According to this story, it's a real possibility. Our image here in Arizona is so bad already, could Sarah's presence make it worse?
According to the story:
For months, rumors have circulated in Arizona political circles that the former Alaska governor and possible 2012 presidential contender either was shopping for homes in Scottsdale or had already bought one.

And Palin actually has a shot at
winning the Rethug primary. This would be a great way for her to stay in the spotlight she craves.
