I reproduce an earlier post below which shows that Gov. Palin has, according to Arizona law, residency and thus would qualify to be appointed to a Senate seat should Senator McCain choose to step down before his term expires. If he chose to serve out his full term, which Sarah assisted him in being re-elected to, she would qualify as a resident to run for a full term.

Governor Jan Brewer shared a link.
This Saturday at 3pm in downtown Phoenix, join me and Sarah Palin at Hope & A Future’s 4th Annual Strikeout Child Abuse Walk. The walk concludes at Chase Field where we'll watch the Arizona Diamondbacks.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, so join us and make a difference. Learn more and register athttp://www.azhope.com/fundraising/strikeout.phpIt has arisen on the Blogosphere that Senator John McCain might in due course vacate his seat. According to the Twitterverse the next step would be for Republican Governor of Arizona Jan Brewer to appoint Sarah Palin to finish the balance of McCain's term.It is easy to see how this concept has been given wings!Here is a typical leftist comment,followed by the facts whichcould give the premise a solid basis, advising that McCainmight hand over to Palin which sort of comment is clearly the inspiration for similar ones which have appeared."Voters have just recalled a bumbling state senator. I certainly hope we don't get the opportunity to have to recall
someone like Palin, too.Sen. McCain lost the election because of his choice of Palin as his running mate, in my opinion.
I'm wondering if he might not just decide to retire and endorse her for his seat....Or, has someone whispered in his ear recently, "Oh My God, Dad, she really is such a twit"...Inquiring minds..."Sarah Palin has purchased a large house in ArizonaShe is a legal resident under Arizona law (proof of this isprovided at the end of this post).Jan Brewer and Palin have had a friendly relationship, bothbeing clearly seen as conservatives in a clearly conservativestate. Palin campaigned for Brewer AT THIS VIDEO LINKAs far as McCain is concerned, there is no doubt whatsoeverthat he is committed to supporting his choice of Palin in 2008, something he has repeated consistently.There is no doubt whatsoever that Palin clearly has, a she has expressed consistently, a deep and abiding fondness for John McCain. Beyond the obvious fact that he lifted her fromrelative obscurity to having a massive national profile, there appears to be a genuine fondness and appreciation betweenthem.She of course, to much criticism from the right, not onlyendorsed his re-election but actively campaigned for him in 2010Under what circumstances might McCain vacate his seat?On a maudlin note, it was speculated that age and or healthmight be a factor.If, for whatever reason the seat became available it would beof tremendous advantage to Palin if she was contemplating arun for the presidency in 2016.She would have a public platform, She would not have tocommit to re-election in 2016 given that it would have been an appointed, not elected position she was undertaking.Perhaps the greatest motivation for McCain would be theincredible opportunity to stick it to the media by having Palin, whom they so harshly attacked, not only succeed him butuse his senate seat as a launching pad to the presidency!Here are the relevant facts;"Palin buys house in Arizona" Wall Street Journal May 2011***************************************************************"Definition of "Resident" Arizona Medicaid Agency Article C AT THIS LINK"An adult (i.e., aged 21 or over) is an Arizona resident if either of the following apply:- Currently living in Arizona with the intention to remain in
