While I doubt the price of oil will remain under $50, imagine it stays low for a few years.

I wonder what will happen to Palin's popularity when Alaska suffers from a recession.

palin's popularity will largely depend not on oil, but on how pretty she still is, and how retarded trig looks.

while this may appear to be callous on my part, i am serious on both counts.

If she becomes the embattled Palin, which will be the case if there is an Alaskan budget crisis, she won't be making any more appearances on the national scene.

Just think about Kathleen Blanco.

Funny how her battling the big oil company leads to Alaska having the highest avg gas prices in the country right now.

Todd better do better in the snow machine racing circuit..

I laughed but then realized this was a learning opportunity. So palin gets more popular if trig looks mo retarded or less retarded?

Cuz I could see where camera friendly would help. But then again I could also see where a drooling, wall-eyed, shlt rocket launcher could help the compassionate, family first clause.

we haven't been able to fully evaluate how retarded he is yet (he's mostly still in the "all babies look like this" stage). if he inspires an episode of robot chicken she may have a better chance next go around

ed: but yes, the more disadvantaged he appears, the more sympathy votes she may garner. kinda like barack's g-ma passing "conveniently" just before the election

I don't disagree, but three things:

1. It is a bit odd that she pardons a turkey and blabs her usual political BS while turkeys are being slaughtered in the background.
2. I haven't seen an animal slaughtered in a long time and many people have never seen this act. It is disturbing.
3. When she was running on Presidential ticket, she had the best campaign strategists, media consultants and communication directors the Republicans had to offer. Hearing them spin how great is Sarah Palin and how much they respect her, they must be banging their heads that they worked so hard and gave up their integrity for a person who allowed herself to be taped at a turkey slaughter.

i'm sure she lactates moose blood, so what's a turkey being "slaughtered" (gimme a friggin' break) going to mean to her? i just don't think her first thought is about people taking reasonable offense.

Well, if Mitt Romney dropped out the race because he strapped his dog on the roof, and Howard Dean dropped out because he was taped being overemotional at a rally, Palin has to be teflon if this does not destroy her 2012 chances.

It's not the slaughtering. It's the pardoning a turkey and THEN commenting on it in front of the slaughtering.

Srsly, I'm not offended. I just think she's an idiot.
