OT- Governor Palin will resign July 25, 2009.

Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002. The home was built just two months before Palin began campaigning for governor, a job which would have provided her enhanced power to grant building contracts in the wide-open state.

SBS has close ties to the Palins. The company has not only sponsored Todd Palin’s snowmobile team, according to the Village Voice’s Wayne Barrett, it hired Sarah Palin to do a statewide television commercial in 2004.

Though Todd Palin told Fox News he built his Lake Lucille home with the help of a few “buddies,” according to Barrett’s report, public records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house. While serving as mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin blocked an initiative that would have required the public filing of building permits—thus momentarily preventing the revelation of such suspicious information.

Just months before Palin left city hall to campaign for governor, she awarded a contract to SBS to help build the $13 million Wasilla Sports Complex. The most expensive building project in Wasilla history, the complex cost the city an additional $1.3 million in legal fees and threw it into severe long-term debt. For SBS, however, the bloated and bungled project was a cash cow.[/quote]

OCR: This seems to be the most plausible explanation. If I recall correctly, Palin was dogged by these type murmurings during the campaign.

Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota has announced he won’t be back in his state role in order to focus on a presidential run in 2012. I would think Pawlenty, Huckabee and Romney will be the presumptive heirs to the Republican crown, and I doubt anyone would consider Palin a serious front runner against that field.

It was a joke! Hatfield knows a little girl like that is not pregnant.

Just like “Kenyan community organizer” was a joke…none of the central figures in the current political arena organized communities in Kenya. :O)

[quote=luchabee][quote=flu][quote=North15]Democrats and liberals are terrified of Palin. Constant attempt to package her as a joke in an attempt to discredit her and her message. Same tactic as used on Reagan and Bush.

If her conservative politics were not a threat, the opposition would not give her the time of day. Quite the opposite is happening.

As die-hard conservative, I’ll have to agree with Flu on this one. She is so battered and damaged that she can’t be any good to anyone. She should have stayed as governor. If she can get a TV show, more power to her, but I’d never watch.

President? She’s got no chance . . .

If she has no chance, is so battered and damaged and of no good to anyone, why is she getting so much attention? What is it about Sarah Palin that attracts this level of scrutiny? What are liberals afraid of?
