I like a lot of her written stuff though; she goes straight for their wheelhouse. She understands what most Rs/Conservatives don’t seem to; the Ds view a “shot across the bow” as a miss. Unless you damage them, they ignore you. Foolish Republicans feel compelled to fire that warning shot in the hope that it will make the Ds behave better. They just laugh and say, “you missed.”

If you asked me if I wish there were more Cons just like her?…

I’d have to say …uggg….she fights like a …girl?…sorry jaded….

I like ‘Reagan’ style Cool tough….?…

and she is definatly Not missunderstud….

and….she needs to mix in a Cheeseburger….

O’Reilly just said his email was 50/50 from Conservatives on Ann I would say its 50 percent Conservatives who are willing to fight for their party for Ann and 50 percent of the “squishes” “Rockefeller Republican” and just people who refuse to fight for what they believe in. Ann believes what she says and she backs it up with what WE like FACTS!

“…hated by the media, academia, Greenies, public employee unions, and victim identity groups…”

I thought that could pretty well describe Sarah Palin, so I was angling for your endorsement of her.

I am going to have a bumper sticker made for my car that says “Sullen, Soon To Be Mutinous”.

Maybe it’s in the water.

She’s managed to keep the unions sullen but not mutinous because there’s been money. That said, both the supervisors and the COs took her to interest arbitration. I don’t think any of them endorsed McCain/Palin and only one of them endorsed her for Governor. The Greenies hate her, see, e.g., predator control and polar bears. There’s been plenty of money so the teachers unions and the University haven’t been up at arms towards her, but they certainly don’t back her. She’s come under increasing criticism from the Native community, but hasn’t provoked any battles with them. There’s be plenty of opportunity for that though when the BHO Administration tries to claim Alaska Native groups are sovereign and have a direct relationship with the US and we don’t have Ted Stevens to stem the tide on that. When she was opposed to Randy Ruedrich and Frank Murkowski, she was the media’s favorite Republican. They were pretty nice to her for her first two years. That all ended when she became the VP Nominee.

In Alaska, it is pretty easy to keep everybody at least sullen but not mutinous if you have money to throw around. This administration has had astounding amounts of money – until now. I spent almost my whole career with oil in the Twenties or less. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when it was up near fifty late in Murkowski and I didn’t have to fight with unions over money. We’ll see how this administration adapts to actually having to think about what you spend money on.
