"It is no wonder that Governor Palin was the most popular elected official in the nation and the most popular Governor in America, she persuades people to her side."

I believe the operative word in your statement is "was". Her popularity dropped precipitously after her failed VP bid. I believe she had fallen to the mid-fifties shortly before her resignation as governor; an approval rating in the fifties for a Republican governor in a very red state, isn't all that remarkable.

That decline wouldn’t have anything to do with the politics of personal destruction, would it? Couldn’t possibly be the endless false stories in the state-run media about her, huh?

Is Alaska a “very red state”?

I sure the hell wish it was, but it ain’t (sorry I don’t talk or write like an ivy leaguer)

This state is full of Federal Government and State Government employees. You probably know how they vote. This state has a large “native” population, that while they may like to hang onto their guns, hunt and fish, they sure as hell ain’t going to cut the hand that feeds it, they, like most entitled peoples, are still sucking the government titty.

Now add on all the Green Peace, Sierra Club, Tongass Conservation Society Arts and Croissants crowd, the Hikers and Bikers, and you are left with a few such as myself who actually work for a living. Yes we mangage to barely hang onto a majority, but only barely.

Sarah Palin? I knew I’d like her the first few months in office when she said no thank you to the Republican CBC (Corrupt Bastards Club)

Sorry to dissapoint you, but we sure aren’t a “very red state”

So I guess that Soros-organized and funded Rat campaign to paralyze her government, smear her name, and bankrupt her family had nothing to do with that?

LOL, she resigned at 56% approval, that is a pretty good number and extraordinary considering the massive national attack by the media and people like you. Letting the national media die down and doing a little campaigning would have pushed her right back to the 80s which is where her current approval ratings are from republicans. Far above the others.

You really are a sour little man aren't you, the way you haunt the Palin threads like a hyper critical old woman that can't find much material, so she just has to be nothing more than a negative whiner, using constant nagging to express her personal disapproval and hoping that some of it rubs off on others.

And hoe is 0bozo’s ratings doing after only 11 months in power then?
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (December 21, 2009: Dear Reader is at -17)
He'd kill to get Sarah Palin’s rating after 2 1/2 years, in only his 11th month in power.
