I think that she was working in her own state which was her sphere of influence. And she was there for less than 2 years before she plunged into national politics. This is not to say she is not good. I thought she did not need to pay attention to National and International events while she was paying attention to her state affairs. Now that she has been at the national stage for a while she will pay close attention. Additionally I would say she should register at this site . And check out every now and then. That should help keep her informed with what’s happening in Washington administration, national politics and international events.

She can keep working as Governor and keep a tab on what’s happening nationally and within Republican Party. Participate actively. In a couple of years(at least 4) she will have a lot more accomplishments to boast of and if she can get it right she will have huge name recognition nationally and within the party. Also she will be better off if she can hire a few folks to work for her who can take care of her political interests (keeping these animals under control is very critical). She can’t keep responding to the media garbage on her own. Also I don’t believe any of this garbage in the media about her. She is governor of a state. State does business with countries. She has to have that knowledge and understanding. And nobody is expected to know everything. How is she supposed to know there are 57 states?

But I don’t like the idea of her calling these smear merchants “jerks”. She doesn’t need to argue with journalists. She would be better off if she has somebody who can keep hitting, manipulating and spinning the media. She just needs to be a fiscal and social conservative. For instance in case of FOX reporter doing “reporting with anonymous sources”, her “spokesman” could have just confronted this guy and questioned this gentleman’s integrity, honesty and worthiness in a public statement(for reporting rumors as news) and forced this fellow to apologize and kill this story OR to come up with evidence and proof.

And yes she needs to keep smiling. All beautiful, conservative and smart women get ugly, liberal and dumb women a fit and that to me is real fun.

What I get for buying used equipment.:)

At least I have Moe’s word that she is still crystal awesome!

Most presidents have governorship as their major resume accomplishment.

Yes, both are personally religious. Neither has tried to inject their personal beliefs into their professional careers, beyond the obvious moral compass it provides.

I don’t doubt, though, that the media will make this an issue. You know, it was okay that Bill Clinton only had gubernatorial experience, but it won’t be okay for Palin.

That being said, if Palin appointed herself to Ted Stevens’ seat, the media would never let go of that. I think it would be a terrible mistake politically.

Just to borrow a few of your words.

“All these blogs ignore the facts about her Obama, and dwell on her him to the point of being a Cult of Personality. Is there anything more than that?”

Do you profess to know the real Obama?

Do any of these ring a bell?

• Israel, Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza.
• Russia, Poland, Georgia and Ukraine.
• China, North Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia.
• Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
• Columbia, Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

What do they portend for our national security and regional interests?

Are you comfortable with Obama’s position on these critical national security issues?

Has buyer’s remorse entered your consciousness?

Or, do you still suffer from the effects of your cult-induced coma?

In ‘08, the typical response to this criticism of her experience was that Obama had little or none either. While true, that argument was more an attack on Obama than a defense of Palin. But in 2012, Obama will have been president for four years. That argument against Obama will be moot. To truly challenge Obama on those issues, Palin needs to get that experience somehow.

Stevens’conviction could be a godsend in that regard. I am assuming that his appeals will be unsuccessful and that, after they are exhausted, the Senate will refuse to seat him and that he will have to be replaced. I don’t know what Alaska law calls for in such circumstances. Would Palin appoint his replacement? Could she appoint herself, then resign as governor? Could she resign under agreement with her Lieutenant Governor for him to then appoint her? Senator Palin, IMHO, would stand a far better chance of challenging Obama in 2012 that would Governor Palin. Any thoughts?
