And then, when she felt that the borking the national press was dumping on her was interfering with her family life and her running of the state, she did the very unpolitical thing and resigned. Find any other politician who picked duty and family over personal political power.
As long as she doesn’t go all Jewel on us, I can still see a lot of local support, except for the loud ones who won’t support her no matter what she may do. I do know that the genie is going to keep popping out the bottle no matter the attempts to put the lid back on. The national folks don’t have a clue about the Alaska way of doing things and it is going to flummox them totally.
Thus far she is the only 'individual' on any stage that can list on the job accomplishments. The rest might talk the talk but I have not seen much walking the walk. She has not sought to enslave her citizens and sell her soul to feather her own nest. But she will have to demonstrate a world of difference in her thinking than what lord McCain continually demonstrates is his thinking.
The GOP 'big tent' experiment turned into one expensive TARP. Time will tell.
