After an extensive survey of Alaska's residents, Governor Sarah Palin was found to have an impressive 80% approval rating.
Let's see, that means she, her husband and her five children voted for
her along with one other unnamed voter while the two other contestants
in the "Miss Alaska" contest voted against her. Not bad. Then again,
there's always that competitive thing between beauty queens.
I've conducted an exhaustive poll in my house. Both my kids were
persuaded (bribed) to vote for me and of course I gave myself the
benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, my wife is an independent spirit
who, despite my best efforts, couldn't be influenced.
So, I have a 75% approval rating! That brings me 5% short of Palin's impressive rating in Alaska.
She MUST be a winner!
After ONE meeting with Palin, McBush chose her as his running mate.
ONE meeting?!?!? It has been reported in the media that his selection
was made after ONE meeting and one phone conversation with this
ultra-right-wing, female Dick Cheney. But let's give her credit for
being better than Cheney in that she's never shot a friend in the face
as far as we know.
The pundits on the right are blubbering over this selection. She's
obviously in line with ALL their views. She would vote today to
overturn Roe v. Wade, she's a "life member" of the NRA, she is the
perfect "MODEL" for the Evangelical Right. Five children, one whom is
in the army.
Her resume is impressive. She was voted Mayor of a town in Alaska with
a population similar to the residents of any neighborhood in any major
city. She was elected Governor of a state with a population of
636,932! Around 65% of that massive number are Republicans so... what
a surprise that a Republican was elected.
This selection by McBush is the clearest indication yet of his lack of
judgement. If the polls in the national election don't indicate a 5%
jump for Obama on this choice, I'll be surprised.
