She has been the Governor of my state for two years...in that time she has accomplished the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) for a natural gas pipeline..something other people had been saying they would do for 18 years or something insane.
She is a self-made woman, who didn't stand on her husband's shoulders, and use his reputation and clout to get where she is (a la Hillary), and has had the highest approval rating of her states constituents among any Governor in the country.
She is a woman of action. And we need someone who can be decisive...Obama has proven he can't be by his senate voting record alone. He also plans to do idiotic things economically...coal will be all but bankrupt under his plan, meaning electricity will skyrocket (thanks for helping with the energy problem, Barry). All I hear when he talks is "CHANGE", but he hasn't actually said how he'll change things.
And nationalized healthcare is a horrible idea, not to pick on you guys, but...look at Canada.
She's not a "dumdum", she was notified same-day that McCain wanted her on the ticket with him, so naturally it takes some time to adjust to the new environment.
Give her a year and she'll surprise you all, I promise...That's what she did here.
