Plus, he had little more experience than Palin, but all the Democratic media pretends that they don't like her because of experience. <BR/><BR/>If you don't like Republicans because they're Republicans, why not say so?Mitchell Langberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722335216553899790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-91871193251446422892008-08-31T14:32:00.000-04:002008-08-31T14:32:00.000-04:00To paraphrase "I've read about Teddy Roosevelt, Se...To paraphrase "I've read about Teddy Roosevelt, Senator McBush, and let me tell you: Governor Palin is no Teddy Roosevelt."<BR/><BR/>Read what Alaskans are saying, now that they've gotten over the initial shock and disbelief over Palin's selection:<BR/><BR/>A reporter for the Anchorage daily, Gregg Erickson, even did an online chat with the Washington Post, in which he revealed that Palin's approval rating in the state was not the much-touted 80%, but 65% and sinking -- and that among journalists who followed her it might be in the "teens."
