1. maverick and beating an incumbent…Are you really this stupid? Murkowski, the former governor was extremely corrupt, purchased a $2.7 million jet with state money and appointed his daughter in his vacated senate seat. You would have to be an idiot NOT to run as a reformer against that track record. He came in third in his own party’s primary.
2. Palin governs a socialist state where everyone gets money back from the oil companies. Even crook Stevens was still a viable candidate even though it’s become quite apparent that he’s also a crook.
In short, the evidence of popularity and anti-establishment leanings as evidence of competence is a joke. By the way Obama’s arguments are similarly weak. Who wouldn’t run on an anti-Bush platform. After 8 years of corruption, nepotism, incompetenance and religous pandering, you are basically handed a script for the 2008 election. Unless of course, you are John McCain’s advisors – morons.
I hope you keep propping up Palin instead of Romney, Jindal, Hagel, or Coburn or any of the many serious, intellectuals on the right. Keep it real…real stupid.
