I bet she is still OK in Alaska and that is all it takes to be elected
senator

Why would she want to be demoted to Senator?

More leverage (see T. Stevens), a learning curve for 2012, Senator is
the stepping stone for the 21st C.

You need to go back to the woodshed. Being a Senator is a step DOWN
from being Governor, just as being a congressman is below the position
of senator.

Each state has a proportional number of congressmen, TWO senators, but
only ONE Governor. It's the most powerful positon you can hold in any
state.

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?

Grasshopper,

The position of a governor is higher, but of course like anything,
it's worthless in unskilled hands.

wax on, wax off!

Poor Herring. His home state went blue, and now he is, too.

Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina...there's still plenty of whiteys
there who think like you do, Herring.

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.

One of their governor is still sitting in the white house and the
governor of Florida put him there.

Any more question about the power of governors?

Think about how many governors got to be president.

Your example says nothing about the "power" of a governor

But that doesn't mean he had power as the Governor of Texas and the

Which has nothing to do with their power AS GOVERNORS.
