Her Name Is Governor Palin
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
By Howard Galganov
Why are they called Senators Obama, Biden and McCain, while she is called just Sarah, or just Sarah Palin?
Why isn’t she called Governor Palin or just Governor?
Not to refer to her by her proper title is not just insulting and demeaning, it is also horribly dishonest. Even past governors such as Huckabee and Romney are still referred to as Mr Governor when spoken to or introduced.
Rudy Giuliani is still called Mr Mayor. And he hasn’t been the Mayor of New York for almost 2 terms.
When the ‘BOYS’ speak and debate about their experience to run the USA, not one of them can hold an administrative candle next to Governor Palin, since not one of them has ever really administered anything.
When they speak about the ‘experience’ that gives them approbation to sit in the White House, what experience are they talking about?
Not one of them has any experience that qualifies them for the office of the President of the USA.
The ONLY person to have real Presidential experience is the person who has already been in that office.
So what does it really come down to in terms of choosing a US President?
It comes down to real experience, character and the ability to lead. McCain has two and a half out of three. Biden and Obama have zero out of three combined.
Governor Sarah Palin has a strong two out of three. As a matter of fact, based upon a REAL track record and experience, the Governor is far more qualified to be the President of the USA than Obama and Biden combined.
Just about the entire mainstream media, with the exclusion of FOX News has swamped the Governor’s home State of Alaska trying to find any dirt they could on her, and came away with nothing.
They delved into her personal and family life and once again came away with nothing.
But what none of them did was focus on her Gubernatorial style and success. They never asked why a rookie Governor in her second year of a four-year term has an approval rating of 85%.
They never asked how the Governor was able to balance the books, reduce taxes and return a substantial amount of money to her taxpayers. Or how she managed to clean up so much political corruption.
They never delved into the deal she brokered that made it possible for the oil and gas companies to pony-up $40 BILLION to create a gas pipeline that will feed the energy thirsty lower 48.
WHY NOT?
The media has had a field day with her $150,000 wardrobe. So what? What’s the big deal? I for one liked the way she looked. How much her Party spent to dress her up to make her look good is not an issue.
Maybe the media scrags are just jealous of her sensational good looks?
How many questions have ever been asked about Nancy Pelosi’s wardrobe? Or the wardrobe costs of Hillary Clinton to hide her big ass?
But why stop there?
Obama’s clothes don't look like they’ve come off the racks of Wal-Mart. And neither do the clothes of Biden or McCain.
So what’s with this sexist elitist crap the media has with Governor Palin?
Governor Sarah Palin is the ONLY bright spot in this entire campaign, especially if you’re a Republican.
In Governor Sarah Palin there really is a breath of fresh air. Here is a person who is absolutely capable of doing anything the BIG BOYS can do and more, since not one of them has ever had to do what she’s done as an Executive Administrator.
And now that she has the taste for Presidential Politics, and has shown that she can stand-up to the very worst a horribly biased, unfair and vicious press can throw at her, she has been fully vetted for 2012.
If Senator McCain wins and Governor Palin becomes the country’s first woman Vice President, she will shine, and eventually she will be catapulted to the Oval Office.
But, if Obama wins, as is more likely than not, in four years time, the people of America will be begging for Governor Sarah Palin to undo the mess Obama will make of the world’s greatest country.
Her name is Governor Palin. In four years time it very well might be President Palin.
I don’t support many of her social issues, which include her anti CHOICE and anti-GAY rights policies, but I can live with them knowing that the majority of the people of the USA will never step back to the way it used to be.
As for her other policies on the economy, world affairs, a clean lean government and the RIGHTS of the INDIVIDUAL, Governor Palin would look real good behind that big desk in the Oval Office.

I refer to the CLintons as Hill/Billy
That's OK. Governor Palin demanded that no one on her staff refer to that Leftist(redacted) Couric as "That Leftist (redacted)".
Many of you may have seen Greta Van Susteren’s programs, where she went to Alaska, to interview Todd Palin, Sarah’s parents and others, and to check out (but in a nice way) everything about the Governor’s life. However, I remember her more than once saying that EVERYONE in Alaska just calls her “Sarah”, not “governor”.
BTW, Greta has been one of the governor’s and the Palin family’s biggest defenders! I often thought Greta was a big liberal, but she has treated this family with kindness and respect at every turn. When she went up to Alaska, her interviewers were more like that which would be done on a celebrity; they were not political in nature at all.
Interviews by Greta and by Hannity make up for the garbage that the rest of the media has put forth re: “Sarah” and her family.
Lefties always do that. Or at least they have as long as I can remember.
No they won’t. Even if McCain/ Palin win. They haven’t called Bush Mr President for the last 7 years and change, they ain’t gonna call Palin anything respectful either.
The media may be slighting her but Americans call her Sarah because she is one of us and most of us love her. I can see how it could be insulting, but I haven’t found a politician since Reagan that I admired so much.
Couric demanded that no one on her staff refer to Governor Palin as Governor.”
Couric would be less impressed with the name I regularly call her......... and I don’t mean “perky”.
Couric is a over-exposed, tired witch of a person, and I feel sorry for anyone who is assigned to be her staff.
The libs refused to call GW “President Bush”. Instead they always said “Mister Bush”.”
Correct- watch the crals under the AM news from ABC in particular.
ABC still always refers to Bill Clinton as President Clinton.....

I hope I’m replying to the author, I’m rather new.
I think that it is absolutely necessary to push back on the media that refers to Governor Palin as just Sarah. Yes, she may like it that way according to one poster here, but in order to maintain and enhance her credibility with voters it is important to stress her stewardship of that large and great state by using her title.
I think Governor Palin is what we ought to be using—always. “Sarah” seems too cute and trite and it seems to play into that preconceived notion in the press that she somehow isn’t a heavy weight on issues. Let me say, Governor Palin can kick some a** on a wide range of issues, and in the closing days of this campaign I hope to hear more her views on energy (she’s an acknowledged expert on this!) and how to lead our country to energy independence.
I think maybe she has what it takes to be a real one name person. I don’t hear anyone saying that “Elvis” is disrespectful to the man’s memory! In the future “Sarah” may have only one meaning.
That is the formally correct form.
However Sarah Palin is who she is as an individual. And "Sarah Palin" is pretty awesome, so I consider it an acceptable way of referencing to her.
But Mrs Palin (or Ms Palin) is an attempt to diminish her by giving her a title, but one which, although technically correct, is less exclusive than her actual achievement.
Right out is Joe the Hard-Coal Miner's "'Lieutenant Governor' Palin"
