"About the Governor

"Governor Sarah Palin made history on Dec. 4, 2006, when she took office. As the 11th governor of Alaska, she is the first woman to hold the office.

"Since taking office, her top priorities have been resource development, education and workforce development, public health and safety, and transportation and infrastructure development.

"Under her leadership, Alaska invested $5 billion in state savings, overhauled education funding, and implemented the Senior Benefits Program that provides support for low-income older Alaskans.

"She created Alaska's Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to provide oversight and maintenance of oil and gas equipment, facilities and infrastructure, and the Climate Change Subcabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for Alaska.

"During her first legislative session, Governor Palin's administration passed two major pieces of legislation -- an overhaul of the state's ethics laws and a competitive process to construct a gas pipeline.

"Governor Palin is chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a multi-state government agency that promotes the conservation and efficient recovery of domestic oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment.

"She was recently named chair of the National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee, which is charged with pursuing legislation to ensure state needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture, energy, environmental protection and natural resource management. Prior to being named to this position, she served as co-chair of this committee.

"Prior to her election as governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as the mayor/manager of Wasilla. During her tenure, she reduced property tax levels while increasing services and made Wasilla a business friendly environment, drawing in new industry.

"She has served as chair of the Alaska Conservation Commission, which regulates Alaska's most valuable non-renewable resources: oil and gas. She was elected by her peers to serve as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. In this role, she worked with local, state and federal officials to promote solutions to the needs of Alaska's communities.

"Sarah Heath Palin arrived in Alaska with her family in 1964, when her parents came to teach school in Skagway. She received a bachelor of science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987. Palin, who graduated from Wasilla High School in 1982, has lived in Skagway, Eagle River and Wasilla.

"She is married to Todd Palin, who is a lifelong Alaskan, a production operator on the North Slope and a four-time champion of the Iron Dog, the world's longest snowmachine race.

"Todd and Sarah fish in Bristol Bay with their children -- Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig. Through Todd's Yup'ik grandmother, Alaska's Native heritage plays an important role in their family. Track enlisted in the U.S. Army on Sept. 11, 2007.

"Prior to taking office, Palin served on numerous boards and commissions throughout the state. She was active in her family's pursuits -- including serving as a sports team mom and school volunteer. She also runs marathons.

"Palin is a lifetime member of the NRA and enjoys hunting, fishing, Alaska history, and all that Alaska's great outdoors has to offer.

"Todd Palin and Scott Davis, team 22, cross the finish line in Fairbanks on Feb. 17, 2007 to win the 2,000-mile Tesoro Iron Dog. Palin has won the world's longest snowmachine race four times."

This thread is garbage

Fox propaganda

[moscowom]

Pitbull Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which promoted Alaska secceding from the rest of the US of A. That's always putting country first?

This video is nice campaign propaganda, which is what it should be looked at as: spinning a VP candidate qho is afraid to meet with the press (it looks like the pitbull is feeling scared) in a way that is complementary of Palin, but leaves all kinds of questions unanswered.

If you want a right-wing theocracy, Palin is your pitbull.

Sarah Palin is a LIAR and a FRAUD.

We know, Sarah. We know.

That is very very far from being the largest infrastructure project in North America. It is the largest in Alaska, and many other states, but compares nothing to >$100 Billion dollar infrastructure projects that have passed in the Alberta Oil Sands. Also Nuclear power stations start around $75 Billion. She really hasn't accomplished much, Mel Gibson is still a bigger Maverick then her.

This is like......so sappy. She might be a nice lady, a good neighbor. But that is about as far as it can go.

Palin vetoed more local projects than any other governor in the state's history. She cut ~10% of Alaska's budget, saving $268 million. She vetoed a $30,000 van for Campfire USA and a $200,000 tennis court. She justified these cuts by stating . . . "not a state responsibility."

In addition, she is the ONE in charge of a $30 BILLION pipeline bidding project - possibly the largest single infrastucture project in all of North America - ever. That requires real talent - not just talk.

"The Palin's are a busy clan" irresponsibly poppling out babies and withholding valuable birth control information...thus causing more irresponsible popping out of babies. I can't wait to hear if the Track Palin vandalism case is true and that's why he's off to Iraq...

[paxeamore]

Wanting to BE a man who's a MILF is NOT being a liberated woman. How long 'til Cindy McCain gets po'd about all the time Johnny's spending w/ her? Back to the trailer park, Sarah!
