This woman is god awful ugly! surely this is a bad photo although the more recent one isn't much better. This is the kind of black woman that's dangerous because she “thinks” she has something to offer so Katie bar the door.

[TangoLimaSierra]

She was the calculating little woman trying to figure out how she was going to win the competition.

I'm sure this little woman did no calculating on how to win. It just happened.

[celtic gal]

It was racist don’t ya know..

[NormsRevenge]

Ms Palin’s career had in no way inspired her own political ambitions

—

says she’s a long serving activist and ‘mouthy’ kid..

Look out, MIchelle!

“The district is an iffy one.”

You are correct about “iffy”.
But back in the not-so-distant day, Cobb County gave us Larry McDonald.

McDonald was the only sitting member of Congress killed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War (flight 007).

She could eat a corn on the cob through a venetian blind.

This mouthy bunghole would be even more obscure than she is if not for her long ago proximity to, and affirmative action win over Palin.

I thought Scottie Pippin got a sex change

[patriot08]

We all know how this thing beat Sarah.

[Bahbah]

Yes, we do. I couldn’t resist the rhetorical question.

[patriot08]

:) Yep.

[Vaduz]

Miss Alaska in 1984 is setting her sights on her own political career.Nope sorry were just full up on our quota count try later.

Scoliosis???

Or Paris Hilton Disease (Oh look, a camera! Look at me, look at me)Sorta reminds me of someone else.

"Oh look a camera...er...Of course a camera they're here for ME"

She’s running in State House District 34, it’s GOP-held. I don’t expect her to win it, especially not in a year like this.

[Impy]

She sounds like a sore winner.

article: Democrats typically fare well in cities such as Atlanta, where she is standing in the 34th district.

The district is Smyrna-based, not Atlanta.

Black turnout must have been high in 2008 and that wasn't enough to beat the GOP incumbent.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

OK will I assumne that it will be perfectly proper and acceptable to use the fact that she is a former beauty queen to mock and ridicule her and to imply that since she was in a Miss Alaska contest that she therefore must be really really really stupid. Right? Lefties?
