| #12 Indeed, DMFD. That's the kind of audacity we've been hoping for (and desperately needing). |

| #11 Cutting spending when revenue drops? Clearly she's not prepared for national politics! |

| #10 with that mind set of perrsonal responsibility and the gov't isn't the anser to all problems, do you really think she will have a chance after 4 years of everybody sucking at Bambi's tit? |

| #9 I'm sure the reporter asked the question so they could get the reasonable answer they did and spin it unreasonably as they did. |

| #8 Why does anyone responsible even speculate about this now? We have 4 years of hard times coming, plus the end of the damned Mayan calendar on Dec 21, 2012. Come on, get real. |

| #7 I think what he was saying was that it was too early to throw his support for the nomination to anybody. But it nonetheless is time for him to head to the barn and I would not be surprised to see the Aridzona trunks send him there next chance. |

| #6 When asked the other day, McCain said something to the effect that "he could not support Palin in 2012." I'd take that as an admission that he picked the wrong running mate. Ima thinkin it might be time for Mac to take it to the barn. |

| #5 Gotta love Palin. If nothing else she certainly has the right enemies. |

| #4 I know how you feel, remoteman. I get this every time we visit our in-laws. They expect me to swallow everything they say hook, line and sinker. But when I try a little bit of civil, well reasoned discourse with them they flip out. Brother-in-law really, seriously did NOT want to hear about the CRA or Bawney Fwank. Palin would have a very tough time with the California legislature but then, so has Arnold. Maybe they're a little more responsible in Alaska. |

| #3 Had dinner in San Francisco last night with a group of libs. We were speaking a bit of politics and I mentioned that I thought Palin had been savaged by the press. The mere mention of her name sent one guy's blood pressure through the roof. It was actually rather funny to watch. The steak was overdone and tough, but the mashed taters and asparagus were good. |

| #2 We don't want any Alaskans to assume that government is the answer to all of the challenges and issues and problems that any individual faces. I sure hope she runs in '12. |

| #1 Spending less when revenues are down? What a radical idea. |
