There is absolutely no way anyone could seriously make such a proposition.
I used to laugh. Okay, cringe if anyone even mentioned the thought of Palin as VP, let alone P.
But, after almost 5 years of Obama, I'm wondering if she really is the worse we could do.
Okay, I'll slap myself but we have set the bar so low now, nothing surprises me.
I would not worry. Palin's time in office in Alaska improved Alaska's finances enough to improve the state's credit rating.
Reading your posts in this thread reminds me of the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland, who "believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Just to bring you back to this side of the looking glass for a moment, if that were true, Alaskans would love her, wouldn't you think? And yet, Palin's numbers show her to be very unpopular in Alaska. Only 34% of Alaskans have a positive opinion of her, with 59% holding a negative opinion. Now, who would know better how good a governor she was, you or the people in Alaska?

In thier sane and private conversations, I know GOP leaders would never compare palin above Obama. No matter what they must say in public, in private...off the record...hands down... not Palin.
There were two choices: Continue and face family financial ruin, or get out of the line of fire. Since everyone knows holding office is far less important than anything else, she chose family and both of them went to work to pay the bills.
There were $500,000 in debt, 100% of it from false ethics accusations.
What did you expect any reasonable person to do? Go bankrupt to cling to office? I suspect you would, as I suspect you think holding office is the ultimate goal and ultimate thrill. But that's not what someone who serves the people will do. It was costing the state far more than it was her. She served the interests of her state from start to end above her own, something no Democrat has dreamed of doing in your lifetime.
That's what Sarah said, a bazillion times, but she never showed any actual legal bills to back up her claim. Not one. Ever.
She did, however, create a legal fund for donations on her behalf. So whatever financial pain she might have had wasn't for long, and wasn't as much as that figure she trumpeted.
The $500,000 figure got a lot of discussion from all sides for years. No matter, now- the matter was all resolved years ago.
But a reasonable person would think that keeping her job and it's attendent salary would have been a smarter move than .... quitting. For you, me, and that guy over there, holding down a job when legal bills are stacking up sure makes more sense than.... quitting. After all, her salary was $125,000 a year.
But it does make sense if Sarah had landed bigger fish to fry, but the only way to cook 'em was to shed the obligations she had with her constituency. It's no wonder Alaskans fell out of love with her. She played them for chumps, just like she's playing you.
She has no experience as a community organizer. She's not exotic. She's not a constitutional scholar. She doesn't believe the U.S.A. has 57 states. She won't appeal to the recipient class, who outvote the donor class. And she hunts Bambi.

She has become a caricature...of herself. I find it really amusing that they call her out of hibernation to say the same old tired and inflammatory BS that she did during the McCain campaign. She's a one trick pony and that trick of hers is quite predictalbe and boring.

Why should she? It's not YOUR BUSINESS. BTW, I get my figures from someone who knows first-hand. And his name isn't "Palin".

I have no idea what was donated to it. Nor do I care. What I do know is that they WENT TO WORK. That's all that matters to me. They didn't whine or cry or demand someone compensate them, they just went to work.

No, it never was "resolved", except that all accusations were false, and the source was clearly a Democrat party effort, directed by the Chicago Thug himself.

But concurrent with that salary was a legal liability that exceeded her salary by multiples. It made no sense to cling to a salary that included more bills that money.

Wrong. Palin did the one thing ANY good public servant would do. Put the public's interest ahead of her own. There is no mandate to hold office or cling to it, running up millions in legal bills for the state (that was her concern, far more than her own bills).
Whether or not SHE was going to be ok was never in doubt. NOTHING, short of killing them, would take them down and defeat them. Again, you overlook the fact that the continual, unending barrage of false ethics complaints was costing the state MILLIONS of dollars, and consuming it's ENTIRE legal department.
The ONLY thing this proves... is that Democrats are willing to do anything to hurt people, and they don't care who gets hurt in exacting vengeance upon someone.
