Green has been critical of her fellow Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain's vice presidential running mate. Green said "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?", while referring to an oil tax increase Palin pushed through an award of a $500 million state subsidy to a Canadian firm to pursue a natural gas pipeline that is not guaranteed.[2]
Earlier in January 2008, Palin had been involved in a mild controversy in an appearance on the KWHL radio program "The Bob and Mark Show." During the show, Palin and host Bob Lester repeatedly criticized Green, accused her of being jealous of Palin's success, and mocked Green's weight. Lester went on to call Green a "cancer" and a "bitch," to which Palin laughed several times.[3][4] Green is a cancer survivor. Several days later, Palin's office addressed the controversy, stating that she was "caught off guard" by Lester's comments.[5]

I've heard them say, she got a pipeline done that has been trying to get done for 30 years.
She delivers, she's a doer. That's what they were saying.
No, it seems she's a shill.
I was thinking when I heard about that pipeline...there was probably a good reason it wasn't built for 30 years.
Because those before her, didn't want the state and people of Alaska to be screwed over by a pipeline deal that favored the oil (or whatever) company(ies).
Well I can see now how she get's stuff done. She just bends over and give them what they want. A 500 million subsidy, to get it done. Yep that would probably qualify as bending over.
Do I read that right that they get the money, but the pipeline might not have to be built?
So basically here is 500 million, and if we don't bend over further over say environmental issues, you can keep the 500 million, and we still don't have a pipeline.
Now that's what I call a reformer. What a joke.
Oh and she laughs about cancer jokes. Maybe some one should make a down syndrome joke...nah no one should let her off that easy.
It just confirms that she is a bigot. She hates gays, so if you can hate another person based on their genetics and eventual sexuality, why not someones genetics and their risk for getting cancer? It's in the same ballpark.
How can anyone like this lady? She's a dog. A female one.

You're starting to do what you're saying Palin does. My grandaddy always told me "don't be like them if you don't like them".

I've heard the "harriett miers" theory too....but after she formally accepts the nomination this week, she couldn't be replaced on the ticket. She could quit, but they couldn't force her off of it.

Did McGovern's original VP choice quit, or was he replaced on the ticket? I don't remember the technicality of what happened.

He quit, after some embarrassing revelations (insert joke about Ed being crazy here) that he received electroshock therapy for mental illness.
Here's a NY times obit on Thomas Eagleton who died at age 77 in 2007. I was working on the McGovern campaign at the time as a foot soldier. One of those people who hung flyers on doors and talked to the other kids at the university I was attending. Rough going that one.

I knew about the electroshock therapy, but all the shows I've watched on McGovern say he was forced to pick a new VP, but they never mention if he quit or was replaced.

You can see from the article that pressure was put on McGovern to get TE to withdraw which Eagleton eventually did.

Tonight they just read a release from the McCain camp saying Palin wasn't vetted by the McCain vetting head until the Thursday before announcing her on Friday. They say she said she told them her daughter was pregnant then. They said McCain still went with Palin. That's what they said went down from the McCain camp.
