However, she'll cut or refuse funds for families with children who have special needs in Alaksa. Hyprocisy at it's finest, once again, Sarah.

So she'll be focused on Alaska in June, but in April she'll be focused on campaigning? Isn't there a big ol' volcano spewin' ash and stuff all over Alaska right now? You betcha there is! But it's more important for everyone to realize Governor Palin is really, really, REALLY pro-life than for her to make sure the GIANT OIL RESERVOIRS at the base of the volcano don't blow up...don'cha know?

'Democrats Predict 210-Vote Victory for Murphy

by Jonathan Singer, Wed Apr 01, 2009 at 02:31:58 PM EST

Chris Cillizza has the details.

Venture capitalist Scott Murphy (D) will win the special election in New York's 20th district by 210 votes after all outstanding absentee and military ballots are counted, according to projections made by Democratic Party officials and obtained by the Fix.

The projections -- based off of the county performances by Murphy and state Assemblyman Jim Tedisco (R) on election night -- show the Democrat gaining 115 votes in Warren County, 96 votes in Columbia County and 70 votes in Washington County as well as scoring smaller gains in several other counties. Tedisco's only major gain, according to the model, will be in Saratoga County where he will net an additional 116 votes.

The Democratic projection puts the total number of absentee and military ballots at 5,584 with Murphy winning 2,864 and Tedisco taking 2,720. On election night, Murphy held a 65-vote lead -- 77,344 to 77,279.

Don't be surprised to see the Republicans fight tooth and nail in the hopes of wiggling their way on top of this election, much the same as they have for several months in Minnesota. Indeed, I wouldn't be shocked at all to see the GOP drag this process out even in the absence of evidence that they have a real shot at victory (again, as has been the case in Minnesota). But right now, with the initial tally favoring Democrat Scott Murphy and the projections not looking too dissimilar, the numbers suggest that there's a good chance that New York's 20th congressional district will stay in Democratic hands....'

HA !! HA !!

Suck on THAT !!!

It's only a GUESS !!!

I am sure the 2-days of vacation will be properly deducted from her accrued balance. The new scam is that executives get 4-6 weeks a year of vacation; but they never actually take it, so when they leave office - their vacation payout is essentially the size of a nice 'severance' package. But, I know Sarah would never take advantage of the good citizens of Alaska. She has adjusted those expense reports, right? and the per diems? While 'technically' allowable, not transparently reasonable now were they?

eagle1776 — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:23:21 GMT

Actually this is a smart move on the part of the Republicans. Let Sarah speak only on the one or two topics she knows anything about and only to a select group so she doesn't embarrass the whole party talking about stuff she is not able to intellegnely. That's just about everything. Throw her under the bus and she pops up again. It is like whack a mole. Eventually she'll get under one of the tires or the hammer will whack mole Sarah hard enough that she'll shut up and stay in Alaska, perhaps in a hermit's cabin just a little North East of Nome.

I admire a woman with both beauty and brains unfortunately Sarah has only the former and is lacking the latter. This stereotypes her (even though she is not a blonde).

Richard, Washington State — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:45:24 GMT

You mean she might actually campaign and be involved in political events EVEN WHILE SERVING IN ANOTHER OFFICE? She actually might eat, sleep and travel in the process? She might do this on money from donors and political action committees? Horrors!

Clara, Kansas City:

Union workers I have known have done the same with both vacation and sick leave. It's not a new "scam". In fact, when I retire, I'm going to end my career with vacation time, too. It's just a matter of timing.

As for perks of office? There is a reason the president is only paid a $400,000 salary. Book advances help, too, but they have to be received just before taking office, but apparently is OK just after being elected.

My guess is that his library plans are taking shape already and he will get eternal severance pay, just like the members of congress and senate, who get "career" benefits pretty much after abbreviated "careers". I rarely detect embarrassment or regret from any of these yahoos, Dem and Republican alike, Obama or otherwise. Arrogance is arrogance.

When Mr. Obama takes aim at his own litterbox, I'll pay some attention.

LB in FLA:

See above for further definitions of "opportunism", especially the presidential opportunities.

Not saying Obama is any different than previous presidents. In fact, that's the point.

But somehow, Obama can get away with his "Rezko" and Geithner's forgiveable mistake can be greater than any benefit Palin has received, but your eminent fairness chooses to rail at a successful woman whose net worth puts here right in there with a large portion of the middle class, Obama's purported friend.

Ironically, Obama came from the same type of modest background and has become politically successful.

And it's Palin who is dumb?

(Lest I sow confusion in simple minds, the line immediately above this sentence does not apply to Obama)

So keep using Palin, folks, to show where YOU really come from.

Palin attends a Right to Life dinner, something the libs abhore if they even know what it is.

Sarah ... good for you and thanks for upholding the Declaration for life and liberty.

Remember, Obama voted to snuff out a child's life when it was born after a botched abortion (3 times).
This is our fearless leader.

I'd be surprised if FR prints this. We'll see what happens here, right Mark?
================================
I know what a Right to Life dinner is and I have no problem with her attending. I'm personally pro-life but politically pro-choice. I would never tell my wife or girlfriend to get an abortion but I don't think it's up to the government to tell a thirteen year old girl whose father raped her that she's required to carry the baby to term. My problem is that her approval rating has dropped by 50% since she was named VP running mate. She has an erupting volcano, rampant unemployment, and she's willing to refuse funds for special needs children in the stimulus. But rather than actually govern, she wants to jet set to Indiana to appear at a fundraiser.

At this point, we can only say to her disadvantage, she speaks honestly, which often gets high profiie people in trouble quick.

Most people I know make mistakes, don't always speak properly or have some type of personal quirk.

The thing I think most people saw in Palin was she was trying to be honest, not say what people wanted to hear. That doesn't work well in US politics.

Unlike Obama and Biden who have back tracked many times on promises made and speeches delivered, and Biden being thrown under the bus by Obama and vice versa, saying what you feel typically keeps you on an honest path in life.

Personal attacks usually are a result of fear or jealousy in a person. Policy and political attacks seem most often founded in a difference of political opininon or philosophy.

She won't accept political engagements until after April 20, except for the 36-hr one April 16, because of the Alaskan legislature but the big GOP function is in June. You mean the organizers of the June meeting couldn't wait another couple weeks to get a speaker. Looks like somebody got dumped. No doubt Newt Gingrich had conversations with the GOP powers that be and convinced them that he's their man; or maybe it was Karl Rove. With luck, Rove will be in prison by 2012 along with the other crooks in the last administration. I hear Guantanamo will be available early next year.

It's hard to figure these moves by Palin and her apparently small group of handlers. She is staying as far away from moderates and any hint of becoming mainstream Washington fare.

Palin needs to understand that riding the wave of right wing extremist support only gets her so far within her own party (see; Mike Huckabee...), let alone winning the White House.
