Somehow Sarah Palin keeps making headlines on cable news. She's still doing interviews and talking about herself. Who's watching over the state of Alaska?

Sarah Palin was running as the vice presidental candidate and had to bow to the wishes of the person in her party that was running for president. She is her own person now and can do as she choses and if she could run the state while campaigning, I am sure she can do a few interviews and still keep the state running. When a person is a good leader and has things in order, one should not even be able to notice they are not present. When a person in management has to be present to keep things running, they are not a very good leader. I am thinking it is about 85% of the people in her state that are pleased with her performance as their governor. Maybe she is lucky the people in Alaska are not the vultures she experienced when she came to the lower 48.

I thought she did, but book deals, interviews, etc....

I wonder if her and Samuel the Plumber were separated at birth? I'm guessing he isn't doing his job anymore either. You know, that job for the company that it was his life's dream to own.

this is the sad way of thinking that our country has fallen to. I suppose that whenever George W was splitting wood at the ranch in crawford, that it was good that he could do that AND run the country into the ground. That dumb witch needs to go back to alaska and stay there. only the most neanderthal ppl want to know from her.

Maybe she is afraid to spend too much time there, she would have to deal with reality
Palin faces questions, different landscape when she returns to Alaska: Gov. Sarah Palin | adn.com

She was hoping to win so she could drop Alaska like a bad habit.

She belongs in San Pornado Valley. Not Wasilla. And certainly not D.C.

Actually, as of October, her Alaska approval ratings were somewhere in the low 60's, and dropping. The average approval rating of all the nation's Gavernors is 48%, so she's slightly above average, but not by much. The election brought a lot of unpleasant things to light. Her days of 85% approval ratings are long gone.

Last time I checked it was still a free country, Obama hasn't taken over yet.

Putin is raising his ugly head and watching it for her.
