Paul L. on Wednesday, 24 September 2008 at 10:22:52 AM, says: "I keep hearing that Palin was ONLY mayor of a town of 10,000, and ONLY a governor of a state of 1,000,000".
Paul, you can't even get your facts right. Alaska's estimated resident population in mid-2007 was only 683,478. It is unlikely to have reached 700,000 yet as the Year 2000 Census population figure was 626,932. And Wasilla doesn't have even have 10,000 people yet either. Its population at the Year 2000 Census was only 7,028 people, which means that for all of the time Sarah Palin was mayor it was a fly-speck of a community. Wasilla Facts (see http://www.cityofwasilla.com/index.aspx?page=49) show that it has a 6-person council with an annual budget today of only $12,695,563. In terms of places to be mayor of ... it's Podunkville! As for being the governor of Alaska, Paul L. states the following: "Palin understands what it is to be boss and being ultimately and solely responsible for decisions which affect large numbers of people". So how do you square her sense of 'responsibility' with her refusal to co-operate with the original investigation into Troopergate - the one which was approved unanimously by a majority Republican committee in the state legislature during the American summer, and which Palin initially welcomed in a spirit of transparency and accountability before she became the Republican Party's vice-presidential nominee.

Shocking Footage of Palin Praying With 'Witch Hunter"
Thomas Muthee, a Kenyan pastor gained fame within Pentecostal circles by claiming that he defeated a local witch, Mama Jane, in a great spiritual battle, thus liberating his town from sin and opening its people to the spirit of Jesus. He prayed over Palin and called upon Jesus to propel her into the governor's mansion and protect Palin from "the spirit of witchcraft." Muthee exclaimed, "We come against the spirit of witchcraft! We come against the python spirits!" Then, a local pastor took the mic from Muthee and added, "We stomp on the heads of the enemy!" Jim Bramlett wrote, "Sarah is that standard God has raised up to stop the flood. She has the anointing." http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/100149/shocking_footage_of_palin_praying_with_%27witch_hunter%27/ Savage Pencil, Sir Vivor, pray for Palin, pray to expel the bad spirit. "Hampra katamra! Remove the the evil from the .. hole!" Sorry sir I forgot the spell! On 2008 Palin run back of 'Witch Hunters"! She could drive us to the dark ages!

Maybe Sarah Palin and Joe Biden can do a VP debate on Friday? It looks like John McCain would rather fight another day. If Sarah is Presidential material, waiting in the wings, well then, win lose or draw, a televised debate would publicise her intellect and executive skills.
