After spending time on message/bulletin boards this weekend..

seems EVERYONE refers to Palin as "the most popular governor in the country". how is that tabulated? and as I stated in my last response to someone who used that line: Most Popular in the least populated state in the country?
the state that is riddled with corrupt politicians?
the state with the infamous Bridge to Nowhere?
the state that keeps electing Ted Stevens over and over??
THAT state? Grrrrr...

I now plan on referring to Obama as the most popular presidential candidate in history.
More people have attended his campaign stops than any other candidate...biggest audience for acceptance speech, etc...
hmmm.

2. Well, right now, she probably IS the most popular.

One week ago? Not so much.

5. It's In Comparison To The Other Crooks Who Ran That State

Murkowski, Ted "NO" Stevens, Don Young...the sleeze is deep and she benefitted cause she wasn't as dirty as they were. Or at least when the polls were taken.

I'm in a state where our Democratic governor is a total failure...and deserves to be removed...they could replace him with an android and it would get a 90% approval rating.

Cheers...

6. Bush had a very high approval rating at one time too. Now look at him.

Means nothing really.
