She probably could do more of what she wants to do, as a senator. She'd get an unequal amount of clout as a senator and would probably get a lot more of the stuff she talks about, into the eyes of the people.

Agreed.

Not that I think she'd make a good US Senator, but she seems beloved in Alaska and they tend to vote for republicans who can portray themselves as the 'maverick' type- which she has tried to cultivate.
 
She missed her chance to run against Murkowski in 2010 if she were serious about being in political office. It's much less work and much more lucrative to be the kingmaker, so that's what I suspect her path will be.

Ummm, there is an election coming up.

Do you not think the voters have a right to information so they can make a more informed choice?

Huh? She was twice elected to the city council of Wasilla, Alaska, twice elected mayor of Wasilla, and eventually elected as Governor of Alaska, where she had an incredibly high approval rating. Where have you been?

I find it difficult to believe that there's anything in the President's college transcripts that can change a voter's mind about him. In fact, I don't think that there's anything more the President need to say or do to campaign, other than maybe attempt to make whichever opponent steps up look bad. He's already campaigned for 2 years on "change", he's been President for 2 1/2 years already (and has been able to implement just about whatever he wanted to do) and he's not fundamentally changed from 3 years ago. If his birth status or college transcripts or friendships or church attendance were going to be any factor, it would've been 3 years ago when he was a relative unknown with little political record to speak of and little experience to either applaud or criticize. For this election, I don't imagine that anything prior to 2008 will be that relevant. :dunno:

No. Palin's record as governor isn't relevant at all, since she hasn't even declared if she is running for president. Obama, on the other hand, is already in the oval office and yet we have never seen his college records. I'd say we have a much greater right to know everything about the guy running the country than we do about someone who has no political power at all.

I've never seen ANY President's college transcripts. I doubt anyone here has.

The reason being, like what he ate for lunch on May 19th 1994, nobody gives a rat's ass about meaningless trivia which has no bearing on his abilities to lead our country.

He's already earned re-election by finding and killing bin laden, after Bush protected the P.O.S. for 7 years.

Wasilla has a population of around 7,800, or about 1/10th the population of Houston Community College. Being mayor of or on the city council of Wasilla is comparable to being on the student council of a community college, but with far less actual work to do.

Since when is 56% (her rating just before leaving quitting on her state) an incredibly high approval rating?

First of all, you're talking out your ass, because there is no way that being on a student council is more time-consuming than being the mayor of a town.

But the point is irrelevant, because I was responding to the the poster who said she couldn't win any kind of election. She has obviously won several kinds of elections, and could easily do so again. Moreover, her approval rating for most of her term as governor was much higher than 56%.

Well, Einstein, if she could win numerous elections before, there is certainly no reason why she couldn't win another one now. The Senate seat in Alaska is certainly within her reach. Besides, if a "community organizer" from Chicago with no experience running even a corner grocery store can get elected President, then Sarah Palin can get elected to almost anything, that's for sure.

Houston Community College Student Council has far more complex and important issues on it's plate than the tiny hamburg of Wasilla has the collective IQ to comprehend.

56% is the state's opinion of her entire accumulated record as a goivernor who abandoned her state to become the female Donald Trump.

Her ratings started high because she was an attractive woman by Alaskan standards, and she said what people wanted to hear.

Every time she actually did something her ratings fell.

She could not win any kind of election ever again, not that she has any intention of running.

I think that going into the college records of a candidate is not important. Period. Especially when said candidate does not seem like a bumbling idiot (See Russia watcher from her back yard Palin, Sarah). I do not think that there is that big of a cry for it anyway in this country and Shooter seems to think when he berates the media for not going after it.

But, since you seem to question my answer - it was in reply to the following question by Shooter:

"Or maybe we should just ask our media to be as interested in the past of our president as they are in the past of a woman who doesn't even hold elective office" - and thus, perfectly reasonable within the context of the conversation as Shooter did not discuss the upcoming elections.

The idea that Palin is attractive only by Alaska standards is just stupid, and beneath even you. If she were a liberal, you'd be telling us what a babe she is.

Again, you're just talking out your ass. Here are the facts:

Sarah Palin was elected in 2006. After almost two years in office, she had an approval rating of 82% among all Alaskans. This was after she had passed quite a few pieces of legislation, of course. Can you name any other governor with approval ratings that high after two years in office?

You really ought to think before you post. It makes you look so much more intelligent.
 
A poll taken in late September 2008 after Palin was named to the national Republican ticket showed her popularity in Alaska at 68%.[81] A poll taken in May 2009 showed Palin's popularity among Alaskans was at 54% positive and 41.6% negative.[82]

Obama started out at like 60%+ approval ratings & now is down into the mid-40s... Honeymoons don't last forever I guess.

why'd you pick Houston CC? Portland CC is bigger.

A president doesn't do the job alone. They bring a whole host of advisors, cabinet secretaries and get to appoint judges. I think Sarah Palin would bring in people with whom I agree much more than Barack Obama.

You seem to think Sarah Palin is stupid or would make a poor president. What's your reasoning?
 
oh for fucks sake, why does it "seem" like that?

maybe you should send her a donation! :biglaugh:

If it were a choice between her and Obama, I'd vote for Palin in a heartbeat.

Really? If Palin ended up as the Republican nominee it would mean the Republican party is horribly broken.

It would mean she got 11% of the vote in a 10 person primary.
