Does Sarah Palin have any accomplishments as Governor?
I keep hearing republicans say that she has accomplished a lot as Governor and that she is a reformer. I have not heard one example of anything she has actually done.

LMFAO...only one of the least populated states in the Union with one of the least diverse groups of political views among its citizens.

5. Links or info? She did sell off the Governor's Jet when she took office - saying the Governor did
not need one... considering how large Alaska is, and how remote some places are, Alaska may be one of the only states in the Union that needs a jet!

Alaska ought to have the premier education, highway, utility, health, and every other public service in the world.

7. She Rode The High Price Of Oil To A Budget Surplus
A potted plant could have rode Alaska to surplus due to the sharp increase in oil prices. Alaska is like Exxon. A rise in oil prices results in record profitability.

11. They are just making shit up
Saw presser with some Republihacks from Oklahoma and Indiana and they were just manufacturing a new perception of reality.

I saw an interview with this lady on CSPAN taped in Feb and she was talking about the thing with the Polar Bears on the ESA...what she didn't tell you was she was there suing the USFS to have the bear removed. Hearing her explain her position I honestly couldn't tell which side of the issue (or even what the issue was) she was on.

She is vapid, but dangerous and I hate the prospects of this women being VP more than nearly anyone I could think of.
