Palin plans to assist Murkowski campaign in 2010

JUNEAU -- Gov. Sarah Palin plans to raise money for the re-election campaign of Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, and hopes to end speculation she might challenge Murkowski in the primary for the U.S. Senate next year.

"The governor has no intention of running for the senator's seat in 2010," Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton said Tuesday. "(Palin) thinks the senator is doing a great job and that's why she's looking forward to hosting a fundraiser for her."

Stapleton said details won't be set until after Alaska's legislative session ends on April 19. She said there would be at least one fundraiser, likely in the next couple of months.

"I know it is a priority for the governor to have a fundraiser in the state of Alaska" Stapleton said.

"Obviously you are working with the schedules of two very busy women and so it will be when the senator is in Alaska, and it works for both of their schedules."

1. The Governor plans for nothing more than to market her ass.

She knows she's gone as far as she can in politics.

After her first book, there will be more. And likely a TV show.

Oh, listen to my story 'bout some white trash named Palin...

2. She might as well help out because she is done. I don't care

how many meetings her buddies have at various Denny's restaurants. She will never be President.

3. Wasn't she behind getting Murkowski's Father

OUT of office?

I could be wrong, but it has been my understanding that these two are not very fond of each other.

4. LOLz!

Palin & Murkowski.

Call NBC, this Situation Comedy might work.

5. Politics make for strange bedfellows

They are adversaries, but on the same team.

Palin would get blown out if she ran against Murkowski, and she knows it.

What Palin doesn't know is that she won't be re-elected next year. Her support is falling steadily and she continues to embarrass the Repugs in the state.

6. We can only hope that she will "help" him as much as she did McCain.

;)

8. Murkowski may want to ask McCane how well that worked for him.

Heh.
