In 2006 Sarah Palin defeated an incumbent governor of her own party in order to get the Alaska GOP gubernatorial nomination. After winning that nomination battle against longtime GOP U.S. Senator and sitting governor -and pork-loving blow-hard- Frank Murkowski, father of recently-re-elected U.S. Senator -and permanent sour face- Lisa Murkowski, Palin then got to run against the Democrat, another recent former Alaska governor, Tony Knowles.
And won.

As of two years ago, there was not a single LIVING Democratic politician in the entire United States who had ever run that sort of gantlet to get elected governor of their respective state. Just saying...

While it's easy for people to throw stones at Palin, especially from a distance, doing what she did, as mayor of a small and otherwise obscure city in Alaska that even most well-informed people in the Lower 48 had NEVER heard of, was and is pretty amazing.

That no LIVING Democrat has done anything like that is the proof.

I've always liked women with moxie, and Sarah Palin has that in abundance. As far as I'm concerned, whatever else she may lack, that particular quality will always help compensate for an awful lot, and endear her with average American voters, who quickly tire of pretentious, self-promoting phonies like John Kerry or John Edwards, whose innate shallowness, self-deception and disconnectedness to most of the country's genuine concerns eventually shines thru, no matter how talented or skillful their speechwriters.

The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza chimed in on Sarah Palin's political future on Friday from his WaPo blog, The Fix, pondering aloud, "Why Sarah Palin could struggle in 2012."

Yes, you're right, South Florida, in the year 2010, soon to be 2011, the Miami Herald and South Florida Sun-Sentinel have nothing even close to this in terms of breadth of quality or quantity. Why?

Now, that's a good question.
Why don't the publishers of these two newspapers want to address those issues with concerned readers in South Florida?

NYT's TimesCast video examines U.S. Senate races in Alaska & Washington, psychology of partisanship; what Miami Herald should've been doing YEARS ago!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxPUGIianBA

1.) New York Times Seattle bureau chief William Yardley looks at the U.S. Senate race in Washington state between 18-year Democratic incumbent Patty Murray and Republican Dino Rossi.

I first met Murray in the fall of 1992 and chatted with her as she waited to speak with Charlie Cook of the eponymous Cook Political Report at the Roll Call newspaper office on Capitol Hill. From my p.o.v, she's been a real disappointment and not at all the reasonable 'Mom in tennis shoes' she portrayed herself as; Rossi likely had the governor's race stolen out from under him; Rossi will win on Tuesday in the land of Huskies, transportation nerds and insanely beautiful college coeds.

2.) NYT political reporter Michael D. Shear discusses the U.S. Senate tri-partite battle between defeated Republican incumbent-cum-write-in Lisa Murkowski, Republican Joe Miller and Democrat Scott McAdams -no relation to the ever-adorable Rachel, soon to star in a terrific new film -Morning Glory- according to my Left Coast Film Industry Friend. More on Rachel and the film later this week.

3.) Science Times writer Benedict Carey examines the psychology of partisanship.
