Tea Partiers want Sarah Palin to run for Senate

[DonViejo]

Democratic Sen. Mark Begich is up for reelection in 2014, and has recently become more vulnerable

BY JILLIAN RAYFIELD

A group of tea partiers is hoping Sarah Palin will challenge Democratic Sen. Mark Begich in 2014, when he is up for reelection. “We know that, with Sarah in the Senate, conservatives across America can rest a little easier at night knowing that she’s at the watch,” said Todd Cefaratti of the Tea Party Leadership Fund, in a fundraising email to supporters.

“You and I both know that Sarah Palin is a fighter who will stand up to Harry Reid and his pals in the Senate to protect our Constitution in issues like amnesty, gun control and our nation’s crushing debt,” Cefaratti wrote.

But the Los Angeles Times, which obtained the email, reports that Palin might not have the “clear path” to victory that the Tea Party Leadership Fund says she does. A February PPP poll had Begich’s approval rating at 49 percent, and winning in a potential match-up against Palin by a margin of 54-37 percent.

Things aren’t looking as good for Begich this week, though, in light of another poll released by PPP showing that his approval ratings have dropped down to 41 percent because of his vote against background checks.

1. She likes making money so she won't run.

Besides she has no commitment to public service.

9. When she bought the home in AZ...

I thought she was setting herself up to succeed McCain when he retires from, or dies in, office. I don't think Alaskans would support her for Senator, they weren't too fond of her after the '08 election.
