Can’t she just go away?

There’s been speculation that Sarah Palin may run for the presidency in 2012. But if she’s learned anything from the last (disasterous) time she ran for a national office seat, then she will work on her flimsy resume first (either as a governor or a senator).

The current Republican senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski warns Palin against attempting to steal the seat from under her. This just may turn into a cat fight and I’d love to see Murkowski crush Palin. (Any chance it could be: three strickes and Sarah is out?)

“Murkowski, up for reelection in 2010, is nervously awaiting word on whether John McCain’s former running mate will run against her in the GOP primary. But she says Palin is the one who should be nervous.

“‘I can guarantee it would be a very tough election,’ Murkowski said in an interview.

“Palin is also up for reelection in 2010. She could run for a second term as governor, but the Senate holds some obvious attractions: a national platform, and with it the chance to beef up a thin résumé and rebuild damaged credibility on foreign policy and other issues.

“But Murkowski says a run against her would be fraught with risk. If Palin lost, her stock would drop just ahead of a potential 2012 presidential run. And if she won, she’d be a backbencher in a chamber that is dominated by seniority — and would have to begin her presidential campaign as soon as she took office.”
