You're right. The things that came out of her mouth campaigning for McCain changed everything, but it didn't change her record of even-handedness (lack of partisanship) in doing her job as governor before that. The price of oil doesn't enter into it because people had just as much to grumble about then as they do now. It's just the state government's to-do list was a lot longer. As far as tools of the oil industry are concerned, let's remember what the repeal SB 21 campaign and the joint independent/democratic ticket in the governor's race was all about: getting the tool out of the governor's mansion.

I'm sure the one thing we can all agree on is that Sarah Palin's VP run was a disaster for everyone but comedians. 

Have a nice weekend.
