I don't know.

My own niece was killed in Whitesilla at the end of this last September. Teenage stupidity and icy roads. She was a classmate of Bristol Palin's. I've never said anything publicly about it on this board; wasn't ready to.

You can keep your God-forsaken Christianity.
Can't rep you again yet so will just agree wholeheartedly.

Thanks; time is helping immensely.

This is interesting--I had read elsewhere that AK had the highest death rate among smaller children as well, but this study says something different:

Geography Matters for Child Well-Being (and so do $) | Connect for Kids / Child Advocacy 360 / Youth Policy Action Center (http://www.connectforkids.org/node/6573#chart - broken link)

The mortality rate for teens is astronomical though.

Regardless, she as a chance just like any other candidate from either side of the political spectrum. America has been divided to a long time now, sometimes the vote swings one way or the other, but in reality the last presidents haven't won by landslide. In relation to religion, that should not be an issue. We have had religious presidents from a long time now. I remember all the flack John Kennedy got for being perhaps the first well know Catholic, and he did just fine as president.

OMG. Sure, the Christian wingnuts and the insane apocalyptic, tinfoil-hat-wearing folks are behind her. But if she becomes the Republican candidate, the rest of the country will smack her sociopathic ass right down. And it will be SO much fun. What a lying sack of sh*t this woman is. Bring it on, Palin.
1) Do you care what Sarah Palin thinks?
2) Do you care about Palin at all?
3) Then why contribute to her public relations on this forum?

Ray, I think that only a few fringe groups would even support her anymore; I'm sure she's the darling of your Michael Savage. But the GOP needs to work on restoring the integrity that it had in the days of Tom McCall, et al. They won't touch Sarah in '12.

You're damned straight I hate her.

She hasn't got a chance, of course. In fact, it would be GREAT if she were the candidate, then she would lose, and that would be that. Finito with the Palin grand ambition.
