she has great endorsements from both sides of the aisle? Is that right Bill?

Give me a break. Palin was chosen because she was the only person available who fit their criterion of far right + female. That litmus test literally FORCED a selection from some outback place or the deep south, places where people who have the talent to do complex negotiation with urban leaders don't ordinarily live.

There is almost nobody supporting Palin that isn't a winger already. The latest polls show her turning off independents and she comes off like trailer trash, still.

Palin could not run tiny Wasilla(pop. 6K). She had to hire a CITY MANAGER(the first ever there).

while collecting 43000 DOLLARS for staying at home...
that's more money THAN MOST AMERICANS MAKE!
and let's not forget the ADDED BONUS from the annual OIL PER PERSON (similar to welfare, no? for more children equaling MORE MONEY)that all the people in Alaska get...and of course most of that OIL is shipped OUTSIDE THE US!

Palin hasn't managed any budget. She left her town with a 20 million deficit. She was the beneciary of $140 oil when she came into power in Alaska thus creating an autyomatic huge surplus. And yet she called for and took hundreds of millions of OUR money in earmarks on top of that. Some management.

She does have one thing going for her, a certain sexiness and rottweiler type personality combo. But her policy stances are off the charts into Dick Cheney land and beyond, and her religious beliefs are completely wacko. And that is a big deal when her church believes in and calls for the End Of Days, total war in the Middle East and Armageddon, the end of the world. Thnk about it. Quit supporting this person. She would be the biggest disaster in US history if she ever got into ther Oval Office and she is totally unqualified. You think GW is bad, she would be ten times as bad.
