I actually like her as person from what I have seen. It is her politics I can't stand. She reminds me a lot of some my of dad's relation.

Please Mr. Goren. Tell an Alaskan what you have seen about Sarah to make that statement?

I thought she was the stronger half of the ticket.
Since then, McCain has convinced me I was right.

Why I like her? She reminds me of some of my dad's grifter relatives. Maybe I romanticize them to much, but I like them. I wouldn't trust them, but I like them.

She is a looker. No one ever said she wasn't. I am told she even better looking in person than she is on TV.

My Mother in law had lunch with Sarah when she governor. My mother in law said she was very, very intelligent and her looks were breathtaking. My mother in law worked in the administration of the Pioneers home. A state run program that if you are a Alaskan resident for 25 years at retirement you can live at low cost in one of these communities. Sarah made sure that these ran well funded and well staffed. I have never heard of anything as good as this, in any other state.

It was a term coined by the press. So what? The Carter Doctrine was a term coined by the press. As was the Truman Doctrine and even the Monroe Doctrine.

Dave, stop throwing the truth around. It inhibits the imagination of some posters.
She resigned as Governor after the 12th lawsuit notification by Democratic lawyers who were out to exact revenge on her. The state was going to have to pay for defending those lawsuits. She was tired of being harassed.
Chris, that program for retired Alaskan's is news to me
Her negotiations with the oil industry to obtain royalties for Alaskan's are one area I have seen her praised. We've been through this subject before. No reason to carry this on. Old news.
The media placed the dummy tag on her, just like they have done before.
Dan Quayle got it, for a misspelling and Obama does the same thing and it means nothing.
The media controls the narrative. This includes Tina Fey and the idiots who are accomplices in the conspiracy that is Democratic politics.
On that note, Sharyl Attkisson resigned from CBS news today. She was on the wrong side of the Benghazi story..........

Just about anyone who thinks about the Bush Doctrine, thinks about it in terms of terrorism and protectors of terrorists.

As unqualified as Palin was at that time, she was better than McCain. McCain is an incompetent who no longer has (or maybe never had) the capacity to become competent. Palin has the capacity to become competent. She just wasn't worldly or informed enough at the time (maybe still now too). McCain is a good argument for forced retirement past a certain age even though I am generally against that.

I would have been more impressed if she had been perceived as very, very, very, very intelligent with underlines and some exclamation points.
The problem with anecdotal information is that it's, well, anecdotal.
I think it's awesome that you live in Alaska.
But I don't think it actually adds any credibility to your perspective. I almost but couldn't quite reach far enough to shake hands with Gerald Ford at a rally once. That doesn't make me the final word on all things Ford.

When you graduate medical school while confined to a wheel chair, work in the White House, be asked to be syndicated columnist in hundreds of papers and magazines, win a Pulitzer and write a NY Times best seller while also working the lecture circuit, and become a star on the number one cable news network in the world, you can act like you're smarter than the man who is still in a wheelchair to this day. Krauthammer pisses me off sometimes too, but doubting his intellect is a joke.
