Can you be called a "successful governor" when you quit halfway through your first term? I don't know how many people are going to find that a compelling argument, but I'm guessing it won't be enough to win a general election.

Back at it again, I see.

You're going to get banned, you know. According to Jim Roblinson, "FreeRepublic is Palin Country," and it's only a matter of time before your irrational hatred makes you cross the line. Personally, I can't wait.

You sure can. When you accomplish more than most Governors do in less time, you are successful. Highly successful. When you leave your state with a huge surplus of money,in the billions, while 48 others are in the red and begging for Federal stimulus money, you are successful.Just on this issue alone anyone would admit her administration was highly successful. All anyone has to do is take a look at her long list of accomplishments as Governor to see just how successful she was.

I’d put her accomplishments as Governor up against any of the pretenders running against her.
