Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska has announced that on July 26th, she will resign as Governor of Alaska, and hand over the state to the Lt. Governor Sean Parnell.
At this point, speculation abounds, but it seems she has three choices: Work to get other conservative republicans elected, prepare for a run for the Presidency in 2012, or run for a U.S. Senate seat as one of the two senators from Alaska.
It's interesting that the Governor made a couple of comments in her announcement today that her heart belongs to Alaska, and that she will continue to work for Alaska. To me, that sounds like she will run for a Senate seat, but to do that she must defeat the republican incumbent senator, Lisa Murkowski, who was appointed to that position by her father, Gov. Murkowski, the previous governor of Alaska.
My money is on a senate run. And we certainly could all benefit from that. Having Palin as a conservative, pro-gun senator from Alaska might help to offset the socialist bias that the senate now has, and the 60-vote Democrat super majority that the appointment of television clown and humorist Al Franken (Minnesota) delivered last Thursday with his win over the republican incumbent.
We'll see if I'm right, but my money is on the senate run. The Senate would certainly benefit from a female senator who has run a state, believes in the right to keep and bear arms, and is a conservative with a backbone. When was the last time we had one of those?
