I used to have respect for Mrs McCain, but after that nugget, I can see why Hensley & Co won't let her come within a 100 miles of having anything to do with actually running that business.

hmmm Would only be fishing issues conceivably wouldn't it, between Russia and Alaska and Japan?

Of course theres the North Pole claim stuff but I dont know how much the Gov of Alaska would be involved in that.

Alaska is technically our largest state though, land area wise.

Now if, on the other hand, I start "critiquing" her, she has reason for feeling complimented.

Never said any such thing. He plays hardball and is a good deal of the reason a democrat was finally able to take the White House after 12 years.

But the idea that he could teach Rove anything is like saying I can teach the Devil how to flame.

Yes. It is more than 500 times the land area of Rhode Island, so that would make the governor of Alaska 500 times more fit to govern, based on experience per square mile.

he was the Rove of Bill Clinton's administration.

Bill Clinton's Administration proceeded Bush's

I don't think its much of a stretch at all.

Pick another analogy - I'm not sure I'd put my money on the Devil there.

Please, what does that make Rove, the Goebbels of the Bush administration? Fine, then, works for me.

I'm sure you don't. You may be as alone in that assessment as you were yesterday about soulmate. Rove has been in politics a long, long time, Colette. He wrote his own playbook.

Experience per square mile! I LOVE that metric!

(because the laugh button just wasn't enough)

OK, point taken and Russia and Japan. However, point me to where I can read about the Alaskan governor's involvement in negotiating international treaties?

Regarding gigantic Alaska, I always thought executive "exerience" had more to do with dealing with issues for people, not endless expanses of tundra.

**Io Zeno** · 09-03-2008, 01:18 PM

And why do you people think I just got up when I log into SLU, lol? It's 1:30 in the afternoon here.

I do not allow forum trolling before noon is all or I would never get anything done.

I'm not sure if you're referencing my post, but I made a rant specifically naming Carville and Rove and being to blame for a lot of the reason I don't much like either party.

Now if all she said was she ran America's largest state - and not what you just said - why does that comparison matter?

I admit its silly to compare it to California which is the "Largest" State in population and economy.

People in this thread and that Huff post dealie were dismissing Alaska entirely based on its population - is her comment more crazy than that?

College, Vietnam War draft, and the Dixon campaign incident

In the fall of 1969, Rove entered the University of Utah, on a $1,000 scholarship,[9] as a political science major and joined the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Through the University's Hinckley Institute of Politics, he got an internship with the Utah Republican Party. That position, and contacts from the 1968 Bennett campaign, helped him land a job in 1970 on Ralph Tyler Smith's unsuccessful re-election campaign for Senate from Illinois. Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson III won.
In December 1969, the Selective Service System held its first lottery drawing. Those born on December 25, like Rove, received number 84. That number placed him in the middle of those (with numbers 1 [first priority] through 195) who would eventually be drafted. On February 17, 1970, Rove was reclassified as 2-S, a deferment from the draft because of his enrollment at the University of Utah in the fall of 1969. He maintained this deferment until December 14, 1971, despite being only a part-time student in the autumn and spring quarters of 1971 (registered for between six and 12 credit hours) and dropping out of the university in June 1971. Rove was a student at the University of Maryland, College Park in the fall of 1971; as such, he would have been eligible for 2-S status, but registrar's records show that he withdrew from classes during the first half of the semester. In December 1971 he was reclassified as 1-A. On April 27, 1972, he was reclassified as 1-H, or "not currently subject to processing for induction". The draft ended on June 30, 1973.

In the fall of 1970, Rove used a false identity to enter the campaign office of Democrat Alan J. Dixon, who was running for Treasurer of Illinois. He stole 1000 sheets of paper with campaign letterhead, printed fake campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing", and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters, with the effect of disrupting Dixon's rally. (Dixon eventually won the election). Rove's role would not become publicly known until August 1973. Rove told the Dallas Morning News in 1999, "It was a youthful prank at the age of 19 and I regret it."

There you go forgetting about lovable little ole' me again Envoy.

fyi, Rove has been working for GW since Texas, he didn't spawn in 2000.

Thank you.

Really, Rove reminds me of Roy Cohen, he is just evil and always was.

Yeah i doubt she be much more than present during any sort of North Pole negotiations.

And as far as I know none of thats really even been gone over.

So really it could only be the fishing stuff I would guess.

-----------------------

Alaska would be a challenging state to Govern for several reasons ..

The resource based Industries are pretty important to the whole country. The fact all the industries are so spread apart. The difficulties with the Sunless winters, etc.

Would it compare to say running California? I wouldn't think so.

But It would definitely have as many challenges as a lot of states with much larger populations.
