I don't much like Palin these days, but I fail to see how she would be worse that Murky.
I never did like her much... Wild-eyed, strong willed mountain gals are a dime a dozen here... You can't hardly swing a dead cat without hitting one here... so I was pretty immune to what it was that drew everyone else... And oddly, I don't mind the bar fights and such that most folks find so awkward. A natural extension for me. That she would go all hell on wheels defending her own is pretty much expected.
No, it is that no matter where she went, somebody was paying more when she left. Add that to taxing profit and making taxes retroactive - Both HUGE no-nos in fiscal conservatism... Yeah... none for me thx.
As for McConnell, didn't he orchestrate the write-in candidacy for her when she lost the Primary to a TEA Partier? This news above should not be a surprise to anybody.
Yeah... But more to the point, her old man makes her near a shoo-in. And probably always will. Just the name recognition is tough to beat. OTOH, she DID get beat during the TEA uprising. SO it could happen again.
