Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday she would consider serving in the Senate if God gave her the opportunity and Alaskans wanted her to take the job. The state’s senior senator, Republican Ted Stevens, fell behind as the count resumed in his re-election bid.

We still don’t know the official results of the Alaska recount. If Republican Ted Stevens wins, he will likely be forced to resign since he’s a recently convicted felon. As a result, Sarah Palin could run for his vacated seat in a special election. While it looked like Stevens may have received enough votes to win, the Democrat moved ahead around the same time Palin announced that she might be interested in his seat if God and her state wanted her to choose that path. Think this might be God’s funny way of sending Palin a message?
