		<description>#18, July 14th, 2009 at 3:43 PM, Writing from Alaska Says: &quot; &quot;Unkind twitter tweet from SP - referring, I assume, to Andrea McLeod; “Are these constant, wasteful thumped-up ethics charges result of not caving when the filer begged for job?&quot;
Yes, thumped up - but we all have trouble spelling on our key pads. Andrea may have applied for a job, did she BEG?? &quot; &quot;

I don&#039;t believe $Quitter&#039;s Snark about McLeod re: a state job, because I remember Andrea as a very intense and vocal community activist more than 20 years ago - that was before the first &#039;job&#039; $arah quit, as a sports-caster intern.</description>

		<description>zyggy-is that $200,000 off the top of the reported $750,000 raised since January.   If so and it comes to campaigning for a national office, $500,000 seems like a pittance!</description>

		<description>When are they going to write a book about conservative bloggers, specifically about the ones supporting our soon to be ex-governor &quot;Bloggers on the Short Bus&quot;  And the thing I appreciate most about our Alaska bloggers is that if they make accusations against Sarah or whomever, they have the facts to back it up, not anecdotal evidence.</description>

		<description>@ Nan #52  Re: polls
---------------------------------------------------------
The wording of the actual questions in polls is important in understanding the polling differences. 

The USA Today poll from last week showed that 2/3&#039;s of Republicans would like to see Palin as &quot;a major national figure.&quot; The vague term, &quot;major national figure,&quot; can range all the way from the position of POTUS.... to dear Sarah standing in the middle of the reflecting pool on the National Mall with pigeons perched on her head. (I&#039;m personally leaning toward the pigeon gig for her). 
USA Today poll link:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-07-07-palin-poll_N.htm


In contrast, the CBS poll this week actually asked the respondents if Palin had the ability to effectively serve as President. Only 33% of Republicans would say that she has the ability to serve as President. 
CBS poll link:
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/07/14/poll-majority-of-republicans-dont-think-palins-qualified-to-be-president/


I suspect that a good deal of credit can again go to our outstanding Alaskan bloggers with respect to the latest polling results. Even though there was a &quot;sympathy bump&quot; for Ms. Victimized Palin amongst GOP voters after her foaming-at-the-mouth-heart-palpitations-ragged-breathing resignation speech, the bloggers were immediately busy exposing the lies behind her spreadsheet farce and the alleged zillions of dollars that ethics complaints were costing the state.......not to mention raising questions about the REAL reasons she quit. 

Yep, Americans reeeeally don&#039;t admire quitters, especially ones that lie about their reasons.

On the other hand, it&#039;s patently clear that the Alaskan bloggers are no quitters. Cheers.</description>

		<description>...and here we thought she was the lesser of two evils with &quot;Uncle Frank&quot;.  Thank GOD she resigned (quit).  I&#039;m thinking that weird language she speaks is as convoluted as her motives.  ...and we thought it was crazy when Hickel joined the dept. of the Interior just as the (oil) pipe line was being pushed.  &quot;crazy&quot; like a fox?  I&#039;m hoping &quot;spoiled celebrity&quot; is the end of her.</description>
