Arizona Democrats Raise The (Fundraising) Alarm With Word Sarah Palin Might Move To State

The Arizona Democratic Party heard rumors that Sarah Palin might be thinking about moving her base of operations from Wasilla to Scottsdale and they jumped into action. That is, they wrote a pithy fundraising letter–this stuff could mean big bucks. “Help us send a strong message that Arizona should not be a stepping stone for extremist politicians and their radical agendas,” wrote party executive director Luis Heredia in an email to supporters. “Contribute to the Arizona Democratic Party.”

Cha-ching.

POLITICO’s Ben Smith first reported the possible move to the Lower 48, describing the logic of a move this way:

I’m told Palin’s camp is, at least, holding preliminary talks about how a campaign would look if she decides to run. One early decision, a source says: It would be based in Scottsdale, Arizona, very near where Bristol Palin recently bought a house in Maricopa.

As Smith points out, poor polling numbers have many in the GOP thinking a Palin campaign may never materialize, but that sure didn’t stop the Democrats in the Grand Canyon State from sounding the alarm. Here’s the full email:

Dear Friend,

Politico reported earlier today that Sarah Palin is eyeing Scottsdale to launch her bid for the White House.

“But I’m told Palin’s camp is, at least, holding preliminary talks about how a campaign would look if she decides to run. One early decision, a source says: It would be based in Scottsdale, Arizona, where Bristol Palin recently bought a house in nearby Maricopa.” – Politico, March 9, 2011.

There is even political chatter of her looking at Arizona’s open Senate seat.

The Politico article summed it up: “Arizona carries its own significance: […] It’s also the core of the politically contested, fast-growing new West.”

Help us send a strong message that Arizona should not be a stepping stone for extremist politicians and their radical agendas. Contribute to the Arizona Democratic Party.

2012 will be an important year for Arizona, and it starts now.

On Sunday, The Washington Post reported that President Obama’s 2012 campaign manager, Jim Messina, “has his eye on states like Arizona, where he argues that McCain’s absence from the ballot will give the president a better chance this time around.”

Please give $5, $10, $20 today to help the Arizona Democratic Party become the “big-tent” home to not just Democrats, but Independents and Republicans disillusioned with the direction of our state.

The big secret is out: Arizona is ripe for a sea change to elect leaders who represent mainstream Arizona values like a strong economy, safe streets, and better schools.

Yours in the fight,

Luis Heredia

This is hilarious. Look at the reaction to this rumor. They’re squealing like schoolgirls with a spider in their hair.

She scares the hell out of these guys.

By the way….I’m trying my best, but I can’t seem to remember anyone on the left hollering that New York “should not be a stepping stone for extremist politicians and their radical agendas” when Hillary moved there to go for an open senate seat.

Do you?

Maybe she will run for the Senate or Congress? That will really scare them.

One more thought…..

She won’t go for that senate seat, so you lefties in Arizona can take a deep breath and calm down. At least, as far as the senate goes.

She’s waiting for the intitial debates to be over from the Republican wannabes for two reasons:

1. They’ll rat pack her because they’re just as afraid of her as the left is. So, she’ll let the rats eat each other before stepping in and clubbing the survivors. Then she’ll win the nomination.

2. See reason number 1.

You don’t have a high unfavorability rating when you are basically an unknown. Now no more so-called “thoughts”.

2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

3. Ben Smith was wrong. Why isn’t that reflected in this “story”?

4. Now that you’re putting up a Dem. fundraiser letter, is Mediaite now a shill for the Dem. Party? Crazy.

Sarah should move to Az.. She’ll fit right in. They deserve her. At the very least, she hasn’t bailed on THEM.
She can live in a land with Death Panels!
Of course, they were set up by her Repug. Gov. and her trained legislature.
I”m sure that’ll just be a detail, and we know Sarah doesn”t about details .
Or facts.

He moved up after an election. She moved out for a paycheck. To me, that’s a difference.

WC–So do you!
Obama could not legally be the Sen. from Illinois once he was elected Pres.
The Divine Sarah QUIT because she could make more money on the Discovery Channel.
THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE!
Now, you defend running out on a commitment just to make money.
P.S.–If McCain had been elected, HE would have “run out” owing the good people of Arizona two years.

Sara Palin is welcome anytime for as long as she likes in my State. Maybe she will make the drive to see her daughter here in Maricopa where I live about 1.5 miles from her. I am so pleased to see the Democrats running like scared rats again. What is it about this Lady that scares you all so much. Let me guess, she has no white wash or paint brush, she tells it like it is, and that amount of light shinning on Liberals is just to much to handle. Get used to it. Welcome to my State Sara.

Oh Gawd….someone keep this stupid idiot out of Arizona!!! She’s already made a lot of big money through things that require absolutely no personal integrity. We don’t need her showing up here in Arizona and stirring up these hate mongering idiots who are dumb enough to believe the lie that the Republican Party is a party that is “of”, “for” or “by” the people. If she came here I can tell you exactly what kind of people she would attract. Basically it would be the haters, those who love being led around by the nose and told what to things, the racists, idiots, red necks and fringe elements of Arizona. We do have a lot of those here. Hey Sarah…stay in Alaska where you cut and ran away from your constituents when you was the governor. We don’t need you getting these locals all riled up with your lies, half truths and hate speech. Just stay in Alaska and enjoy the fact that there is an entire nation of stupid & angry white middle aged to geriatric GOP men who love to dig out their shot guns and jack off every time your face is on television. That alone should be enough to put you in female, conservative, right wing extremist heaven. You’ve got a pretty sweet gig going as you don’t have a real job and you are making big money doing something that requires absolutely no personal integrity whatsoever. Enjoy the ride because your personal hypocrisy is eventually going to catch up with you. Eventually, Fox News and other like right wing disinformation outlets will simply have another propaganda darling to take your place so enjoy your new found wealth where you reside. Arizona does not want you.

I don’t think any one is scared of Palin. They may be scared of her stupidity though. I actually think she is a pretty
good fit for gun toting Arizona.

So Mr.Heretdia believes Sarah Palin’s platform is extreme but, supporting illegal alien parasites who are stealing from American citizens and their children isn’t?! This is the convoluted ideology permeating the Progressive Party. Somehow, people walking into our House, uninvited and unwelcome is acceptable. The evidence that illegal aliens are hurting this country is abundant and irrefutable. There is no legal or moral argument that can support this illegal behavior yet, the Democratic Party in Arizona, and nation wide, that they can widen their voting base by supporting this nonsense.
