WASILLA, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin lives by the maxim that all politics is local, not to mention personal.
So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.
Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages....
Rick Steiner, a University of Alaska professor, sought the e-mail messages of state scientists who had examined the effect of global warming on polar bears. (Ms. Palin said the scientists had found no ill effects, and she has sued the federal government to block the listing of the bears as endangered.) An administration official told Mr. Steiner that his request would cost $468,784 to process.
When Mr. Steiner finally obtained the e-mail messages — through a federal records request — he discovered that state scientists had in fact agreed that the bears were in danger, records show.
“Their secrecy is off the charts,” Mr. Steiner said....
Ms. Palin entered the 2006 primary for governor as a formidable candidate.
In the middle of the primary, a conservative columnist in the state, Paul Jenkins, unearthed e-mail messages showing that Ms. Palin had conducted campaign business from the mayor’s office. Ms. Palin handled the crisis with a street fighter’s guile.
“I told her it looks like she did the same thing that Randy Ruedrich did,” Mr. Jenkins recalled. “And she said, ‘Yeah, what I did was wrong.’ ”
Mr. Jenkins hung up and decided to forgo writing about it. His phone rang soon after.
Mr. Jenkins said a reporter from Fairbanks, reading from a Palin news release, demanded to know why he was “smearing” her. “Now I look at her and think: ‘Man, you’re slick,’ ” he said...
Last summer, Mayor Mark Begich of Anchorage, a Democrat, pressed Ms. Palin to meet with him because the state had failed to deliver money needed to operate city traffic lights. At one point, records show, state officials told him to just turn off a dozen of them. Ms. Palin agreed to meet with Mr. Begich when he threatened to go public with his anger, according to city officials...

Why do the dems persist in backing losers ? I mean the person who should be the next president (Condy Rice) can't be because the media have done a hatchet job on her because of her being close to Bush. But she does have perhaps the greatest political mind in US politics today. But I understand why the republicans haven't picked her because she has no chance.
Why can't the Dems see, that though Obama might be totally acceptable to them in their idealist , PC, handwringing world he won't be enough to the American Public at voting time ? I await your answer anxiously.

Oh Iam not even Christian , it just suits my Political leanings and world view to support bible thumpers in this coming election. .Palins no Thatcher unfortunately.

We'll see at “voting time.” Maybe he will, maybe he won’t; but why do you think the democratic party should run someone counter to their political philosophy? Just because you guys have no integrity doesn’t mean we have to give up ours.
Speaking of “handwringing”, it’s the “please spend any amount of money and risk the lives of any number of soldiers, but please please please save me from the muslim horde” cowards that are wringing their hands.
aI mean the person who should be the next president (Condy Rice) can't be because the media have done a hatchet job on her because of her being close to Bush.
But seriously, there's really a lot of similarity between Condi and that...who's that old guy running with Palin?...Oh yeah, McCain. He voted with Bush's policies 95% of the time, right down the line. THWAWPPP!!!! Was that a hatchet? Sorry. Sure McCain at first opposed the torture bill, perhaps because he has an ancient dim memory of once being tortured himself. But in the end he came around and voted that Americans can torture, provided they call it enhenced interrogation. THWAWPPP! Oops! Sorry. He voted to give up our civil liberties via the patriot bill. THWAWPPP THWAWP!!! Who needs habeas corpus THWAPPP! Sorry, sorry...didn't mean to throw those. It's just too easy.
