It looks as if former Wisconsin Senator, Russ Feingold, is planning a comeback by replacing retiring Senator Herb Kohl. The logical choice for the GOP nomination would be former governor Tommy Thompson. Public Policy Polling polled Democratic voters and found Feingold had a commanding lead of 70%. Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin holds on to second place with 12%.
Will Sarah do a Hillary? With all the speculation as to will Sarah Palin run for President another possibility has been overlooked. Sarah Palin recently purchased a home in in North Scottsdale. It would, perhaps make it easier for her to pursue the Republican nomination than staying isolated in Alaska. Overlooked in the speculation is the fact that Arizona will have a vacant Senate seat in 2012 due to the retirement of John Kyle. Ms. Palin campaigned for her old running mate John McCain in the 2010 Republican primary and surely must have a feel for the Arizona electorate.
I've thought of that, too, but don't you think it would be a step DOWN for her influence? Yes, she needs the experience, but she has so much power right now. It's pretty incredible, people camping out all over the country to try to catch a glimpse of her. Wow.
ReplyDeleteRight now her negatives are terrible but she is a young woman. If she were to be elected to the senate she could run in four years if the Republican nominee loses.Eight if he or she wins.Hillary had terrible ratings after she left the White House but she could get elected in a friendly state and if Obama hadn't come along she would be president.
