Who is your candidate? Obama (you probably won't admit that, even if it's true)? Romney (is that any different from Obama in substance)?
Based on Palin's record, Sarah was an excellent mayor and an excellent governor. That seems not to matter to many, since she now stands in the way of a socialist utopia that would already have arrived if it weren't for all the "unexpected" bad economic news that has slowed the progress toward Obama's version of communism. Those who love America (a category that doesn't seem to include those who trash Palin without bothering to collect any facts) are not worried about the size of Alaska or about Palin's appropriate and clearly explained departure from the Governor's mansion. We're interested in Sarah's exceptional character and qualifications and their potential to facilitate Obama's departure from our White House - an event that must be scheduled for January 20, 2013.

Palin's(™)utter ineptitude as an executive blew a land deal for the ice-rink to nowhere. That didn't stop her from building roads and services out to the property though. By the time the town cleaned up after her it cost them over $2 million more than the original deal would have.
Excellent? Barely mediocre is more like it.
