Palin is against alternative energy and it's about one thing and one thing only. It's called the PF, the Public Fund, the cash Alaskans get, personally, every year for the oil. She won because her short term solution that is in fact hurting all Americans gives each Alaskan a couple of thou every year. I heard this year it's up to $3000. I'm doing some research on it and will be posting more about this.Ellen Beth Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02437707135406101498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-46209340048613139812008-09-04T16:08:00.000-05:002008-09-04T16:08:00.000-05:00QCE, You have never commented directly to me on a...QCE,<BR/> You have never commented directly to me on anything on my blog before that I recall. Something sure must be stuck in your craw about this whole Sarah Palin thing. I think you rabid Republican partisans are feeling this race slip away from you and it is driving you crazy. You Republican true-believers can whoop and hollar all you want about how wonderful you think she is, but you and I both know that the only thing that matters is how she plays with the swing - undecided voters. And all the polls and focus groups show that those people are extremely unimpressed with Sarah Palin and the more partisan she is and the more you guys whoop and hollar in response to her insults, lies and mocking of Barack Obama the less the undecided like it. <BR/> This race is starting to look more and more to me like Barack Obama"s Senate race where the Republican opposition sort of self-destructed and just went away, leaving Obama the the winner by default.<BR/> <BR/>Your left-wing pal<BR/>DaveDave Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289405215433867162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-78189421897383894922008-09-04T16:07:00.000-05:002008-09-04T16:07:00.000-05:00My blogging buddy QCE of the QC Examiner blog emai...My blogging buddy QCE <BR/>of the <A HREF="http://qcexaminer.wordpress.com/" REL="nofollow">QC Examiner</A> blog emailed her comment on this post directly to me instead of posting it here.
