Sarah and all of us here know, that her record in Alaska, once placed side by side, will blow their records out of the water...

_______________________________________

Really?

Wasilla long term debt when she took office - $1 million.

Wasilla long term debt when she left office - $23 million.

She imposed a sales tax on everything including food (only "certain" medications were exempt).

Her bungling of a simple $260k real estate deal (the ice rink fiasco) ended up costing little Wasilla over $2 million in higher price and legal costs.

Her "banner achievement" as governor, the "pipeline", has barely inched forward and there is an even chance that the $500 million (yes, half a billion $$$) of Alaska taxpayer money that she committed to the companies involved will be lost.

The profits tax she imposed on oil companies (in addition to pre-existing taxes and royalty payment deals) has driven activity away from the state and her hand-picked successor is trying to reverse it.

That's the problem with palin...if you judge her simply on emotion, tweets, facebook essays and her ability to "make the libs' heads explode" then you do not get an accurate picture of her real governing record.

It is not that good at all.

And, yes, Virginia, she did quit.

What, in your "humble" opinion, is the difference between "quit" and "resign"??

"Driven activity away from the state" -- Really?

Really and truly?

Yep, you, Huffington Post, Mother Jones, the Seattle Times, and pretty much all of the other usual suspects in the liberalm MSM, call it a windfall profits tax, though Palin explains pretty clearly how it's nothing of the kind. Your allies are HuffPo, MoJo, etc ... you share distinguished company!
