Palin to run for another high profile office?

I wonder if the state of Alaska would want quit half way thru her term if she should actually win?

She has quit everything else! Her governorship and her family come to mind? But hey, she has Trump’s endorsement!

1 full congressional term = 1/2 a gubernatorial term. So, she can assure her constituents that she can definitely fulfill her term. On the plus side, she's only good for one term. In two years, they know they need someone new. She wouldn't be a Congresscritter so much as she would be a place holder until someone eligible came along.
