- she was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party - a group that is dedicated to having Alaska secede from the union
- here only real experience is 20 months as governor of a very small population state with no real fiscal problems because of oil revenues.
I really dont think mayor of a town of 9,000 should count as 'executive experience'.
- no foreign policy experience. Her state borders Russia, sure. Notice though how she never bothered to travel the fifty miles to the west to go there?
- we dont know her real relationship with Ted Stevens, the indicted Senator of Alaska - but it sounds like they were tight.
- the whole deal with the punitive firings of people - back to the librarian when she was mayor.
- she clearly wasnt vetted. There are probably more skeletons in the closet.
