I live very close to Idaho and they would definitely elect her.

"she can run for governor of Arizona" ...and quit the job two months after the election.

Oh, Sarah, you dillusional little twit. Please do not waste the time, money, space, media attention and what few moments you have left in the spotlight. You will never be President of anything anything. Ever. ANYTHING...except maybe the PTA, and even that is doubtful.

The Failed State of Arizona isn't the core of the West; they're not the core of anything except the mortgage meltdown (and the savings-and-loan disaster of an earlier age, also brought to you by John McCain). Arizona is bankrupt, dependent on federal welfare, and falling apart at the seams as their built-to-last-five-years building stock and infrastructure continues to fall apart. Her victim ideology will play great there.

Why? Because shes comedy gold entertainment to those who dont support her. She'll politically attack someone for using the word "Retard", then mock someone else for talking about how important breast feeding is.

And because of her inability to choose her words carefully, she'll never be elected to President.

Maricopa is not very near Scottsdale, it's about an hour away. She might do well in AZ, as AZ is fucked in so many ways. It'd just be one more level of fuckedness.

Arizona is to the right what Seattle is to the left. Of course you're never going to see eye-to-eye. Thankfully, most of the rest of the country doesn't pay any attention to either one.

So 20-year-old Bristol bought a house. Would she have become rich and famous if she hadn't gotten knocked up? I doubt it. You hear nothing about her older brother, "Track."

She quit her elected position to become a political celebrity. No way she'll ever be elected again, but the shekels don't flow if she doesn't stay in the public eye. Hate to grudgingly admit that she is a natural at doing this.

It's also the core of the politically contested, fast-growing new West.

Fuck no. Arizona, and Scottsdale in particular, is the core of the exurban hellscape. The only substantive difference between Scottsdale and Wasilla is the weather.

Just another move in the game for our favorite snowbilly grifter.

Kinda reminds me of the time Saint Ronald opened his 1980 general election campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights workers were murdered in 1964, and said "I believe in states' rights," right-wing code for being against federal civil rights legislation.

I hear she's a shoo-in for superintendent of Seattle schools.

I don't think that she can see Russia from Maricopa, but she might be able to see Moscow, Idaho. Most of her followers won't know the difference.

Didn't Bristol Palin move to Arizona to get away from her dreadful mom in Alaska. Seems a bit hard for the monster to crowd her like this.
