wasilla high school has a 58% graduation rate and palin put her town in hock
and didn't spend money to improve the drop out rate? Palin was put there by some right wing anti-abortion nuts who helped her turn a local election into a pro-life referendum. She hired a lobbyist connected with abramoff to get money for her town. She did not spend that money on improving education and left a town that she inherited with a balanced budget with a $20 million deficit.

Heck of a job there, Sarah. Great executive experience. Makes GW look good.

4. and why dont the talking heads on our side
Talk about this. They let these puke freaks tout her vast experience over and over without pointing out how much her experience sucks.

I just don't understand it. Time in office does not = qualified or desirable.
