Another problem was allowing the frivolous lawsuits to drive her out of office. She championed and signed the ill advised ethics law that made this possible. With a Republican controlled legislature ad still high favor-ability, she could have pushed to have these laws repealed or revised. Instead she left the mess for someone else to clean up. The financial fiasco over the sports complex in Wasilla was another case of leaving office in the middle of a mess. It could be argued that the legal controversy over the issue of eminent domain was unforeseen. That may be so, but by the time Sarah left the Mayor's office, the fiscal mess they were in was clear. It would be easy for Palin’s opponents to come up with a slogan like “when the going gets tough, she gets going”.

Wasilla had $1.2 million in long term debt when Palin(™) took office as Mayor.

Wasilla had $23 million in long term debt when Palin(™) left office.

Her utter screw-up of a simple land deal that would have cost Wasilla less than $300K if she knew what she was doing ended up costing the town almost $3 million after years of legal battles and the use of emminent domain.

Exactly. Also the huge mess of the natural gas pipeline.

She has ideas and doesn’t know how to make them work. She spouts slogans, but offers no solutions.

We already have a guy in office like that. We need someone else. I am not even saying Bachmann is that person. I see her also as a person with ideas...she offers solutions, but doesn’t seem to be able to push them through. she also has no military experience or knowledge.

I am losing hope. I think I would like Condi Rice.

anybody else out there as tired as I am of the half truths/DEM talking points being spewed copiously by rob777 and tuckrdout?

Where are the Viking Kitties when you need them?
