You may be right. She just wrapped up the TransCanada pipeline deal with Exxon-Mobil which I’m certain played into this. That was an enormous coup, IBD said she blew everyone away getting the biggest, toughest integrated major (Exxon-Mobil) to sign on a project which everyone said was dead. She now feels like her work in Alaska is done and she has bigger fish to fry which is 2010 and yanking the Republican party back to the right and raising money for good candidates.
This woman has shown over and over she is tough as nails so assuming she is stepping back just doesn’t fit with her MO. You know the oil and gas industry is furious over how zer0 is attempting to dismantle the entire industry. I think Exxon Mobil (gave her a message from the entire industry during those negotiations) and wants some payback and as a result she already has some unbelievably deep pockets behind her. They see her as the best candidate to turn things around and she knows the O&G industry as well as any politico out there. IBD said that Exxon Mobil has the toughest investment standards in the entire industry and to get them to sign on was a real mind blower.
This is stunning, but IMO she is far from being done and given what Todd has already stated I think that will become apparent shortly.
She is talking about her accomplishments now. SO impressive. How in the world did she do that, with 80% of her resources going to fight bogus ethics claims? I am impressed.
What did Todd state? I missed that.
...IBD said that Exxon Mobil has the toughest investment standards in the entire industry and to get them to sign on was a real mind blower.
This is EXTREMELY significant. In this climate of cap and trade, Palin may have just got a deal which will be instrumental in turning the whole charade around for the entire USA.
Palin is NOT a clown. She's NOT a soap opera queen. I've always said that Palin is about OIL. She may see her work in Alaska done now with this deal. Now her sights are on the entire country.
