Now, let’s take a closer look at those glands and see if we can’t give a proper analysis.

Rick Perry - 21% (+21)
Mitt Romney - 18% (-3)
Michele Bachmann - 15% (+4)
Ron Paul - 12% (+4)
Sarah Palin - 10% (-5)
Newt Gingrich - 7% (-5)
Herman Cain - 6% (-9)
Rick Santorum - 5% (+5)
John Huntsman - 3% (+3)

Capehart does not maintain that these polls are cyclical, and have no bearing on actual sentiment. Palin has time on her side and an effective amount of PR could easily up-swing her momentum.

The former Alaskan governor and ex-Republican vice presidential candidate is being offered as a dinner partner in a charity auction on eBay, raising funds for the Ride 2 Recovery program, which supports wounded veterans through cycling programs.

The opening bid for the 3-course dinner is $25,000 but that number is expected to rise significantly over the next few days, especially considering a similar prize featuring Warren Buffet went for over $2.1million in 2008.

So, if you like Sarah Palin, or if you don’t but would like to tell her face-to-face, get the checkbook out and be brave!

Johnston and Palin have a chilly relationship

The ex-future son-in-law of Sarah Palin, Levi Johnston, has released a stinging report about the goings on within the Palin household.

The report includes accusations of lazy parenting on behalf of both Sarah and her husband Todd; the supposed doting parents of a down’s syndrome baby who, according to Johnston, passed their responsibilities off to their daughter, Bristol.

Johnston depicts Sarah Palin “on the living-room couch in her two-piece pajama set from WalMart.”

Johnston continues to attack the Palin’s parenting skills accusing Todd of being a clost alcoholic and claiming selfishness on behalf of Sarah.

“Todd, for his part, was in the garage sneaking beers,” says Johnston.  “There wasn’t much parenting in that house, Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook — the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school.”

Look, obviously this could be damaging to Sarah Palin, both as a political figure and as a mother, but one would be foolish to take Johnstons words seriously.  Levi Johnston comes across as a creep; he is looking for fame through the route of defacing a political figure.

Johnston got Bristol Palin pregnant.  Congratulations, sir.  But his attempts to rile the media into believing his selfish stories are lame at best.

Johnston would be best served getting his life in order and creating a comfortable atmosphere with his child’s grandparents instead of pursuing his own selfish folly.

Sarah Palin is a Republican's dream

Time Magazine has named Sarah Palin number 79 on a list of the 100 most influential people of 2008.

Palin was nominated as running-mate for Republican candidate John McCain in the 2008 U.S. National Election.

Palin, a 45 year old mother of five breathed life into what was a spluttering campaign for McCain who was facing a landslide defeat of historic proportions before selecting his running-mate.

Sarah Palin made the Republican party more attractive, particularly among women; she even attracted some previously Democratic voters whose first allegiance was to Hillary Clinton.

The effect had on the election by Sarah Palin’s inclusion should not be overlooked and, if the Republicans had won, she may have gone down as the most influential VP of all time.  Sadly for Palin though, the election belonged to Barack Obama and his Democrats, leaving Palin struggling for the recognition she deserved.

Despite the eventual and inevitable failure of the Republican bid in 2008, Sarah Palin remains a revered personality within America’s conservative ranks. Palin continues to represent the Republican Party as the governor of Alaska and will remain one of the most popular politicians in the country amongst Republican voters.

Sarah Palin starts race

It has been revealed that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has yet again violated ethics law whilst standing in as the starter for a snowmobile race.  Palin wore a jacket promoting one of the teams in the race while acting as an official of the contest.

The jacket is emblazoned with the logo of ‘Team-Arctic,’ the main sponsor for her husband’s team.  The complaint was raised by Linda Kellen Biegel, an Anchorage blogger who wrote on her web page that Sarah Palin had a conflict of interest because the jacket she wore displayed a preference towards one of the teams.

Palin’s office said that no evidence could be found supporting the claim that the Executive Branch Ethics Act was violated.

Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has been penciled in to appear on hit TLC television show ‘American Chopper.’

It turns out this self confessed hockey mom is, in fact, a hot motorcycle momma!  The TV show, which airs on TLC, is based in a high end chopper shop that designs custom motorcycles for the rich and famous.

The current Alaska Governor welcomed the whole crew from Orange County Choppers to Anchorage, which is the home town of the shop’s owner and show star Paul Teutul Sr.

The bike is being designed to commemorate the 50 year anniversary of Alaska’s assimilation into the United States.

Palin said of the gesture: “It means so much to the state of Alaska that these guys are building this bike that will honor statehood here.”

During the episode, Paul Sr. relaxes with Governor Palin in her office and talks about his enjoyment of snowmobiling and fishing in the summer. “Maybe we’ll ride the bike to the fishing hole,” said Palin.

Paul admits that he was nervous before meeting the former VP candidate but conceded that Palin was “a real down to earth person to talk to.”

The show can be seen on TLC on June 2.

Sarah Palin

Members of the Senate bipartisan majority rejected a Sarah Palin stimulus plan on Tuesday, stating that “palin’s proposal does not meet the spirit of the act, which was to funnel money to states in order to stimulate the nation’s faltering economy.”

Palin’s latest set-back as Alaska governor revolved around using federal stimulus dollars for education and other projects but was rejected quickly and unanimously.

As governor, Sarah Palin has struggled to find her niche, as many of her ideas are either rejected or passed then highly criticized later.

One example of this is the culling of wolves and bears in Alaska which promotes the shooting of predators from small planes.  This caused major uproar in the lower 48 states and among animal rights activists since many of the animals are left maimed to die of cold or to be eaten by scavengers.

Palin needs to figure her policies out if she wishes to be re-elected to govern Alaska.
