In our deepest darkest depth of a bankrupt VA (according to big spending Pubs, and Dems).
Virginia's budget rose $150 million in spending from Gilmore 2001 to Warner in 2002.
Just to put that in perspective!
Whether it's fiscal issues or social issues, Sarah Palin doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk. She not only generates hatred from the democrats, but so many fake conservatives among repulbicans as well. Some of those lining themselves up for the 2012 primaries are already taking cheap shots at her. They can't touch her record so they resort to the same cheap tactics used by the dems. Huckabee, for instance, was seen yucking it up at the Palin jokes by Axelrod at a Katie Couric event the other day, and Romney recently dismissed her as being beautiful but not influential. He later backtracked on that one, but his people have been at the forefront of attacks on her within the GOP.
