Palin was the most popular Governor in America, and as far as we know the most popular Governor in American history, although that is not my claim.
Leaving office with 56% still fits in with that, and is phenomenal after enduring the most horrific, and sustained media attack in American history, that and emerging as such a conservative force on the national GOP ticket, naturally forced the liberals and the democrats in her state to see her as something besides just their beloved Governor. The later polls reflect the reaction from liberal Alaskans that we see in your posts, they had to judge her as a national conservative that could move the nation right, therefore a threat.
Your liberalism and constant attack on the more conservative candidate gets tiresome, this is just like your Trey Grayson crusade, just as nasty, just as dishonest, and just as sleazy.
By some accounts, Mitch Daniels is the most popular governor in America with an approval rating of 75%. Do you think he'd be a good presidential candidate too?
"Your liberalism and constant attack.."
And your continued insults to people who think Sarah Palin either unqualified for the presidency, or unpalatable as a practical political candidate is BORING.
Everyone who agrees with you = conservative. Everyone who doesn't = liberal.
"on the more conservative candidate"
Sarah Palin raised energy taxes. How is that conservative?
