Senator Palin? Forget 2012, Watch Ted Stevens' Seat!

The race for the Senate seat in Alaska is very close, and as it appears now, Republican Senator Ted Stevens is falling behind. We should know the outcome by the end of this week, when they finish counting the absentee ballots.

If incumbent Stevens is re-elected he is likely to be removed from his seat by his fellow Senators if he himself does not resign fist. Why? Days before the election Republican Senator Stevens was convicted of a felony... for accepting 100,000's of dollars in "gifts" that were not disclosed.

Once removed it would be up to Governor Sarah Palin to decide whether she would appoint a new Senator or hold an election. Although, I think it is unlikely that she would appoint herself, I think she would easily win the Senatorial seat in a special election.

Let's hope that Stevens is not re-elected. Let's let Alaska keep Sarah Palin. We do not need Palin on the national scene. Let's keep Palin out of the Senate as we did the White House.

If you watch this video, you will also get a little bonus observation I made about Palin in a post election interview on Fox news. As long as she stays out of the Senate, I will do my best to avoid discussing Governor Palin again for a very long time... reason enough to hope Stevens doesn't get re-elected!

Thanks for reading. Read all you want, I'll write more.

And as far 2012 may go whether Obama is re-elected or not. I think 2016 is gonna belong to Hillary Clinton easily. So if Palin does get the opportunity in 2016, she's probably going defeated easily if it where Hillary running against her.

[NorCalCorsello]

Definitely some interesting ideas you have. Though, 2016 is a long way off and we don't know what kind of rising political stars may come from both sides. Depending on the performance of this new administration, It could open the flood gates for new blood in Washington, but if Obama's administration drops the ball... the old guard will become even more entrenched at which point, this country will be in real trouble. Time will tell. As for Clinton, her fate is in her own hands as Sec. of State.

I agree TOTALLY let Alaska KEEP her !

First get a haircut you greaser.

Second Palin would be better than Obama, Obama is not really doing that good. And fox is not on the republican if it was then O'Reilly wouldn't have agreed with Obama?

Oh yeah that's right they aren't to the right. Second if you wanted to see dancing around questions go look at Obama.

Good Luck getting 300 views after 1 year.

Dumbass Republicans and Democrats

And 2010 isn't that far away. Your voice is also very annoying.

I already knew that the two never spoke prior after the VP selection was made. Because it became so clear when two started having different view's in the campaigning.

As far as Palin goes, she might make a good VP, but I honestly can't see her even making it as a presdential candidate. She honestly had no idea even any of the presdential role's because she obviously hadn't been outside Alaska enough. There are other better candidate's like Romney waiting to run her over in 2012.

[OhCurt]

I don't get why she's popular, I really don't. Seriously, she's a corrupt and ignorant douche bag.

Senator?

NO WAY!

Put her on deep fryer, and maybe in a year if she hasn't messed that up, she can transfer over to the drive thru window.

Palin will be Pres in 2012 cause she's the only one that doesn't flip-flop (from either party). The only one.

[CoffeeShopPunk]

I had heard they never met before she accepted the VP spot, but that she received a phone call about it.

I think thats weird, but I can see how McCain was trying to make his extreme conservatives happy.

I think he would have had a better chance without her.

Palin needs to figure out and fix the almost $1+ gap in gas prices in alaska compared to the rest of the nation, before she was in office AK gas was about the same as the national average

heating fuel is the main problem up here
