For a fund-raiser, I mean.
Are there any local candidates willing to bring Palin in? It would take guts and an independent streak, not exactly something we’ve had by the bucket around here.
But if you were plotting a run against Larry Kissell and figured you’d have to get by Robin Hayes in the primary, maybe Sarah becomes your go-to gal. Conversely, does Palin say no to the likes of Hayes, an archetype of the log-rolling, cynical politics she claims to be on the warpath against?
Here’s a fun one — Health Shuler. Would test both Shuler’s supposed “conservative” cred and Palin’s shrewd pledge to campaign for candidates regardless of party. Seriously doubt that ever happens, though.
I do know, however, that it will be very interesting to watch candidates and campaigns navigate around the Sarah Palin question for the next year or so.
Bonus Observation: Richard Burr and Paul Shumaker so deserve each other.
