“too bad he didn’t let the Lt Gov run, the GOP could have held the seat.”

Lt. Gov. Parnell ran for Don Young’s house seat in the primary. Sarah came out for him but didn’t do any follow-through campaigning. Parnell is really lack-luster and lost to Young who retained his seat in the general. Alaska’s a mess. We have no conservative/Republican leadership here—and unfortunately that includes Sarah.

The biggest problem with these guys who hang on to their seat forever, whether AK or elsewhere, is that no new, younger leaders are being developed. Any good young conservative Republican can surely identify with Prince Chaz.

I really am concerned that the US is turning into its own kind of royalty. We don’t have citizen-legislators, we have lifers. In NY they’re talking about who would succeed Hillary, and the names seem to be Kennedy or Cuomo.

Sarah isn’t conservative? Well that is news to everyone here, and the media as well!

I'll take Gov Palin over any of the guys that run for president this year, any day. Pence is a great guy, but he just couldn't get generate much support. Gov Palin generated oodles of support, and wild enthusiasm from Republicans and conservatives everywhere she went.

Who do you consider a conservative if not Sarah Palin?
