Related: About this forumOh. No. Palin's name being floated to run the VA?
Which is probably why Oklahoma governor is being considered as Sec of Interior...initially it was said Palin could be named SoI but if she is now wanting the VA...explains why the OK gov is now being thrown around for SoI.
Heaven help the vets if this is true. Looks like it is being floated by a few media sources (which means nothing nowadays, but it's out there)

(9,974 posts)Initially reports had Palin but if I had to guess, knowing what we do about her...Interior Sec job is not glam enough for her...she would be off the media radar..as VA sec she can make decisions that will keep her in the news cycle over and over. Basically, the OK gov is getting leftovers in the job picking. Sarah probably pouted and Trump gave in...
And about that gov...she signed a state law preventing OK cities from banning fracking despite all the fracking related earthquakes there. Remember, it's an oil state. So if she becomes Interior Sec the whole damn country will be rocking/rolling
