Email From Wasilla

PLEASE stay on Palin's case!  I live in the Wasilla area, and cannot make public statements about her for fear of retribution. It is time AK had a governor that did the job, instead of posing and preening for the press.

As the Republican state Senate president of Alaska, another Wasillan, said two months ago:

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"

She was on right-wing radio in Texas today. Texas.
