    Have Never:

    1. Met many Alaskans
    2. Traveled in Alaska in the Winter
    3. Understood the Alaskan Mindset

    Alaskans are different! Alaskans are some of the most fiercely independent folks in the world! Alaskans are tough and have carved out a life and a livelihood in a climate that would send most of us packing to South Florida.

    If you visit Alaska and get to know the people there and then Visit Washington, D.C. and get to know the people there you will see the vast difference and understand why this lady is taken way too lightly by most people.

    Yeah, Mrs. Palin showed real toughness in sticking it out through her whole term as governor of Alaska. Oops! That's right. She didn't.

    I think I'll not fall in line behind the half-term governor.

    She's taken lightly because she is a joke. The way she has conducted herself has not helped her one bit.

    So she's supposed to be like all other politico's in order to get considered?

    By whose standard is she a joke?

    I'm not saying she should be like all other politicians. I'm saying she should conduct herself in a more dignified manner.

    Everything Palin does these days is politically motivated. She pops up and has a knee jerk reaction to this or that, and her motivation is to put her name out there for all to see. There's an element to Palin that is just fake and many people see that and rightly discount her. Take that book for example. Going rogue? Really.

    Palin is a joke.

    Watch out man...the Palin supporters around here are about as rabid as the Rick Warren supporters. Seems to be two different groups of people, but both worship their leader.

    I am a right winger.
    I grew up in washington dc... a bear wouldn't stand a chance in SE.

    I have also traveled in Alaska. The people there are tough.

    But to decide whether someone is capable to govern because they are from a specific state is really comparing apples to zebras. You could say the same thing about President Obama because he learned his politics in Chicago where politics are a contact sport.

    So it's by your standards that she is judged. Thought so.

    Tom,

    Read the OP. I didn't say she was capable of being President of the US, I said some people are taking her way too lightly.

    You are correct. I was wrong.

    The leftists both here and elsewhere don't take anyone seriously who doesn't conform. But she still hasn't convinced me.

    She has quit every job she has had as an adult before the term ended. Great recommendation for a president. When the going gets touch Sarah quits.

    Obama quit his job as Senator to run for President.

    Do you think the same of him?

    BTW - your constant anti-Palin threads cause me to think that you may be a misogynist.

    She is taken as a light weight because that is what she is. A complete conservative media creation.
