- Palin is a fiscal conservative.
- Palin ha succeeded in signing a deal to build Alaska’s long-stalled gas pipeline.
- Palin’s energy experience will lower gas prices and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
- Palin told Congress “Thanks, but No Thanks” on that Bridge to Nowhere.
- Palin never sought earmarks as governor.
- Palin has taken a tough stance against earmarks.
- Palin cut taxes.

- Palin traveled abroad to Ireland.
- Palin has experience in foreign affairs because she was commander-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard.

Some are major, some are trivial — but the constant pumping-up of Palin’s rep by the McCain campaign (in part a reaction to the media inquiries into her quality as a VP candidate) keeps being shown, in small things and great, to be a tissue of … um … something.
