“Alaska and Hawaii are not the places where a sitting Governor can make and maintain a prominent national presence,,,”
True, and having been to Hawall last year, it’s clear that it’s a Marxist crap hole, but I have always been of the opinion that Alaska was not like that, seeing as how it has has numerous Republican officeholders. I guess that view was tempered somewhat when I saw what the “republicans” did to keep Lisa Murkowski in office.
So if you are saying that Sarah’s move was predicated on the premise that she could not maintain “national status” makes some sense. But her decision, for whatever reason, to resign mid-term is not a plus for her going forward.
You didn’t understand the post, read it again, it is the isolation and distance that would enable the national media to destroy a hated conservative figure thousands of miles away and tied to a governor’s seat in Alaska or Hawaii.
Palin was under the most vicious attack from the media that we have ever seen, and also from the democrat party and the GOPe,and they were all down here in the lower 48.
You mentioned Reagan, well he didn’t face that as governor, and if he had, there is hardly a better place to fight the media from than as Governor of California, you are just as well located as the media in that situation.
If you understood my post, then you would not be telling me that there are other rep. politicians in Alaska, the politics of Alaska or Hawaii had nothing to do with my post.
My point was the distance from the national media and political center and the three entities trying to destroy her, the media, the GOP, and the democrat party.
