so, Palin approves of the Obama doctrine: http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2009/12/surprise-palin-likes-obamas-nobel-speech.html ---------- Sarah Palin and President Obama don't agree on much, but last year's Republican vice presidential nominee just gave the president's defense of "just wars" a thumbs up in an interview with USA TODAY. In fact, she said that the president's address in Oslo, where he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize today, reminded her of what she wrote on the same subject in her hugely successful memoir, Going Rogue. "I liked what he said," Palin told us in a phone interview. "I talked too in my book about the fallen nature of man and why war is necessary at times." For Palin, that view strikes close to home: Her eldest son, 20-year-old Track, is an Army infantry member who recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq. "I'm on my knees more than ever praying for his safety along with all of his fellow troops," Palin said. "Of course, war is the last thing any American, I believe, wants to have to engage in, but it's necessary. We have to stop these terrorists over there." Conservatives shouldn't worry. Palin isn't going soft on Obama. The former Alaska governor went on to say that former president George W. Bush "did a great job of reminding Americans every single day that he was in office" of the lessons of the 9/11 attacks. "By the way, I'd like to see President Obama follow more closely in the footsteps of George Bush and his passion for keeping the homeland safe," Palin added. The governor, seen with husband Todd in a photo taken by Larry Meyer of the Associated Press at a book signing in Billings, Mont., earlier this week, spoke to USA TODAY as she was wrapping up a three-week, 18,000-plus mile book tour. She talked about journey, politics and her future. Pick up tomorrow's paper to read all about it.
One of the more unreliable polls because it's pure robo-calls that ask the question so the sample is a little tainted.

Greener Than Thou? ----- Tue at 6:36pm Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment? Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation’s only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change. While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand, I have repeatedly said that we can’t primarily blame man’s activities for those changes. And while I did look for practical responses to those changes, what I didn’t do was hamstring Alaska’s job creators with burdensome regulations so that I could act “greener than thou” when talking to reporters. - Sarah Palin
how has climate legislation led to their high unemployment levels. I would like to remind sarah that its a little different governing the most populous state from one of the least. and Ahnold didn't even quit
Dear Sarah, STFU. Dear Media, Stop paying attention to her. She is as relevant as any other yahoo with a facebook account. She is a political troll. Just like every other troll, when the going gets tough, she runs away and then tells everybody what a great job she did (prior to quitting). TIA
Sarah Palin's book 'Going Rogue' continues at number one on the New York Times bestseller list: New York Times Bestseller List Just an FYI.
So a Rice alum who regularly dines with Mexican industrialists would be perfectly happy with a three time college dropout as president. interesting...
Consistent with the type. 1. Get a complete populist puppet as president 2. Get your policies (or lack thereof) implemented 3. Make gobs of money 4. Go back to step 1
