Sometimes I am ashamed to be a freeper. Yea she is a babe and takes good pictures. She has also given Alaska the biggest budget in history, even more than the democrat she defeated for Gov. She works hand in glove with the democrats in the the legislature to demonize other republicans who disagree with her. Oh yea she came in on a wave anti corruption but has taken that to mean that anyone who disagrees with her is a criminal (sounds like a democrat). The usual disclaimer applies here: I voted for her, contributed the maximum amount to her campaign and had great hopes for her. All in all she is the perfect match for Juan.

I had the pleasure of talking to Palin several times in late 90's at legislative office. She's the real deal. I watched her lower prop taxes and thru her integrity; gain the public's support. Even after the good old boy repub network tried to destroy her politically; she didn't attempt a 3rd party run against Murkowski; if she had we would have had a dem gov. She didn't burn her bridges to the Repubs; she did the right thing for Ak and waited another few years. Then the repub voters elected her over Mukowski; everybody had watched what went on over the last few years.

Ya know, Sarah Palin does the right thing; that's what is important and that's why she has so much support across Alaska. I'm sure many Repubs hate her over some of her positions, but she can get elected. The swing voters in the middle are who throw elections. I think Palin would be much more a Nov election time asset than many other possible conservative Repubs. I wouldn't trust too many politicals of either party, I'd believe Palin from her record over the last dozen years.
