An article in The Hill has me hoping against hope.
Could the American electorate actually avoid a Sarah Palin Endorsement Tour in 2010?
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R), who is running to become Michigan’s governor in 2010, said he needs a better explanation of why Palin suddenly quit her job before he’d want her campaigning with him in Michigan.
"I’ve thought about it but I don’t have an answer," Hoekstra said. Before making a call on a Palin visit, he said, "I need a better understanding of why she quit. Why quit with a year and a half to go?"
Does Palin's truthless and still puzzling abandonment of her duties as Governor actually turn her to poison?
Republicans facing tough elections in 2010 don’t want Sarah Palin campaigning with them.
Though the soon-to-be-former Alaska governor is seen as popular with the conservative grass roots, several Republicans said she’d help them by staying home in Wasilla.
Stay-at-home Sarah? Could it be?
GOP Rep. Lee Terry (Neb.), who squeaked out a victory despite his district’s overwhelming turnout for Obama, said he’d rather have House colleagues campaign for him than Palin.
"There’s others that I would have come in and campaign and most of them would be my colleagues in the House," Terry said.
Most of them also would be able to talk in real sentences, also. Does that really get more votes also?
Rep. Frank Wolf, a Republican from Northern Virginia, which is increasingly becoming Democratic territory, offered caution when asked whether he’d welcome a Palin fundraiser.
"I don’t generally need people from outside my district to do a fundraiser," Wolf said.
And in this case, you don't specifically need a lead weight around your ankles. Even if she is wearing waders.
But wait! Somebody still wants her involved in the 2010 Congressional elections?
The head of the House Democrats’ campaign arm said he’d welcome Palin’s involvement in the 2010 campaign.
"We hope that she will be part of the future debate on the direction of the country," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).
Dude, be careful what you wish for. The clothes will cost you.
Fellow Kogs, I don't know what to think about this. Part of me wants to see the circus continue, and part of me is laughing out loud at the idea of a Poison Palin.
What will we see from her in 2010?
