I mean if our governor, Ruth-Ann Minner, spent this much time gallivanting across the nation ESPECIALLY now that the elections are all done, we Delawareans (which btw numbers about 200k more than Alaskans) would have her head on the platter.
I mean I realize that part of being a governor is to travel to other states & countries from time to time to help promote the state you're representing. But I seriously don't see this gal doing one thing that is actually a benefit to those who elected her.
How much money was Sarah able to get for the citizens of Alaska again??
There's a lot of thread on Sarah hate on the island today.

1. Gov of Alaska is a part time job (at best)
gives her plenty of time to do other things.

6. She brings her children with her and the people of Alaska pay for it.
She puts them up in five star hotels at $750. a night and charges the State of alaska for it. She says her children are "representatives" of the State..She also charges the State "per diem" for staying in her own home when she is actually in the State. She has not shown her face in the State Capital for months, and hasn't lived in the Governor's Mansion (the people's house) in over a year.

5. the electorate is generally quite tolerant of this sort of thing
Look at how much time various members of the House and Senate stayed away from their "day jobs" while they ran for president.

13. there's kinda an unwritten rule that during the months leading up to the election that this happens
So even with Sarah Palin, I forgave her on that one. But the elections are overwith - go do your damn job, which I believe is more than just pardoning one turkey in front of the rest that are getting slaughtered.
What's Hillary been doing. IDJIT

10. Mitt Romney spent almost no time in MA- not surprising since he hated Mass Liberals
He spent most of his time running for President and avoiding our state like the plague.
You mean the govenor that stepped down two days after forming a presidential exploratory committee. God you are ****ing idjits
