To the person that is critical of her education… Obviously you are a well spoken person… Just not a person with my same belief’s.

I do believe that the US is going to be a more socialistic and GODLESS over the next 4 yrs. This race was only won by 4%. I would like to close my eyes and wake up 4ys from now and be able to elect a real conservative into the presidential position. I would like to emphasize the work conservative not necessarily republican.

I just hope that there is not too many long lasting decisions made over the next 2 yrs, and that the republicans can re-gain their conservative position and win back one or both of the houses of congress. At least that would put on the brakes with what I dreed.

Good luck to all of us here in the US – my predication is as follows: Obama and the liberal congress will raise taxes on more than just those making over 250k per year. Remember that the tax increase covered federal income, medicare, cap gains, and dividend taxes… Those in that 250k and over category will have over 95k avg per person or family in this category to make up in order for this mass give away of income to occur. Once this happens it will affect peoples decision in regard to small businesses and the stock market… There will be less investment in the stock market and less expansion of small business. In fact I believe that there will be layoffs in the small business sector. I do not believe that these jobs will be replaced, but if they are they will be by smaller weaker companies than the ones they were laid off from.

Obvioulsly I believe this will lead to a longer term economic down turn.

This is a direct opposite plan to what Reagan implemented that worked and turned the economy around.

You learn from the past!

Good Luck,

I moved to Alaska in 2004 and have learned many truths about Alaska, most of them requiring a good deal more tolerance and acceptance than I would have thought possible. One can clean them up to appear civilized, but appearances are deceiving, as was discovered with Sarah. However, a bigger shock might be the level of her knowledge as a college graduate from Idaho. “This” is a college graduate from ANY college?

I would like to believe that the voters would have turned Stevens out of office after his conviction; however, he has a long history of championing the “little people.” Many of his earmarks were aimed at helping Native Alaskans in the villages — people who live with hardships that only can be believed if one has had similar experiences.

Many voters knew the “shack” that Stevens called home for years. Even the remodeled version is fairly simplistic housing by anyone’s standards. He’s a highly sympathetic figure. Remember, his stutter is lifelong, yet was overlooked by the voters up here. Few believe that he was in office for personal gain. I don’t. I think that if one reviewed financial records, he’d come in after a lifetime of service within the bottom 5 Senators.

In 2004, two laws were passed due to the uproar of Lisa Murkowski’s appointment to the Senate by her father–one by the legislature and one by the voters. A judge will likely have to determine which is the more viable law–but both require an election rather than an appointment for the term of office.

I tend to agree with you that if she were to run at this time, she’s lost most of her political capital within the state. Too many new things have been disclosed which would devastate her campaign. I also think she’s worn out right now and needs a time to regenerate her spirit. Mark Begich may yet pull out this election. If not, he stands the best to be able to capitalize on a new election.

Personally, I don’t think
