I’m in Scottsdale and this makes a lot of sense. Alaska is as far from the East Coast as Europe. Arizona has cheap office space, good connections and cheap airfares to the rest of the country, good weather that helps avoid flight delays, and a very Palin-friendly political climate. Scottsdale and Paradise Valley are full of wealthy Republicans who would love to host fund-raisers for her. We’d love to have her.
And think of the boost to business in the overall Phoenix area!
