" You keep looking for it, Patrick. Perhaps after Sarah breaks away from her provincial ways and gets a few clues on things going on OUTSIDE OF ALASKA... Oh, and if she reads something OTHER THAN THE BIBLE - preferably nonfiction - and retains somewhat more complex thoughts... then... maybe she'll be a viable option. If that doesn't change, people will truly invoke the name of god... as in: GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY! "

" I am a very cynical jaded individual, at least concerning politics and politicians of both (all) parties.

My opinion only is that the Republican Party and other Repub. 2012 presidential hopefuls....are letting Palin do what she pleases.

While the ENTIRE nation watches, Palin will probably self-destruct. The more she opens her mouth...the more she puts her foot in it.

I predict that come 2012, the OTHER Repub. candidates will get out their knives and cut her to pieces...while the Democrats and undecided voters just watch. "




Peanut Santiago in Sunny Florida wrote on Nov 16, 2008 5:49 PM:

" Of course it is a letdown. It is always a letdown to see your candidate(s) lose. Even worse if it is a hometown guy or gal.

Democrats felt the same way in 2000 and 2004.

I have seen both Rep and Dem administrations come and go.

There is always the NEXT election...local and national...

For what it is worth...Stevens is losing...and it makes Alaska look good. (He WAS convicted.)

Keep the faith.

A fellow American. "

" I don't think Sarah is a representation of the people of Alaska. I've met a lot of people that used to live there and no one had anything bad to say about the state. They all raved about the state and what it had to offer. I think Palin has abused her position and ruined many careers of dedicated Alaskans because they didn't agree with her. Bottom line...they all couldn't be wrong and only she is right. She's not there for the people but only for herself. Alaskans needs to move on from her. "

as the lights go dim, and the stage gets dark, what will she have left?

all this proves my very first point:
ALL politicians are scumbags!!! "

" I didnt think it was really true but they are here. In a department store in Anchorage today a woman trying to sell me a $300 appliance started the conversation about how Sarah is going to burn herself out. Me too, I thought she was on TV an awful lot for loosing. Some how the conversation changed, this woman wanted Alaska to secede, never would she move south, "there are too many "People" you know, Obama is frightning."
Back to the appliance.
Hmmm. I think I'll go look in WalMart .. "

" The "Lower 48" can say anything they want! As soon as Ms. Simpleton stepped on the national stage, she - like all other politicians - opened herself up to scrutiny and ridicule by the public and media. That's the way it works folks. Now, if she remained as Alaska's governor and stayed local, that's a different story.

Accordingly, I think you rural, six-pack Joes in the rough and tumble "frontier" should quit your whinin' (WINK WINK) because you sound like a bunch of Pusses. "

You cannot wish her to be something inheritably she is not. Good luck to you all "

" Didn't Palin and the McCain campaign attempt to nationally villify and destroy the reputation of Monegan, seemingly a perfectly honorable man committed to the protection of Alaskans? Hasn't she been unusually vindictive toward a number of people in Wasilla who got in her way? Am I misinformed?

I wonder: Doesn't that give Alaskans pause about the integrity of Sarah Palin? Or is it more complicated than that? "




jgray wrote on Nov 12, 2008 7:11 AM:

" If Palin is as stupid, divisive, and terrible as everyone keeps saying, then you think Alaskans and the readers of this paper/blog are too stupid to realize it. Pretty insulting to Alaskans and readers, I think.

If she is as you keep saying, then she would have just faded into obscurity and nobody would hear another word about her. People thought Quayle was stupid, and what have you heard about him since he was VP? The fact that you keep ranting and trying to convince people that she is these things is proof that she's not. "

" Is it really that difficult to understand why Obama supporters are lashing out?
Look at the lies Palin/McCain said about him on the campaign trail.

Obama's win affirms that McCain/Palin are vicious liars.

THAT is why Obama supporters are lashing out and will continually do so until McCain/Palin apologize.

And if they don't?

MORE!

By the way--if Palin is telling the truth about her experiences with McCain--why hasn't he validated/defended her?

(Pssst! Because she's lying.) "

" Let's face it people. Gov. Palin had no business running on the GOP ticket. Had she really thought of "Country First-she would have declined. Instead she chose to feed her ego, while embarrassing herself and the entire nation, That we, the United States of America would chose such a laughing stock of a candidate to be our VP is mind boggling. She is at best, an entertainer. I'm still shocked she made it this far, but "you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Surely Alaska has far better to offer. "

so when obama connected mccain with bush policies mccain responded by saying he wasnt bush and if obama wanted to run against bush he should have run 4 years earlier. ok so when are mccain and palin going tp accept responcibility for thier own loss? claims are palin raised the polls but look at the landslide loss. bush and the economy didnt help and the people voted against mccain and palin. she said she wasnt going to point fingers.

He will need his mother's love and guidance throughout his lifetime. Please Sarah, settle down and take responsibility of motherhood.

Had he done some research and really learned about Sarah Palin, he would have found out that she is a dumb twit! He would have never let her go on any TV interviews and he should have hired her a campaign manager that basically told her what to do instead of it turning the other way around. Palin's Done! "

Your governor may be respected there but not here in the rest of the country. Perhaps you didn't see or hear any of her campaigning. It was filled with hate speech and fear mongering. She outright lied. She didn't follow the script the campaign heads gave her to follow. She is ignorant of world affairs and not worthy of being a hearbeat away from the presidency. She cost McCain the election. And she sullied the repputation of all Alaskans by her actions and demeanor. You can keep her! "

She needs to stick to simple concepts and talk in simple concepts.

" Sarah has made a sucker out of all of us.
Now that she went big time in the lower 48, she will act like she's just plain Sarah, but she will look down of everyone else and think she is better.

No one seems to have the guys to tell her to put her kids before her career.
Maybe has she done that, Bristol would not be pregnant. Those other girls and that baby need her to stay home and be a mom. And she needs to stop playing the sexist card everytime someone catch her in the wrong. "

" Wasilla, I have never seen anyone fight as hard as Gov. Sarah Palin did during this election. I am so proud of her and so proud of Wasilla and Alaska for electing a governor whose heart is America's heart. Please welcome her back with open arms and never let her forget how many hearts and lives she touched during this election. She has a fire and a passion that evokes love and appreciation for our American freedoms. Sarah and her family are America personified and we feel in love with the Palins during this election. "

" Sarah can forget running in 2012.
No one will forget how she and McCain tried to destroy this country, which could have lead to tragedy.
She and McCain fed the mind of sick, racist, anti-semetic supporters.
And that gave them an excuse to get violent.
If one of their nutjobs do anything to harm Senator Obama or his family, it will be the fear and hate started by Palin and McCain. You two have no decency, you have no shame. "

" Sarah Palin sould her soul to the devil.
She aun a campaign of fear and hate.

If she would have stood strong as a christian and maverick, she would have told the campaign people she will campaign on the issues, not hate.

I have a lot of Jewish family in Florida and they told me her speeches remind them of Hitler's speeches of hate and fear when he was trying to get people to hate Jews.
And then she pandered to us which seem phony.
So Jewish people decided they wouldn't vote for her. "

" I actually felt sorry for Palin (in the beginning) I felt McCain was using her to get the Christian Vote. I knew she was not ready for VP and although I was a Republican up until this election. I am a Christian myself, but Sarah disappointed my beyond belief...her slander and outright lies were shameful. Alaska, you can have Sarah back and please keep her. "

" JP: I don't know where people get their information or why they readily embrace smears and negative campaigning. Grow up, inform yourself, be serious about the things that matter for this country. Your arguments against Obama are false and most of all are lame lines to criticize your president, disguise your bigotry and hide behind your blatant ignorance. Please stop following rumors. Politics are part real part theater. If you don't understand the difference, please save us the pain to read your opinions. He is not muslim, he is not a terrorist, was born in Hawaii, he will drill.. youread. "

" People of Alaska-
Please help Ms. Palin realize that she is not up to the job of holding a national office. Please keep her up there in Alaska! McCain 'used' her to get the 'Hillary' and 'womens' vote and it did not work. It did not work because Ms. Palin is not intelligent enough to be any where near the White House.
I am sure she does fine there in Alaska, but that is not good enough to be in D.C. "

" jp - Obama didn't feel wearing some $5. flag pin on his lapel made him patriotic. Get over the BLING! I don't wear our flag either and haven't missed voting since 1968 so you going to call me unpatriotic also?? It's not about jewelry, the rest of your accusations are bunk! You must watch FOX News.

The Republicans lost on Aug. 29th the day Palin was put on the ticket. I really hate to see her return. "

" I didn't vote for her and McCain this time and I won't ever vote for her. She's a slimey dimwit with the backing of Dianne Keller. What more does one have to say. The only reason Keller was backing her so much was she hoped to get a job. The best thing Palin could do to earn my vote would be to distance herself as far away from Keller as possible. In fact, she should send Keller to Russia where Sarah can keep an eye on her from her window. "
