That being said, she probably feels she is saying all she can. People can agree or disagree with that approach but it's clear to me where she stands. Governors are in a far different position than congessmen/women. If she starts speaking purely as a national politician, she will NOT be re-elected in 2010. She's already getting the crap beat out of her up in Alaska for her trips, etc.
Oh I totally agree, she is against the stimulus is bad but she thinks the Infrastructure portion of the bill is necessary, she has already been smeared by the Dems in Alaska for NOT asking for money, does anyone really think that someone who has NOT asked for more money is gonna be in favor of a bill that will make us into a socialist country, of course not. She is doing what is best for Alaska, that is her #1 priority right now, not running for President, but being the best Governor she can be to make her state prosper. Alaska’s unemployment rate is the same as the rest of the United States, they rely on Infrastructure, they rely on oil, she needs that Infrastructure portion of the bill to pass, that is crucial, it’s the rest of the bill that is total nonsense. Please, everyone, I suggest you read the letter Sarah wrote to fellow Senators, this explains everything

Also, if she came out tomorrow and blasted Obama on this bill, can you imagine the media frenzy “Sarah vs Obama” the media is already up her ass for every move she makes, she is damned if she does, and damned if she doesn’t. She can’t even take a piss without the media smearing her
