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.”

Yes, they did. Since she was no longer governor the ethic charges became moot thus they were all dropped.

Were those charges true or not? If not, couldn’t she have sued for libel?

I found Alaska to be beautiful but an unusual state in may ways. There are rugged individuals who pride themselves in their independence, but lots of pixies and moonbats as well.

Sarah was the one who knocked out Lisa Murkowski’s daddy.

I’ve read that too, quite a few times. She has national appeal, and lots of appeal here on FR. But the voters of AK are the ones to judge, and I think she’s yesterday’s news.

If she were all that great, she would have been picked by Team Trump for some spot in the fed gov, never happened.

“I can see a lot of things from my house. ... Lisa, I can see 2022 from my house.”

Not just a shot at Murkowski, but a nice dig at Tina Fey. Way to go, Sarah!

Or maybe she didn’t want, need or desire to be in the fed gov.

Maybe one of the Halfstrand boys (from the Deadliest Catch series) should run for Senate

[Murkowski lost her last primary, to a friend of Sarah Palin, then she ran as a write in candidate and won.]


I like the guy, but he ran on a Libertarian platform. Opposed unemployment bennies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Miller_(Alaska_politician)

Whatever benefits programs are in place are generally non-negotiable if you want to win elections. But he went there anyway. That’s why Miller lost. I don’t see Palin running on a Libertarian platform.
