Hey Sarah? A Few Questions...

(Newser) – Glenn Thrush of Politico has some questions he’d love to ask the now outgoing governor of Alaska.

  • If you can’t take the negative publicity, personal attacks, and back-biting in Alaska, “how could you possibly handle running for president—much less being President?”
  • “How can you say you didn’t take a ‘quitter’s way out,’ when you just quit?”

  • Do you really think you’re doing a good job representing women here?
  • Can Alaska really be happy with where you’re leaving it? Your big gas pipeline deal could be big, but it’s still a work in progress.
  • Wouldn’t it have been easy to raise the $500,000 you’d need to fend off those pesky ethics complaints, considering you were the biggest fundraising draw in the GOP?

@ Greg - Yes, people shake their heads in disgust but that wasn't the case here. He said yes, but his body language said no. Like Rodney King proved, video cameras don't lie. @ anchower - I provided proof on VIDEO that It signifies (1) McCain doesn't believe in Palin and (2) he lied on national tv. At least I can respect Greg for giving a mature and thought out reply. Can I do the same for you? ABSOLUTELY ::shakes head back and fourth:: ps - it's obvious you're from NJ!

How I wish she would hop on her hubby's snowmobile and disappear into the Alaskan sunset, never ever to be seen or heard again.

One down. Guess it is time for the Obamagnats to go after Romney. Don't worry, the MSM will back you up.
