Former Governor Romney's "governing skills" brought Massachusetts homosexual marriage, RomneyCare, the big dig and much more. Former Governor Palin brought Alaska: AGIA (Alaska Gasline Inducement Act), which restarted a stalled project to build a pipeline to deliver Alaskas oil and natural gas to the lower 48, and ACES (Alaskans Clear and Equitable Share), which restructured a disastrous system of taxing oil comapnies to one that worked better for both the people of Alaska and the oil companies. Some of Palins opponents (such as members of the CBC that were abusing the tax system) have criticized this plan as redistributing wealth since it taxes oil companies and gives individual Alaskans a check from oil revenues. However, the Alaskan Constitution specifies that the resources of Alaska belong to the people (not the state, which would be socialist), oil companies were already taxed (but corruption flourished under Gov. Murkowski), and in reality a shareholder model would be the more appropriate analogy. Instead of the state wasting the money, citizens are given back their tax dollars. Big difference.

The jourbalists want Mittens to run so bad, they can taste something other than the usual appendages in their mouths.

I’m allergic to RINOS.
My doctor told me that if I didn’t vote for Romney, I should be alright.

Like last time, we RINOs must save Obama, our Emperor before ME.

“voters should not confuse campaigning skills with governing skills”
It seems that people use the term “governing skills” but somehow forget to look at the governing skills.
After seeing the movie The Undefeated, I would like to know what Governor in history even comes close to Palin’s performance in Alaska in terms of problem solving and promise keeping.
I’m admittedly ignorant about the specific historical records of Governors, but knowledge of the general nature of politics tells me that Palin is very likely the best or one of the best Governors we’ve ever had.
