I have a feeling that Sarah Palin might not get reelected in Alaska.
I bet no one in Alaska saw as much of her as they see of her now. I can't recall any state in which I've lived ever giving as much air to a gubernatorial race as the media (rightly) gives to a presidential race. That means lots of Alaskans see what they've not seen before.

Sarah The Slasher.

I can imagine just enough Alaskans being repulsed by her that they wold vote for someone else, her past 'favorability' not withstanding.

That state deserves better. Good God-the Murkowskis, Stevens, this moron...
Ak has some of the worst Repukes out there in power-I guess they put them in power but I am hoping they will come to their sense regarding Palin.

2. I hear repukes already mentioning Palin as their 2012 nominee
She is such an airhead, I don't know how they can even contemplate Sarah making a comeback to the national stage.

3. That was the early line
But in the stretch run, she's become really polarizing. The base/backwash love her. Everyone else (including lots of repubs) ..... not so much. This has been reflected in her fundraising, and for 2012, that's the only measure that matters.

5. Gov. Palin needs to be Impeached, now!!!

At the very least, Alaskans need to mount a Recall Petition & toss her out. She is corrupt & inept. The vetting process of her becoming Gov. must have been almost non existent. Her abuses while Gov. have been ignored until recently. The spotlight now has revealed her unethical & perhaps criminal actions as Gov. She screwed up by accepting the VP position that is way beyond her level & has brought about scrutiny of her as Mayor & Gov. She is unfit to be Gov., much less VP or possibly Pres. of the USA..

6. Actually
If you go to the Alaska board and look around 2006 and you'll see fellow DUers calling her "honest" a "populist" One said he'd vote for Palin if she ran as an independent.

I asked why they felt that way and 1 Alaskan DUer said he meant her person and she seemed genuine and down to earth.

She presented herself in a very different way she is presenting herself. It has little to do with paying attention but as to how she presented herself.
