Not really, it's mostly due to when she got elected Alaska was pretty booming due to the $160 a barrel gas prices. When prices fell under $70 a barrel the State Budget was no longer balanced.

Basically, she's saying she can't handle difficult choices when they aren't handed to her.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 07-05-2009, 02:59 PM

basically she's going to be your next president.

watch man, 2012, Amerikkka's first female president.

omfg i will lulz my tits off.

Mikey · 07-05-2009, 03:02 PM

I dunno I kinda highly doubt that there's enough stupid Americans to vote for her, but hey what do I know.

Oprah for 2012!!!

al-Mu'akhkhir · 07-05-2009, 03:06 PM

it's not even a matter of stupid americans, it's more a matter of idiot conservatives. Even the CPC have hard-ons for her

So you're saying in a face off between Palin and Obama, then Palin wins hands down? No contest?

Ego Tripping · 07-05-2009, 05:40 PM

Shes fucking done. She's a laughing stock amongst nearly all politicians and media outlets (except for one, of course). Why do people even give it this much attention? Let her slip into the shadows and out of the limelight once and for all.

My gf thinks shes going to host a talk show or something, she's a much better fit for Hollywood than politics.

cantSEEme · 07-05-2009, 06:02 PM

unfortunately, a lot of hollywood douches have some serious political pull.

i dunno about hands down, but I could very well see palin being voted into the white house in '12. I mean... why not? Look at the precedent that's been set for presidents.

That's also retarded, as Bush got his 8 years.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 07-05-2009, 07:45 PM

well perhaps obama will get his 8 years too... though not likely.

I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Palin.

Maturin · 07-06-2009, 06:10 AM

I don't think we've seen the last of her either, but I'm beginning to think this is a temporary pullback from politics instead of a prep for running in 2012. Many articles are mentioning that she knows she's been badly scorched by the national spotlight and is especially angry at the negative press on her kids. I think she's gone to lick her wounds for the time being; maybe a future run for the Senate isn't out of the question.

I just read this:
Sarah Palin attorney warns press on 'defamatory material' - Jonathan Martin - POLITICO.com

thoughts?

The Rev · 07-06-2009, 05:08 PM

Hillary 2016. That's our first female president.

Followed by Gorlag 2024, our first alien president.

White guys won't be doing that job again until Kirk joins Star Fleet.

She's showing a hypersensitivity to the press which goes far beyond even the regular GOP dislike of mainstream media.

But if Palin is showing hypersensitivity against the press, then the sword swings both ways. William Kristol just wrote an good piece questioning why people (both liberals and establishment GOP) get so bent out of shape over Sarah Palin.

The whole thing is too long quote, but here's a link and a few of his observations:

Quote:

She'll be able to make the case effectively that she should be the nominee, or she won't.

The odds are that she won't -- just as the odds at this point are against any one of the GOP candidates. It's a wide-open race. And Palin may not even run. But the panic among mainstream media commentators and the GOP establishment suggests real worry that if she does, she might pull off an upset. Why else the vehement assertions that she's clearly made a terrible mistake? Why else the categorical insistence that her political career is finished? Aren't they all protesting too much?

........

n any case, this is the same GOP establishment that rallied behind first-term governor George W. Bush in 1997-98 and then propelled him to the nomination in 1999-2000. Had Bush accomplished more than Palin at that point?

Texas has a lot more people than Alaska does, but the Texas governorship is a weaker office -- and some of Bush's first-term initiatives went down in flames, while Palin's have largely succeeded.

.......

f she's as foolish, erratic and even nutty as her critics claim, then of course she'll fail. If she performs well, she may succeed. If you have an anti-mainstream-media and anti-GOP-establishment bone in your body, it's hard not to root for her at least a bit.

ProfessorMurder · 07-06-2009, 09:51 PM

That shit the Mccain camp was saying during the campain and just recently was very damaging, and that was from people trying to make her vice president.

spacecowgirl · 07-12-2009, 07:45 PM

It's not the end of her career but a new beginning.

She's writing a book. She'll be giving speeches. And she'll be running for president in 2012.

She's only just begin.
