If Sarah Palin is such a remarkable governer....?

Question

why hasnt anyone heard of her until now?

Answer 1

Can you name the governors of big states like Illinois, Florida, Texas, New York etc.? Chances are you cannot, even though some may have excellent governors. Why would Alaska be an exception? It is a state of a half a million people. Plus, you can't deny that she is a good governor. It's not like the statistics are being made up. When 85% of a state says that the governor is doing a good job, she probably is.  

Answer 2

I don't think so...She is the governor of Alaska, the state that has more wildlife than people.

I think just because she is a great leader doesn't mean she is up to the job.

The reason why people have not heard of her that much because Alaska isn't that populated. And I don't think she is up to the job.

Obama/Palin  

Answer 3

Everybody has heard of her...she was the runner up to the Miss Alaska pageant.

Do you mean to tell me that you don't think it is remarkable that an aspiring beauty queen who believes in creationism and is being investigated for corruption, with a sinfully pregnant s**t for a daughter ends up as #2 on the Republican presidential ticket?

Where the h**l have you been? Get with the times. Read the news once in a while!

Answer 4

Her state gives her an 80% popularity---the highest popularity rating of any current governor.

As Rob said, have you heard of every remarkable person.

Well she is one you've heard about NOW!

Answer 5

She is a repressed, insecure, person...hunting from a plane...great sport..the very kind of parent whose kids rebel and become pregnant

Answer 6

Experience doesn't matter unless you a democrat and your black.

I'm young, white, female, hot. Who needs experience. Thats what

McCain told me. He just wants to win at all cost,.

Answer 7

Because few people pay attention to State governors - unless they get caught doing something really bad like New York's Democratic Gov Spitzer or Louisiana's Democratic Gov. Blanco who screwed up Katrina. Her successor, GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal did a great job on Gustav.

CA. Gov Scwarteneger was a celebrity before he got elected.

How many governors can you name?

Maybe more right now because several were mentioned as possible VP choices for either Obama or McCain but realistically, most people can't name anybody but their own State's governor.  Some people can't even do that.

Pop quiz:  Name the governors of Texas, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington State, Mississippi, and Hawaii.

They've all been in the news.

Answer 8

Just because you don't pay attention doesn't mean that no one's heard of her. Conservative circles were talking about her as soon as McCain sewed up the nomination during the primaries. Remember, no one heard of Obama before the '04 democratic convention. And a year later, he announced for the presidency.

Answer 9

I've heard of her.

However, most people don't pay attention to politics at that level. Likely, the only governors most people can name today are Palin, Arnold, and their own.

Answer 10

Do you think you have heard of every remarkable person out there?

Answer 11

Alaska maybe the largest state in America but it has the population of just a city like Austin, Texas. She is an attractive lady and in the frontier like Alaska I guess looks are key for approval.

Answer 12

well, governors are executive heads of states, which has a whole lot to do with their own state and not really much at all to do with national politics

plus, i can bearly remember who my own governor is, and i wouldn't be able to tell you even one governor from a neighboring state

Answer 13

No one ever heard of Obama till he ran.  Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
