Palin does not have an 80% approval rating

[flowomo]

"Gregg Erickson, columnist and reporter for the Anchorage Daily News, took part in an online chat at www.washingtonpost.com. He expressed some rather mixed views about his governor....

"Her approval ratings are high -- 65 percent, or so -- but down from 80 percent earlier in her term. Most Alaskan's haven't watched her as closely as most reporters or legislators. If you took a poll of reporters and legislators I expect her approval rating would be down in the teens or twenties....

"It is clear that she has not paid much attention to the nitty-gritty unglamorous work of government, of gaining consensus, and making difficult compromises. She seems to be of the view that politics should be all rather simple. That often appeals to the wider public, but frustrates those who see themselves as laboring in the less glamorous parts of the vineyard."

How very Republican of her.

2. Bwhahaha... The media are on the hunt...as they should be.

Investigative mode now. Feeding frenzy soon. Watch. "Heartbeat Away" isn't going to know what hit her.
