On the energy side of things, she and her administration have made a colossal mess out of the Alaska Gas Pipeline, among other things like half-baked tax schemes and revoking oil leases after a company commits to spend several billion dollars developing it. So she could swing the Anti-Oil Company vote, which is just about everybody out there.
I like how she's tough on spending, but just approved gov't handouts of $1200 per person in AK at the low low price of $750 million (or so). Nothing like cold hard cash to buy the goodwill of the people.
And the Troopergate thing is a mess, but may not amount to much if the right spin guys get a hold of it. Forget that the guy was already investigated and found innocent, let's just fire him anyway because it's "good for the state".
And she's been in power a whopping 18 months. Just wait until the power goes to her head.
She's cute, though! That's got to be something!
McCain can keep her. I want a new governor.
