Sarah Palin was for the “Bridge to Nowhere” before she was against it.
Even after the decision was made not to build the bridge,
In addition to the Anchorage Daily News, here’s a link from CNN, and another to a Reuters article on Yahoo!
Oh, and speaking of news from
First, it’s coming to light that Sarah Palin, as mayor of Wasilla, was interested in the possibility of removing books from the town library, although the specific books she hoped to remove are unknown. When the head librarian stated emphatically that she was against the idea of removing books from the library, Sarah Palin tried – and failed – to fire her. Here’s another Anchorage Daily News article.
Second, the same article references a letter from a concerned Alaskan about Sarah Palin that is currently traveling through the blogosphere.
Third, the AP has a story that may or may not become more interesting. Evidently Sarah Palin switched colleges 6 times in 6 years.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions, but the conclusion at which I’m arriving is that there’s something strange, secretive, and unpredictable about Sarah Palin. We’ve had 8 years of a strange, secretive and unpredictable vice president. We don’t need 4 more.

And, if I may expand upon the theme, Sarah Palin also thinks that the U.S. is doing God's work in the war in Iraq, and that the natural gas pipeline she advocated (and got built) in Alaska was "God's will." I believe this was reported at washingtonpost.com, but I'm still looking for the link.
So, Chuck, you care to amend your previous statement that, in a contest between Hillary and Sarah, you'd vote Sarah?
In a contest between Hillary and Sarah I might punt and vote for Nader.
Those of you who've read Transmetropolitan will understand the following metaphor:
Sarah is The Beast. Hillary is The Smiler.
Sarah Palin believes in something. What she believes is very different, in many ways, from what I believe. Ultimately, though, she's comprehensible, and she's acting within a set of understandable - if not agreeable to me - beliefs.
Hillary will do anything, say anything, to be president. Realize this is my own subjective impression of her, but ultimately I don't really have any idea what Hillary actually believes. The only thing I'm certain she believes is that she believes she should be president.
Incidentally, McCain appears to have morphed from 2000 Maverick McCain into 2008 Smiler McCain. I won't be voting for McCain for the same reason that I won't be voting for Hillary.
