I guess you think a tin pot governor that only some perverts had ever
heard of because she won a beauty contest 20 years ago is superior to
a guy who can knock out a request for a $400 million bridge to nowhere
or get pork payments for Alaskans at 10 times what any other state got
per capita?

It depends on whether you want money or power. A governor probably has
more power within their state than the president.
It is very recently that anyone even tried to check a governor's
power. 15 years ago Spitzer's hooker problems would have been swept
under the rug. I bet he could have survived if he was willing to fight
it anyway. It was Democrats who pushed him out.
Senators have a lot more rules to go by than governors

I think Alaska is not your average state, what little I knew about
before Sarah got tagged was verified by much of her talk and the stuff
printed in the Alaskan papers. Remember these people are no closer
than 300 miles from the next piece of the U.S. and more likely at 1000
miles. They think like they should be independent. Palin's remarks on
what happened to the Alaska Independence Party are revealing: "We made
them Republicans".

example of her status today.

Tell Texans how much power their governor has.
