Palin's only Executive Experience: Palin, in a separate statement, said her priorities include making the Parks Highway the state's top transportation project, increasing recreational opportunities, increasing public input to the City Council, and promoting fiscal responsibility without raising taxes.
Additionally: A reporter for the Anchorage daily, Gregg Erickson, even did an online chat with the Washington Post, in which he revealed that Palin's approval rating in the state was not the much-touted 80%, but 65% and sinking -- and that among journalists who followed her it might be in the "teens." He added: "I have a hard time seeing how her qualifications stack up against the duties and responsibilities of being president.... I expect her to stick with simple truths. When asked about continued American troop presence in Iraq, she said she knows only one thing about that (I paraphrase): no one has attacked the American homeland since George Bush took the war to Iraq."
His paper found a number of leading Republican officeholders in Alaska who mocked Palin's qualifications. "She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?" said Lyda Green, the president of the State Senate, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. "Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"
Dermot Cole, a columnist for the Fairbanks paper, observed that he thinks highly of Palin as a person but "in no way does her year-and-a-half as governor of Alaska qualify her to be vice president or president of the United States.
It was reported that her husband was a small commercial fisherman. Well, the paper reports her husband works as a production supervisor for BP (and oil & gas company). And her support for drilling in the Alaska Natural Wildlife Reserve, as well as exploiting Alaska's natural gas resources, certainly won't endear her to environmentalists
BabyGate:
That baby is not hers, but her GRAND baby. Focus on the abdomen of the 17 year old daughter in the green sweater and in the black/white print dress.
Steve and I had already discussed it and come to the conclusion that even if true, its not something that could be attacked because it would make her more of a martyr, but also because it just screams of not-so-thinly-veiled sexism. But on a personal level - holy sh.......!!! :)
