Pray for us in Az - Sarah Palin is planning a move here

too many non-white people there, and I'm guessing she will dislike Arizona for the same reason. She has very specific ideas about what constitutes "real Americans" and anyone living in a city or non-white need not apply.

my thoughts as well.

could happen

right?

:shrug:

Of course it's only half serious, but the Baja Movement is the good people of Arizona wanting to distance ourselves from the hateful and stupid in charge of the state.

people used to be actually run out of town on a rail, the GOOD people of AZ should consider bring the practice back.

Gotta keep up that foreign policy experience, you betcha

I have worked for years to get back into a position to move back.

However, one of the reasons that I wanted to leave Texas was because of the political climate.

IMHO, Arizona has surpassed Texas.

I just bought a house here and have no plans to return back to AZ. I feel bad that such a beautiful state was allowed to be taken over by the crazies.:cry:

You're wise to stay away; the prevailing culture here is not what it was back in the day when Bruce Babbitt and Raul Castro led it. Once my son is out of high school, I may just move myself and it breaks my heart. I just can't take the social climate here.

All those ASU students who came here from out of state to party stayed and Arizona will never recover from it.

When I was a kid, I drew a picture that won a contest and ended up hanging in Raul Castro's office.

That was back in the day when our schools took field trips to symphonies and other fine art events.

I also had the honor of sitting next to his box at the Arizona National Livestock Show.

I also think the likes of Evan Meacham, the snowbirds deciding to stay, basically took over the state because the state that I remember was in no way, shape or form like the one that exists today.

The wonderful thing about Phoenix (back then) was that nobody really was FROM there...therefore the cliquish atmosphere that exists in other places didn't exist there.:(

But I don't think many of the "Pissed off and angry party" pursued higher education at ASU or anywhere else.

has Arizona become a nut magnet?

It is such a beautiful state . It is a cryin' shame that the inmates have taken over the assylum there

anymore..since her Elitism is showing..

I see it's already being speculated that she'll run for Kyl's seat. Guess she's worn out her welcome in Alaska, but thinks she can get to Washington on the anti-immigrant voters of AZ. She may not become POTUS, but there's still a lot of money to be made in private (as opposed to public) service.

God knows what she'd hunt on the border.

who has Nazi ties. Yep, not only the neighborhood but the state will be worse off. I guess she will be watching for illegals from her house.

in a working class suburb.

The house momma bought is in a very, very, very chi-chi area because you know, she's such a woman of the people 'n all...

I have in-laws who are in the area that I'm guessing the house is in (from the link above) but there's is a much more modest home.

A week or so ago, there was a thread here about how she's doing a "reality show" with two guys here in SoCal..

Most hardcore Alaskans would NEVER consider moving out of Alaska.

I'm curious what will happen to the house on Lake Lucille.

when I lived up there, and nothing would horrify them more than the thought of living "Outside".

I purposely avoid expending any time or energy on following Palin news, but my impression is that Todd's been keeping pretty far in the background for quite awhile. Does he ever show up in the media up there?

If their house goes up for sale, I imagine the Valley is going to have a field day with that news!

I trust you'll keep us Outsiders posted! :D

Todd and his snowmachine partner did the Iron Dog this year again, which is about the most news I've heard from him, other than the prostitute scandal with Shailey Tripp a few months back. The common wisdom is that he's just not that into Sarah anymore, but they've been keeping up appearances for the media.

As for the "Lake Lusill" house, I wouldn't be surprised if Track and Brita move in there to keep it in the family. That way it wouldn't be so obvious if old dad is holed up there, too.

Todd's no shrinking violet by any means (since he was basically the shadow governor when Sarah was in office here), but I don't think he cares all that much for the bright lights and big city stuff.

I'm so glad we have you! DU's eye in the Great Land! :hug:

anyone who lives so close to Russia is suspect

I guess that was just for tv.

Going from the freezer to the microwave might prove to be a bit of a shock! :evilgrin:

You guys have enough REAL problems without this dipshit coming there.

Stop the state hate. There's a lot of institutionalized disenfranchisement here--particularly directed against our Latino/Hispanic population.

UGH

Good riddance to bad Valley Trash, I say.

They did some improvements on the sports center house in Wasilla and have a couple of pretty nice "cabins" (that they didn't pay taxes on) out in the wilds, but I don't know anything about a full-on new house.

I didn't really consider that a new house per se since it's on basically the same property. My theory is that this is where Track, his new wife and Todd will spend much of their time. (Just a theory, mind you.) As I was discussing with ScarletWoman above, I just can't see Todd leaving Alaska.

hookup and run together. Don't know why, just this horrible, horrible feeling. No way will she run for 2nd place on the ticket again, though, so she will pick him as running for VP.

Ick, that thought always makes me thought up a little in my mouth when I think it.

as psychologically she is still thinking that *she* should have been the head of the ticket... so now she does what - try to take over McCain's life (ala run for AZ senate) and then... Sort of All About Eve-ish.

wackadoodles. Sorry. There is no hope for AZ unless the people come to their senses. I know I won't be visiting your state. But don't worry friend. Your cancer is spreading to where I live in TN. Don't say gay. Wackadoodles all through the south. I see no hope until the republicans have finally taken away all your social rights then these low working poor are going to start realizing they have been had. But of course it will be to late.

I smell divorce or separation. Todd would never leave Alaska, IMHO.
