I don't know if this has ever been posted here; commentary on Obama by Palin before she became the VP pick:


YouTube - SARAH PALIN PRAISES BARACK OBAMA!!! (pssst, only until she was offered a seat as V.P.)

Yes, as I said, the mayor is very slightly ahead. It'll be interesting to see some post conviction polls.

The prior governor was a piece of work who selected his daughter to succeed him as senator after he won the governorship of Alaska. He had one of the worse approval ratings (19%) in the country..

Whats up with Alaska politicians?

Stevens is DEAD MEAT.

Palin is simply ODIOUS.

Palin will return to AK after the drubbing. Now that she's tasted Potomac Fever, she'll try to remake herself into a national player.

We have a nest of dirtgbag right wingnut republicans in and around Anchorage that simply enjoy having crooks & liars in their corner...its been that way for years....support for the "Good ole boys network".....thats gonna be over here shortly

Add to that the crooks have always brought home the bacon to them....it very simple actually, its about dollars and who get them when they arrive from the lower 48 taxpayers

Frank Murkowski
Lisa Murkowski
Ted Stevens
Don Young

We're only rid of one of them but we're working at getting rid of the others...

Ole Frank...he thought his stuff didn't stink til he got tossed under the bus with only 19% in a primary...he totally disappeared after that and doesn't show his ugly face in Alaska now

One down....! and at least one to go, we gotta get rid of "Bridges to Nowhere" Don Young next....

Photo from yesterday after the verdict....

He most likely will not serve jail time and believe it or not, he does not have to forfeit his Senate seat even if he is in jail. Unbelievable but true.

Almost like the history being made in Detroit now. Ex-mayor sentencing hearing is on now. Being first is not always a good thing.

He is too old for jail time! Whoa, I hope I reach his age and know it. That's a good thing.
