Apparently about 25000 people work in connection with the 535 elected officials on Capitol Hill. Budget numbers that could cause another rebellion if they became widely known. The three senators running in this election have always had huge staffs to rely on for the heavy duty work, and that is how they would continue in office.

Sarah Palin is the real deal, and thank God, McCain recognized it.

Oh, I worked in official D.C. for years, mainly the Pentagon but sometimes the Hill. On the Hill, staff does ALL the actual work. Members of Congress don’t really know or do “work” in the conventional sense.

Sarah Palin is a whole different deal. Like you say, the real deal.
