Maybe I'm just cynical, but how much does an 80% approval rating mean in a state that has more caribou and reindeer than human beings?
Actually quite a lot when you consider the importance of Alaska and the prominence it will have in our Union should we ever get off her asses and start working towards energy independence.
I'm sick of hearing this argument from Obama and the left that new exploration would take 10 years. Really? So that's the reason not to do it? You don't want to be better off in 10 years? That's too long? I don't know when it became more imporant to win than to work together as a country.
I know everyone's calling her a featherweight and all that, but you she already trumps Obama. She has actually done things... important things. She has not only talked about what she wanted to do, but she's done them. I spoke to our two oil anlysts for about 30 minutes yesterday and they know her abilities well. She's made significant positive changes to all aspects of the energy industry in Alaska.
If you actually listened to Obama's acceptance speech, you actually heard little. You can say anything, talk about everything, but tell me how you're going to do. That's the liberal way. Create a victim, then give them someone to point their finger at. Obama said we will be free from foreign oil in 10 years... that's quite a statement... I'm eager how he's going to do it. It reminds me very much of Kerry who must have said "I have a plan...." a million times yet never laid out details for one of them.
Obama's speech was spectacular. It was a spectical. It was inspiring to hear, but it said very little. It's a style vs substance thing. He's a showman, but sheep don't care. I'm not one of those. I demand a little more than talk. I'm a results driven person and I've seen very little from Obama.
Say what you want about our potential VP from Alaska, but if it came to it, I'd rather have her in the big chair than Obama any day.
