or buying her wares. She's broke. I don't think she wants to win as much as she wants the headlines, so people will donate, buy her books. and pay for speeches.

House seat, not senate. Failed at Governor, Failed at VP now she's downgrading and trying to be a House member. I think she wants to complete the circle with Boebart and MTG and become the three Mean Girls.

I'm pretty sure people of this stripe have never had a legitimate 'policy' position in their lives - (outside of 'owning the libs' of course). Setting aside all the late in life praise that John McCain won - he really got played (and badly) with Sarah Palin. I'm sure his shade is still rosy red with embarrassment.

I'm told he's around on Twitter, but seems like this would give him a second life as the resident AK expert on all things Palin. (I wonder if he maintained control over the now-defunct url)...

She should talk to Mike Pence and see how that worked out.
