Mayor of Wasilla she ran up a 20 million $ debt on a city of 5,000 then appointed
a city manager to run the city

Alaska Oil and Gas Board ..... quit boring too many meetings w/paperwork and
stuff

Governor of Alaska ..... quit but my
is that she was told to quit or face charges about how she got her house built in Wasilla by the
same company that built the town's Hockey rink

that was to house the hockey rink. I read someplace else w/Alaska's short
building season the idea that Todd and his friends built that house in their
spare time and on the weekends isn't believable.

about the bridge to nowhere. And that was a government contract estimate. Figure a minimum of three times that for actual cost.

She was probably called up by a Cruz mole or turncoat in the Chump camp to chip away at The Chump.

It's not one thing like, "Oh, Palin loves the shine; she can't help it". We all know that, it goes without saying.

Many times things have a way of working in tandem and we all know that political campaigns do calculations out the ass where tandem is many times the goal to facilitate one perception.

The Commerce Department runs the National Marine Fisheries Service, who manages salmon fishing allotments...one of which, coincidentally, is owned by the Palin clan.

All kidding aside, if anyone thinks Sarah Palin will do anything if there's no money in it for her, they're crazier than Sarah Palin is.
