posted this week. “So, you should walk back. We'll forgive you. If you can't do that, remember my house? I can see a lot of things from my house. ... Lisa, I can see 2022 from my house."

"Lisa Murkowski, this is my house," Palin said, pointing to her Alaska residence in the background. "I'm willing to give it up for the greater good of this country ... if you can't find it within yourself to do the right thing this time and at least give a fair shake to the Supreme Court nominee that your president will be bringing before you.”

I would welcome her to the fight, and be glad she joined.

FWIW

Maybe that had something to do with the $ they were offering to people to move there.

I’ve always admired her and would love to see her in the Senate. And, I’d love to see Murkowski leave.

I doubt they’d want to take the pay cut.

I wish she would run for Senate! That would be quite a coup.

She was forced out of office by ethics complaints and legal bills after only 2-1/2 years. I don’t think that equals success. When she defeated Lisa Murkowski’s dad for the Governorship, she upset the good ole boys club, and they got their pound of flesh in return. Coming back and beating the daughter would be sweet revenge, no doubt. But with the scandals and the collapse of her family, I’m not sure she can pull it off at this point.

Not a lot of people I know watch cable TV shows like that.

That;s the problem I have actually living in AK.

trying to convince folks that have **never been here** that politics in AK are ....different.

Sometimes that can be pretty hard.

Think about it. Jim Acosta in the frozen North, trying to pester Sarah Palin as she goes door-to-door or does a rally. Then he broadcasts it all on CNN. Do Alaskans even get CNN? Do they bother to watch it? How would Don Lemon react to an Eskimo offering to let him laugh with his wife?

Her political capital may be somewhat dated, but Sarah Palin would rocket to the top of the political world should she decide to run for Senate in 2022. I would never count her out in a Senate match.

Palin has been out of the political game in Alaska for a decade, at least. Now she probably has been working in the background with some conservative Alaskans, but her resurgence would be opposed by the state GOP.

She would have to run a populist, door-to-door campaign like she did in 2005 and 2006 for Governor. If she intends to run for Senate, she needs to ramp up shortly after the election and not wait around for lightning to strike. She would also have to create her own insurgent organization that would be able to campaign and go to Washington if she won.

Nobody is going to draft her. She’s going to have to do this herself.

I think her brand is a bit dated by this point.

She’s had 10 years in the wilderness to reflect and hopefully get a handle on her family and personal issues. She’s older, wiser, maybe more fearless. I think she can come back at any time if that is so.
