And I guess that check explains her popularity in Alaska. Way to go.

I am from Alaska as well and I can tell you that on my island she's referred to as the "former mayor of Alaska's meth capital".

Dude, get over this 80% approval thing. It means nothing to any parts outside Alaska.
It doesn't even mean that much in Alaska. The approval rating was based on "excellent, good, and fair" ratings. At one time I may have rated her "fair" myself.

Whatever rocks your boat, but Republicans and most independents back her up. Well...not all republicans, since she ran against some of the core-Republicans.

So what are you saying? That Alaska residents don't deserve the checks? Or that it isn't fair that residents of the state providing a great deal of our oil should benefit from it?

Hey Ray. I don't bother with the oil money and I'm a dreaded Democrat.

Get a grip. Not ever resident even applies for it.

Your little island hardly makes a difference in Alaska.

No, probably saying that it's easy to be "popular" when you're handing out $3000 checks to your citizens.

What would her approval ratings be if she were to run a much bigger state with a "real" economy.

welcome to the GOP/DOD machine. you are going to see a lot of that.
i think the beginning was when the "good GOP" was going to go to DC and kick out the "bad GOP" enough of daddy warbucks & lil orphan annie.

The pfd predates Palin by a number of years.
