Alaska Senate poll: Murkowski 57, Palin 33

Almost a mirror image of the dKos poll last month. Is the bloom off the rose?
Pollster Dave Dittman just finished a statewide survey on a possible Palin-versus-Murkowski matchup – and Murkowski beats Palin, at least in this poll, hands down…
“And I think there would be a feeling, too, of overreaching — going too far, too aggressive, too much too soon — if Sarah decided to run for Senate,” Dittman said. “When you’ve already got someone there with seniority, who most people think is doing a good job, I think it would be a huge mistake.”…
A poll commissioned last month by the Web site dailykos.com showed Palin beating Murkowski 55 to 31 percent, although local pollster Dittman says he has concerns about the methods used to arrive at those numbers.
One or the other poll’s dramatically skewed, as nothing’s happened in the last three weeks to warrant a 25-point swing. Except, er, the allegations — since rescinded — that Alaska cops suspended their drug investigation into Levi Johnston’s mother until after the election. Or the new questions over how Johnston landed a job for which he might be ineligible under federal law. Or Bristol Palin giving birth, prompting another round of wrangling between the ‘Cuda and the media. I think that covers everything.
Exit question: If she doesn’t challenge Murkowski in 2010 or The One in 2012, how’s she going to stay on the national media’s radar until 2016? Fox News will have to set aside a special weekly kaffeeklatsch segment for her or something. Don’t let us down, Greta!

And I will hold you to the same, since I know Big Schnookem’s won’t come thru.

My point is that I don’t need some writer/columnist to tell me what to think and who to vote for.
terryannonline on January 6, 2009 at 7:32 PM
Levi Johnston for public enemy #1.
technopeasant on January 6, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Benny,
What is this problem you have with Palin? It’s so…pathological. Watching you post here with such hatin on Palin is unseemly. What makes it so strange is that most people here who are not Palin fans have legitimate reasons why they think she is not the best choice in 2012. But you have no real explanation for it. We can’t tell if you are an Obamabot, a freelance leftist, paid Axelrod goon, militant gayboy (problem of the bottom variety), Romney fan, Paul fan, etc.
What’s the story with you? You are like a Michigan Wolverine fan hatin on the Buckeyes in your targeting of Palin but with no logic.
I’m talkin serious therapy needed. I could probably put together a real list of Republicans to truly hate on but Sarah Palin has got to be the least hateable human being in politics I may have ever met (shook hands with her).
This goes for a few others here. What is with you people? If you have another choice to carry the GOP banner, throw it out there and be positive about that choice. But this goin so negative on what appears to be a decent woman is unbelievable.
I’m guessing given Upinak thinks you are not in Alaska, you’ve got gay Seattlite written all over you.
Am I close?
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Yes Big ASS, she did say some dopey things. She really did a great job rallying folks in 3 months though didn’t she? Imagine what she could do if she actually ran her own campaign, with her message, surrounded by people loyal to HER and not muzzled by the McCain dorks?
Come on, every other republican in contention for VP had been running a campaign for 3 years. Palin comes in, and in 3 months does more for the ticket than any of the other guys could. Without Palin, McCain would have won Arizona,Mississippi,Tennesee & Utah- THATS IT.
portlandon on January 6, 2009 at 7:35 PM
therightwinger states that Mitt Romney is the right conservative for the job
therightwinger loves those “elites’
but yet Mitt Romney institutes government mandated health care
http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=8836
which not conservative at all
and then when rightwinger is called on it … he claims that the liberal legislature twisted his program … even though Romney is this vastly intelligent human being … but he doesn’t realize that the legislature would twist his health care proposal
Romney is a fine man … I voted for him in the primaries.
Next up is Bobby Jindal, also a fine man … Jindal has been the Governor of LA. since 2006 ( just as long as Palin has been governor) Now … Jindal is qualified because he is a “rhode’s scholar” … an “elite”
Yet … Bill Clinton was a rhode’s scholar … go figure
and then
to top it all off … we can’t compare anybody to Reagan because he was so great (which he was)
YET
YET
Reagan was a c student in college and was labeled an “amiable dunce” by the media, dems and some Republicans
You just can’t make this stuff up!
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 7:40 PM
I’m imagining it, and it isn’t pretty. Every time she didn’t have the official McCain campaign script projected on a screen in front of her, she made a total fool out of herself for millions to see. That’s why they didn’t want her to give press conferences. It’s called damage control.
Big S on January 6, 2009 at 7:41 PM
Exactly … I don’t see how it benefits the GOP to trash a Republican for whom 20,000 people are willing to stand in the rain for 3 hours just to hear speak.
Especially when the opponent in the next election is going to probably be able to do the same …
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 7:42 PM
Hey I asked about that link to prove what you said on page 4. Wanna get a move on there slick?
upinak on January 6, 2009 at 7:43 PM
what in the world are you talking about?
Have you ever seen the governor give interviews other than the ones from the campaign … or are you another one of these people who gets their news from SNL?
There is this thing called the internet … where you can watch videos and stuff! Its amazing … Palin can be found on Kudlow and Co. Charlie Rose and others
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 7:44 PM
you must have went to the Benny Shakur school of debate…
make a claim and then when asked to explain or to prove your position … just ignore
drive by debating?
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 7:45 PM
From the ADN:
meltenn on January 6, 2009 at 7:45 PM
I’m not saying she wasn’t put aside. I’m saying she was put aside because she sounded like an idiot and made the campaign look bad. You’re contending that she was put aside for some other, more sinister reason (the “liberal” McCain didn’t want a strong conservative stealing his thunder … or something). I think you’re the one in need of some extra evidence.
Big S on January 6, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Thanks for not assuming I had ill intentions. I see how that impression could have been left.
Honestly, I wanted our guy to be Romney. Had I been given the opportunity, I would have voted for him in the primaries.
I’m just not convinced he’s electable. That’s all I meant. I’d like to be proven wrong, but prejudice against Mormons is fairly accepted, even among people who abhor prejudice.
And as to Jindal, I like him, but he’s no more proven himself than Palin has. I like him too, but like Palin, I think he needs a little more experience first. Then I think they could both dramatically change the party for the better.
Esthier on January 6, 2009 at 7:46 PM
WHEN BIG? I am asking you to prove it via some media link. Use Google and get your job done!
upinak on January 6, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Are you talking about the one where she wonders aloud what it is that the VP does?
You’re not helping your case.
Big S on January 6, 2009 at 7:48 PM
No surprise. I’m not letting her be blog-raped by punks like benny without a fight. I’m guessing this is Allah’s way to measure support for her.
When an innocent woman is attacked, you come to her defense and the defense of her family. That is the humane and Christian thing to do. I’m a Samaritan in that regard.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 7:48 PM
What, exactly, are you asking me to prove? It sounds to me like you misunderstood my comment and are asking me to prove your own paranoid musings with a media link.
Big S on January 6, 2009 at 7:50 PM
I haven’t read through all the pages of this discussion, but I hope someone has taken the time to link to this article about these two polls.
The man behind this poll is Dan Fagan, a major league a$$hole — to borrow a phrase from Dick Cheney. Fagan’s blog The Alaska This guy hated Palin from the moment she ran for governor. Why? Because she challenged his old friend Frank Murkowski.
It should also be noted that Fagan’s website the Alaska Standard commissioned the poll, and guess who is one of the nine contributors to the Alaska Standard? You guessed it: Lisa Murkowski. Gee, a poll commissioned by her friend for the website she writes for comes up with dramatically different results from the poll commissioned one month prior.
Here’s an excerpt mentioning Fagan from Kaylene Johnson’s bio of Palin:
He’s always been out to destroy her and her credibility. Here’s Palin ripping him a new one on his radio show. It’s quite amusing. And here is another interview she did on his radio show in which he bemoans the fact that she mandated that legislators speak with her about their spending requests. This was her method of reining in runaway spending, and it was effective. They used to be able to assemble their budgets behind closed doors and make back room deals and then rubber stamp it. Fagan whines about legislators who feel that Palin is “shaming them” by making them explain why they want millions of dollars for pet projects in their districts.
Oh, and he is also the jerk that Palin’s Lt. Governor Sean Parnell mentioned in one of the private emails that was released after it was hacked. In that particular email, Parnell bemoaned the fact that Dan Fagan had targeted him and was slinging crap at him. Parnell had tried to change Alaska’s lifelong Congressman Young in the Republican primaries. Idiots like Dan Fagan like keeping corrupt old pork politicians in place.
I’m sorry to say this, but the Alaska GOP establishment is everything that’s wrong with the GOP. Fagan is the voice of the Alaska GOP establishment. The guy is a gutless worm. If he and his kind hate Palin, then she’s fine by me.
ramrocks on January 6, 2009 at 7:51 PM
ROFLMAO … that was a joke … George HW Bush used to describe his job as “you die, I fly”
is that the best you’ve got?
What DOES the Vice President do?
Our current VP-Elect doesn’t even know which article of the constitution established the executive branch
try again
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 7:52 PM
You are not helping yours.
Don’t give us reasons to vote against Sarah. Give us reasons to vote FOR someone like Romney or someone else.
Quit breakin Ron’s commandment and start building up, not tearing down.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 7:53 PM
wow … awesome as always
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 7:54 PM
I also think those on the Left are measuring support for her as they attack and see how various of their lies do.
INC on January 6, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Took care of on the very first page. How you doing BTW.
And I used the original source.. as I am tired of the BS. Fagan can turn into the fat man on Dune and float away for all I care about the bloated hog.
upinak on January 6, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Should have read it from the beginning.
upinak on January 6, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Why don’t you trolls go back to when Sarah was a child and dig up that she once said that she didn’t like the Cosby show to make her out to be a racist? Or when she was 5 years old and didn’t play with the right dolls. So she was flippant about being VP or a VP candidate. Get over it. She has already been a VP candidate. We’re way past the comment she made on Kudlow.
technopeasant on January 6, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Right on Ram!
There is a reason behind EVERY great populist in American history. Palin’s rise is at least partially attributable to evil in the GOP in Alaska. And I do mean evil fallen corrupt machine parts like Fagan and other leaches off the oil co. scraps. Maggots. They need to shape up and all work together for Alaska and the USA.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Make sure you vote in our own poll up at the site, you will find it on the top of the right sidebar:

joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 7:59 PM
Thanks, ramrocks.
I didn’t know Lisa Murkowski was a player as well. Thanks for additional details.
INC on January 6, 2009 at 7:59 PM
two people leave a political machine:
people like Obama who play along to get along and have a lot of friends
or
people like Palin who break the machine and make tons of enemies
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Balderdash! Palin did fine in front of millions, and fluffed up an interview with Katie Couric. Palin is FAR from the Tina Fey impersonation that the Medioso wants you to believe. There is something genuine about her that speaks directly alot of the electorate. She did not take the conventional roll of being married to someone famous or a politician,or a millionaire. She started in the famous “Grassroots” that liberals put so much emphasis on. She worked for everything she has, as do her family. If there is no trail to be seen, they blaze a new one and the others follow.
Sarah Palin speaks more for the average person in America in values,work ethic, & monetarily.
Or are we to believe the Hawaiin born African-Kansas heritage Indonesian raised private schooled Ivy League Lawyer-Community Organizer who hasn’t won an election without getting opponents names tossed of the ballot until 2008, is who most Americans can understand?
Well?
portlandon on January 6, 2009 at 8:02 PM
They can trudge back to Rahm E. and David A. and report her Feydakin are still strong as ever and that the Hollow Man better stop focusing on the Cuda and start focusing on being an actual POTUS. There is big time problems coming this next term in Afghanistan, Iran nukes, Congressional corruption, the recession, unemployment, and once things bottom out a continuing weakening of the US Dollar.
She is so in those guys heads and she isn’t even trying to be there. Look at Benny and his infatuation with the woman’s family members.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 8:04 PM
I don’t know about the myth part, but I was able to see how awesome she is right away.
littleguy on January 6, 2009 at 8:06 PM
She is HEART & SOUL, period. Hey, nice campaign slogan. Better copyright it.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 8:07 PM
You’re kidding, right? I certainly don’t hate sarah… like most Democrats I consider her a godsend!
I consider sarah more than merely a great source of entertainment; as I have said repeatedly on these pages, we’re counting on her to run in 2012.
benny shakar on January 6, 2009 at 8:08 PM
As I am counting on you getting stomped by a moose. Wishful thinking but hey… it could happen :D
upinak on January 6, 2009 at 8:09 PM
I still can’t see how people don’t see it in the GOP camp, except for beltway elitists who think they should be makin all the decisions for us like we were Dems or something.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Sorry about the typos. I was typing fast. I’m still reading through the old comments. I can’t believe that no one pointing this out yet.
Truly did no one notice that Dan Fagan’s Alaska Standard, which Lisa Murkowski writes for, commissioned this poll? And did no one notice that Dan Fagan is the one who made a stink about Levi Johnston’s apprenticeship. And did anyone point out that Johnston has now left his apprenticeship and is working full time on his GED because of Fagan’s to-do about this. And has anyone pointed out that Johnston’s father has stated that he was the one who got his son the job, not the governor or anyone in the Palin family. The governor said that she wrote a letter of recommendation for Johnston, and that was it. I suppose some bonehead will claim that letters of recommendation are unethical!
And did anyone point out that ASRC is a private company. If they gave Johnston preferential treatment, that’s their business. But from the looks of it, they had a lot of positions open and were willing to train people. An Alaskan job site noted this about ASRC:
So, it would seem that they were more than willing to hire and train people like Johnston while he finished his GED. But now Johnston’s father says that “his son quit because of pressure he felt about having the ASRC job without having a high school diploma.”
Way to go, Fagan! Another person out of a job!
ramrocks on January 6, 2009 at 8:10 PM
Bunny Shaker, you are a sick person. She is not a fantasy you can just use for your “PURPOSES”. There is help for deviants like yourself.
http://www.saa-recovery.org/
portlandon on January 6, 2009 at 8:12 PM
I think she is dynamite entertainment too but for different reasons.
If you want her to run for the GOP because you think she is NOT dangerous vs. Hollow Man in 2012 then cheer FOR HER, not against her.
If I was paying you to make sure Sarah wins the GOP nomination, I’d fire you for malpractice.
If you want her to run, then why topple her down?
Oh, and I’ll just assume I was correct or close enough about the gay Seattlite prediction. It kinda ties together and does explain some of your comments.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 8:17 PM
Hey, Littleguy,
My reply is not to you but to the same one you replied too. I see what you see. She’s got great potential.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Oops! I should have known that you would have pointed this out right away. You rock, as always.
It’s just so glaringly obvious that I think you and I should just keep pointing it out in bold type over and over again.
FAGAN COMMISSIONED THIS STUPID POLL FOR HIS FRIEND LISA.
The destruction of Palin’s family and record is just disgusting. It’s gone on long enough. Now we must stand and fight back.
ramrocks on January 6, 2009 at 8:19 PM
That’s what is so weird. I don’t remember any veep candidate who was not elected who incited so much ire and so many lies.
INC on January 6, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Hey, what can I do. Sit back and watch Allah make a fool of himself… which he did. And show how many buttholes are actually in Alaska. BTW Dan Fagan use to be a News Broadcaster for Channel 2… before they booted him out, even though he says he quit because he got a good radio show. **rolls eyes**
You did more of the research.. I knew the background but wanted others to look it up… i.e. Benny. Who of course doesn’t and won’t… what a concept there huh.
upinak on January 6, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Yep. Personally, I don’t require perfection from a candidate. Everyone has faults, but not everyone is a natural like Palin.
littleguy on January 6, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Opps… Channel 2 is KTUU…. small world how weird it works. I think he fit in perfectly there, since he is such a freaking loser.
upinak on January 6, 2009 at 8:24 PM
upinak mentioned it on the first page, however, it bears repeating.
I’ve seen threads where some fact is brought out to refute a lie, but then the same lie will be repeated a few more times as if nothing had been said.
INC on January 6, 2009 at 8:25 PM
I believe Bill McAllister is from KTUU as well
who I am no big fan of …
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 8:26 PM
BY SQUEEZING OUT OTHER PEOPLE’S BABIES!
SouthernGent on January 6, 2009 at 8:29 PM
Americans or at least some trolls on HA are such ignorant misogynist dumbasses.
The stories about Sarah Palin brought up by the MSM in the US if brought up by the MSM in Australia about an Australian female politician wouldn’t even last 24 hours.
/sarc
Crux Australis on January 6, 2009 at 8:31 PM
You know, I’m beginning to wonder if the Hate Palin crowd doesn’t have a problem with women. Perhaps its a Freudian thing or something. So much lashing out; so much repressed rage. Very sad.
littleguy on January 6, 2009 at 8:31 PM
That’s because there’s never been a VP candidate quite like her…If you know what I’m saying.
therightwinger on January 6, 2009 at 8:32 PM
Hey, Palin used to work for KTUU also! She was the weekend sportscaster.
ramrocks on January 6, 2009 at 8:33 PM
You remember those photos of Palin visiting some wounded soldiers in the hospital? I do.
If I was one of those soldiers, I would have been cynical figuring she is just photo-opting and using me for politics. But she is the type that after talking to you and exuding sincerity and feelings and just by being there as an American woman, I’d have somehow hobbled up, limped to the recruiting office and tried to reenlist. Of course, she’d probably get me back to the bed and tell me I did my part and my sacrifice is appreciated. That’s the type of person she is. You just oozes sincerity and an American femininity and the ability to convince you she has a servant’s heart despite her ambitions. She actually believes her job is to serve the people.
Sapwolf on January 6, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Probably feel weak when faced with a powerful and attractive woman
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Hey, Gang. I’m back. Looks like Benny’s on his own around here.
Hey, Benny, for shear entertainment value nothing beats what’s going on concerning Barry’s vacant Senate seat, not to mention the Richardson and Panetta “distractions”.
kingsjester on January 6, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Oops. Spoke too soon. PDS is alive and well and in need of severe medication.
kingsjester on January 6, 2009 at 8:36 PM
yeah but McAllister:
non valde perspicuus
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 8:37 PM
She made the campaign look bad by comparison to well she looked (and no I’m not talking about that type of ‘looks’).
kcewa on January 6, 2009 at 8:38 PM
how ‘well’ she looked I mean.
kcewa on January 6, 2009 at 8:40 PM
Perhaps she makes them feel inadequate or just unnerved by her good looks. The combination of beauty and strength like that is psychologically an interesting mix. I don’t think the reaction to her would have been quite as intense (or at least not in the same way) if she had looked more like Janet Napoletano.
ramrocks on January 6, 2009 at 8:40 PM
460 odd posts for Cuda is now ‘beached.’ Cognitive dissonance personified.
technopeasant on January 6, 2009 at 8:42 PM
Oh my, McCain is yesterdays news, Team Sarah has 63000+ members, there is a weekly radio show devoted to Sarah and Sarah is still #1 in the hearts and minds of the base. What am I missing here–that she can’t possibly win a Senate race in 2010 that she probably won’t run in anyway. Hypothetical on steroids.
technopeasant on January 6, 2009 at 8:45 PM
and I bet that at least half of the 63,000 will be ready to volunteer/donate money tomorrow
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 8:47 PM
Her life story, and the values that it represents, make them feel guilty about their own life. They try to tear her down to make the guilty feelings go away.
kcewa on January 6, 2009 at 8:50 PM
You’re kidding, right? I certainly don’t hate sarah… like most Democrats I consider her a godsend!
benny shakar on January 6, 2009 at 8:08 PM
Except that there’s a mental institution missing its patient about the same time a restraining order is being filed in AK.
chunderroad on January 6, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Or perhaps we just think she’s a lightweight, and don’t understand her appeal. That, and the fact that I hope she isn’t the 2012 nominee. That’d be embarassing.
therightwinger on January 6, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Poll or no poll, good or bad, it is time to fight for the principles we believe in. We may have to do it the Palin way by taking down some in our own party first.
No more licking our wounds, the game is on for 2010.
PS. I do not think Palin should run for senate either. Run for governor.
kcarpenter on January 6, 2009 at 8:51 PM
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 8:47 PM
How about 100% when Obama assumes power and begins to destroy the American economy, begins to dismantle the Constitution and begins an all-out attack on evangelical Christians.
technopeasant on January 6, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Not that my life is any better than the haters – but I was raised to admire people who lived good lives, not hate them.

He just put up a new Palin thread.

Anyone that cannot name a newspaper they read should not be president.
Sarah Palin Can’t Name a Newspaper She Reads (Video)
Poptech on January 6, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Surf around YouTube and you’ll find dozens of these little videos that ordinary people took of her. She has the personal touch and relates to ordinary people as only an ordinary person could. Like this video taken by a lady who got Palin to record a personal message to her little son. Or just see here, here, or here. That last one is my favorite. If you look next to the video, you’ll see the link to the article that the young gal wrote about it, which was published in the local Wasilla newspaper.
ramrocks on January 6, 2009 at 9:09 PM
From McClatchy Watch:
McClatchy scrutinized Levi Johnston more than Bill Richardson
For those who despise the Anchorage Daily News, McClatchy Watch is a great blog – be sure to vote for it as the Best Up and Coming Blog.
Jim62sch on January 6, 2009 at 9:13 PM
anybody who freezes up as bad as Reagan in the first 84 debate should never be president
and have you read “Sarah” by Kaylene Johnson poptart?
joey24007 on January 6, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Poptech, the newspaper stuff is getting really old and tiresome. It’s been debunked a gajillion times, and you know it. Just stop, please.
Jim62sch on January 6, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Yeah, it’s especially refreshing with every Democratic politician getting busted for pay-to-play corruption. I have no fear that Sarah will ever be busted for any kind of pay-to-play. None, nada, zero, zip – a woman of incredible integrity.
Jim62sch on January 6, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Then vote against her in the primary and if that doesn’t work vote against her in the election. See how easy! What do you hope to gain by coming to this site and opining about the embarrassment that is Sarah Palin? Here, you have her die hard supporters, those who think she has honest potential and loons that pretend that they can’t stand her but are obviously afraid of her. If they weren’t they wouldn’t work so hard to keep this garbage going at a time in history when nothing is at stake.
Cindy Munford on January 6, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Boy, when I was 10 I wrote down on a history exam that Clement Attlee was PM of Britain during WWII (it was Churchill.) So I am to be branded a total idiot regarding Churchill. British history and WWII history (I’m not by the way.) Does anybody, even the Obama morons out there really believe that a governor of an American state does not know which newspapers she reads, that she never reads newspapers or periodicals at all, or that she is totally illiterate. Poptech, Sarah Palin is a college graduate. In the ultimate definition of ‘absurd’ your suggestion that Sarah is a moron is absurd to the nth degree.
technopeasant on January 6, 2009 at 9:18 PM
This just makes the fact that she was completely stumped by a simple question that much more hilarious! :o)
benny shakar on January 6, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Techno, Poptech thinks that cow colleges like Eureka College and Idaho State don’t count. People who come from those institutions could never be good presidents!
Jim62sch on January 6, 2009 at 9:28 PM
What do you mean, stumped? How many times does this have to be debunked for you, benny stalker?
Jim62sch on January 6, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Again let’s nominate Levi Johnston for not only public enemy #1 in America but why not the world. When the world is inhabited by such great moral humanitarians as Ayres, Khalidi, Wright, Rezko and Odinga, Levi has no competition to be put on such a pedestal. Sarah, you should be so fortunate to have a future son-in-law who is held in such high regard by the MSM, Marxists and the nutroots. All devil-worshippers unite behind Levi-he’s a high-school ‘dropout’-my god he’s the next Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele. Hallejuah.

No it hasn’t. A bunch of Palin fanboys tried to make weak excuses for the obvious.
Oh yes she is a college graduate! LMAO!

Your point? Are you disparaging the schools or the length of time? And why do you care?
Cindy Munford on January 6, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Like you know like we cannot you know have you know Harvard degrees you know like umm Caroline Kennedy. Like you know like some people like just do not like you know have like the family connections like you know Caroline Kennedy like you know has. Like only like rich people like Caroline Kennedy should like you know be able to like run for office. We like should not you know let like self-made blue collar riffraff like Sarah Palin like run for office… OMIGOD!!! Like EWW!!

Caroline Kennedy is a joke Candidate. You are confused, I voted for Bob Barr, Bush twice before that and Perot twice before that I am not a Democrat and have never voted for one in my life.
Poptech on January 6, 2009 at 10:47 PM
Palin is better as Prez…..Governor then President.
She should follow the Reagan/GW bush model……

Damn, PopTech, you have to bring your NewsBusters rants over here and annoy my friends at HA, too.
Don’t you ever give up?
Dave R. on January 6, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Poptech doesn’t realize that Sarah Palin went to so many schools because she couldn’t afford an Ivy League school.
Of course she could have had a full ride at any college and have all the credentials of an intellectual if she was a person of color, lesbian, handicapped, brown noser. Somehow I think Governor Palin pays as she goes is better for it. My wife still owes $40,000 with student loans for her masters degree from a private school. I owe $0 and paid as I went, through 3 schools and 5 years and have a masters. I chose the Palin path. Can’t say I regret it.

Hmm, we should obviously line up behind you due to your preternatural ability to pick winning candidates.
Jim62sch on January 6, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Why the fuss about the colleges all the time? She had relatives in Honolulu. Her brother was a running back for the University of Idaho. How is it funny or even odd at all that she would want to transfer?
littleguy on January 6, 2009 at 11:09 PM
Poptech, the newspaper stuff is getting really old and tiresome. It’s been debunked a gajillion times, and you know it. Just stop, please.

Poptech, Sarah Palin is a college graduate. In the ultimate definition of ‘absurd’ your suggestion that Sarah is a moron is absurd to the nth degree.

Judas Priest Poptech!!!
Why are you over here annoying the fine folks at Hot Air with your PDS? Has it sunk in that the majority of the posters at Newsbusters find you an annoying bore and now you have to inflict your drivel over here?
Leave these poor people be for crying out loud!!!

Fiscal Conservatives, do not be bullied or intimidated by the Palin Mafia. It is ok to find her unqualified, inexperienced and wrong on important issues.

Governor Palin is supremely competent, in the current political climate, to hold any position of public office including the presidency.
Give her time to develop. She will be a powerhouse. She has more guts that the metroseuxal beltway latte drinkers in power who are leaches on society.
Geochelone on January 6, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Dude. It is ok, but you’re just wrong.
littleguy on January 6, 2009 at 11:20 PM
Face it Poptech, everyone see’s that you are delusional when it comes to Gov. Palin. Stick with your posts on AGW and the bailouts.
Scuba Dude on January 6, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Well, based on your logic, Caroline Kennedy should get a Senate seat because she graduated from Harvard. Of course, both Princess Caroline and your homeboy Mittens had the money and famous daddies, which helped them get into an ivy-covered school and pay for it. Sarah had neither of those advantages. I think that she’s done quite well for herself without them. Frankly, I admire self-made people like Palin more than I admire Princess Caroline and Mittens, because Sarah had to actually work for everything she has.
