Reporting is not "encouraging." This gives both sides, updates us on the buzz in Alaska. It's not an op-ed piece.

Just so you know, "dems" like Sarah news because Sarah is always good for a laugh. Like Joe the Plumber/War Correspondent news - same level of amusement/revulsion.

Didn't say positive reporting is not partisan, you did.

The main problem that I have here is that the only things that seem to be brought up, especially by the dems, seem to be aimed at tearing Palin down. In other words, partisan.

I did not vote either dem or republican (there were other choices, you know) and am just tired of the constant one upmanship practiced by both sides.

I repeat: dems must be scared to death of the woman.

Maybe.

I just wet myself, but I was laughing at the time.

I guess I must have been laughing so hard to keep from screaming in fright, huh?

Herein lies the problem with Sarah and her supporters. She's not ready to play with the big kids yet. She wants everything (for her) sweetness and light, all positives. She has to learn to grow a thicker skin.

So why not all this hype about Kirsten Gillibrand who does not hide the fact. Has ambitious political aspirations as well and it is ok for her why because she is a dem!
You people all need to check yourselves! The people will tire of such nonsense and than what will you all do?

Kirsten Gillebrand isnt making an ass of herself the way Sarah did and continues to do. Kirsten Gillebrand isnt ignorant of her chosen profession and if she were she would do something about it.

Kirsten is much younger and cuter than Sarah, too.

Young and Cute Counts!

Oh - did I mention she was intelligent? Magna *** laude at Dartmouth and a J.D. from UCLA? That doesn't hurt her, though. She's still Young and Cute.

Kirsten was appointed a senator, not nominated for VPUS, a heartbeat away from the presidency. We have no evidence of her parading her children around, having clothes bought for her by the DNC, etc.

Time for the dems to get a life.
During the last election, we were told being govenor of Alaska meant a great deal ... "executive experience" ... "international exposure" ... "the most knowledgable person in America when it comes to energy"...

Now you're saying that it's an unimportant position (and state) and doesn't deserve news coverage?
