Some Want Sarah Palin to Run for Senate

No news whether she's actually interested

Sarah Palin's last elective position in Alaska ended early when in 2009 she abandoned the governorship midway through her first term.

But tea party activists appear eager for a comeback, urging supporters to contribute money toward recruiting Palin to run for the U.S. Senate in her home state, where, according to an email sent out this week, she has a "clear path" to defeat incumbent Democrat Mark Begich.

"You and I both know that Sarah Palin is a fighter who will stand up to Harry Reid and his pals in the Senate to protect our Constitution in issues like amnesty, gun control and our nation's crushing debt," said the email from Todd Cefaratti of the Tea Party Leadership Fund.
