Do governors have really bad advisors these days?

I cannot believe that there are people out there who think she's the shiznit and would be an appropriate presidential candidate. Are you kidding me? I'm glad she's getting out of her job - it will be better for Alaska to have someone who is focused on the career of attending to the state's needs vs. trying to do it as a part-time job while doing goodness-knows what else. Go out and become a pundit ( :teehee: ) or write a book about child-rearing ( :teehee: ) or travel the states teaching abstinence ( :rofl: ) or stand up for conservative christian values ( :rofl: :rofl: ).

It will be interesting to see in the coming weeks if there is anything to that link that was posted about the construction company, or if there is some kind of scandal brewing. I just love it when hypocrites are exposed.

ROTFPPMPWL!!!!!!

Fishy while I am not a fan of Palin I feel the need to point out that the job of U.S. Senator was exremely part time at best for both McCain and Obama during the election. And for that matter most of congress spends as much or more time campaigning than actually attending to the needs of their constituents. So from that respect she's hardly unique, but because of the media attention on her we're more aware of it.

While not defending abentee Congressmen, I do think that being Governor -- head of the Executive Branch of the state -- is a different type of job and requires more of a 24/7 type of focus. If she ever had it, Palin clearly lost that focus.

It would seem that in Alaska, New York and South Carolina they do. :teehee:

Oh, I know, otb...I just dislike her so much that it is easy for me to poke at her.
