Yes.
Maybe Alaskans just didn’t like Sarah Palin. She pandered to the school unions against school choice. There are plenty of supposedly good guys against whom you have to hold your nose when you get too close. Ronnie Ray-Gun met with Margaret Thatcher, Francois Mitterand & Hulmut Schmit to drive the stake into “Fordism” (High Tariffs & High Wages for American workers) to ship factories & jobs off to China. Ike refused to recognize returning Wehrmacht sad-sacks as POWs, dumping them on the overflow plains of the Rhine, putting fences & guards around them & letting up to a million die of starvation. Churchill presided over the intentional famine policy over 2.3 million starving Punjabis in order to stabilize the Australian wheat market. Big stinkers in history. Little Sarah is a nice person. So what.
