Reports: Sarah Palin buying $1.6M Arizona house with a view to the White House

Sunday, May 22, 2011: According to both Fox News and the Arizona Republic, today, Sarah Palin may be buying a home with a gorgeous view in Scottsdale, Arizona - and that  view is to the White House.

Jennifer Parks, ABC, spotted the home that speculation says may be the future $1.6 million Palin campaign compound in north Scottsdale, Arizona. On four acres, a local realtor describes it as "a low-key area" with almost 8,000 square feet,  a breathtaking view and plenty of privacy.  (See the  possible Palin  compound in the video available on the left sidebar.)

The head of Arizona's Republican Party and his wife are hopeful, reminding Parks, that Palin's daughter, Bristol, already lives there. Parks reports that that couple thinks the Valley is "exactly the place for Mama Grizzly to launch her 2012 bid for the presidency."

Not everyone will feel that supportive. Remember, it was Barbara Bush who said   that she hoped Sarah Palin would stay in Alaska when Larry King  asked Barbara if  she thought Sarah Palin would seek the presidency.  At that time, the unbecoming, somewhat snide remark, transcribed below in its entirety, was talked of for days:
 

BARBARA BUSH: Well, I sat next to her once - thought she was beautiful. And I think she is very happy in Alaska and uh, I hope she'll stay there.Continue reading on Examiner.com: Larry King Live: Barbara Bush makes snarky anti-Palin comment Video -

Sarah Palin is not one of the blue-blood elitist Republicans; instead, Palin is a Washington outsider, with star appeal among  the Tea Party grass root organization and  unequaled conservative populace appeal.

Now that not one, but two fence-straddling conservatives, Mitch Daniels and Mike Huckabee, have announced they will not run, this latest news that Sarah Palin may be breaking political ground in Arizona is sure to startle the Washington insiders - who all fervently hope Palin will not run.
