Palin really left an impression on the community, as they expected to see the average govt people; not somebody who really cared like Palin, no joke.
I just wish the world could see the Palin I have watched over the last dozen or so years;;; and not the person the media makes her out to be. I couldn't blame her if she said the heck with them all; after doing all the good she has done for all Alaskans over the years.
Something else: Palin won't ever burn her bridges to the repub party; she could have done so years back and still won the gov race up here. I do believe Palin will change the repub party which I believe has to occur with the changing demographics and problems facing our country. Sarah Palin always did what was right for the Alaskan People as governor. Often the good ole boy repub network hated her, tried destroying her, but she had the trust & faith of the people. Palin's insight & judgement always proved up in the end; like I said: the only political I would trust. I just hope the repubs in lower 48 have the sense to keep an open mind to her ideas. I watched Palin fund dem issues such as education, health care for kids, cost efficient in the long run;;; and the right thing to do. The repubs wanted to kill much of what she supported and she fought them tooth & nail; but in the end she won and the people's opinion of her went thru the roof. She also really made big cuts in wasteful spending, graft, and reeally went after the crooked repubs up here; put a bunch of them away in the big house.
The dems never hated her until she ran for VP. Just keep an open mind to her ideas, she's aa libitarian/conservative deep inside; quite a good tghing actually.
Hey Eska, I hope your cabin made it all right and your pet wolverine is doing well.
