Palin and Iowa

I recently got this "Political Poster" from a student of Sarah and Newt.

No doubt they meant 2012 but that raises the interesting possibility that Sarah and newt might run for Governor of Iowa first.

That would be a really awesome "maverick" thing to do wouldn't it!?

It's not hard to establish residency and run in a different state. Remember Bobby Kennedy and Hillary Clinton did it. Dick Cheney, at the time a resident of Texas, ran for VP with "W" Bush (also a resident of Texas which is prohibited by the US Constitution - not being from Texas but the Prez and Vice Prez candidates being residents of the same state). Cheney just "declared" Casper, Wyoming his "official" residency.

Actually John McCain was born in Panama but ran for President of the United States even though he would have violated the US Constitution that you must be born on US soil (the Canal Zone is NOT what the "Founders" had in mind any more than a US Embassy or a USIA Cultural Center in, say Madrid, or a US military facility in Northern Afghanistan would qualify).

Running for Governor of Iowa would seal in concrete Palin's reputation as being innovative, quirky, and pushing the envelope. It would give Newt an electrifying partner which some people say he needs.

Then, if they win in Iowa, they can launch their 2012 campaign from the "First in the Nation" state. Of course, they'll have to resign in mid-term as Gov in Iowa, but, HEY, Gov. Palin has already practiced doing that so it should be a cinch!

Wow, 2010 is going to be so much MORE fun than I ever expected!
