If she has a future in politics it will be as an object lesson: ambition for high office isn't enough. Some knowledge is required, as is some political savvy. She doesn't seem to be learning either.
As much as the left ridicule Governor Palin, they deeply fear her, and are already setting stage for 2012. Whether or not she'll ever run for president she has a mystique and quality that energizes Republicans and Conservatives like they haven't been able to for some time now and the lefties won't stand for that so their primal bully reflex goes into action.
Report: Health Industry Employing Hundreds of Ex-Gov. Officials
July 06, 2009 / http://tinyurl.com/nyx3t6
Here in the United States, the Washington Post is reporting the nation’s heath care industry has hired more than 350 former government officials and members of Congress to sway health care reform efforts on Capital Hill. According to lobbying records, three out of every four major health care companies have at least one former government insider on the payroll. Nearly half held positions under key committees and lawmakers including Senators Max Baucus and Charles Grassley. Bacaus is chair of the Senate Finance Committee which is largely steering health care reform efforts. Baucus’s aides recently held a meeting with a group of lobbyists that included two of his former chiefs of staff. The Washington Post says the health care industry is now spending $1.4 million dollars a day on lobbying, totaling $126 million dollars in the first fiscal quarter.
