“For starters, assuming she wins the GOP nomination, and actually were elected, would she finish a 4 year term?”
Given her record of upholding her duties to the Alaskan people, and the fact that a president is shielded from the kind of attacks in the form of moronic ethics charges she endured as governor—yes, without question.
“I also want a satisfactory answer to the question of precisely what role Todd Palin played in the AK governorship.”
But you will only call it “satisfactory” not when it’s the simple truth but when it does her real damage, regardless of how false it is.
“She has serious ethics problems. The ethics issue was the centerpiece of Mrs Palin’s campaign. Did she not read the law that she championed and eventually signed? Yeah, that’s what we need—more pols in Washington who don’t read (and understand) the legislation before them. (BTW—I think the AK ethics law was rather vaguely written, which is why there were so many complaints—in order to define the legislation. I could be wrong)”
The only reason she was targeted in such a way was that her attackers followed the Alinsky advice of using your enemy’s methods against him. (Oh, I get it—political judo. Real genius, Saul. Duhh. You doofus.)
“Based on her conduct in the most egregious of the ethics complaints (”Troopergate”) I think she would misuse the office of POTUS in a similar fashion.”
I think you’re using your keyboard in an illegal manner. So I think you would also use illegal drugs. (Not really, but it has as much validity as your absurd statement.)
“Face it, Mrs Palin has more personal baggage than an airport carousel at peak flight time. This has been and will continue to be used against her.”
So far all you’ve done is to say, in so many words, that you hope she isn’t nominated as the Republican candidate, and you’ll throw anything at her to that end. You tend to think that if enough verbal horse manure is thrown at her it will somehow take her down.

Hello? The ethics charges were not "moronic". IMHO, the legislation itself was "moronic". The AK law was vaguely written, which is one reason why there were so many complaints filed. Ethics reform was one of the centerpieces of the Palin gubernatorial campaign. Ergo, she needed to conduct herself a little more circumspectly.

Well, what is the truth? You have no problem with an unelected spouse sitting in on meetings and being a "Shadow Governor"? Sorry, but I do. We will simply continue disagree on this.

Oh, Bravo Sierra. Mrs Palin used her office to retaliate against a soon to be ex-family member, among other things. Yeah, just keep up the "she was Alinskyed" line. Again, she needed to behave better.

I was going to delete this bit of lunacy, as a courtesy to you, but then, I thought "Oh, what the heck? Let it stand." I stand by my original post.

Um...no. I didn't say that. You should realize that this interaction is not face to face, rather, it is written and posted for any willing reader to see. I merely pointed out that she will have to prevail in the primaries. You should not say "in so many words" if the person did not actually say that.
Thanks for playing. Have a great day.
