Pres. Bush and John McCain proposed legislation in 2003 and 2005 that would have avoided this financial crisis. Each time, the Democrats blocked it.
cmon, I had heard many political pundits mention her name beginning in the spring of 2008.
Here are two stories about it from news archives:

Governor Palin has had approval ratings in the 80's-90's, the highest of any Governor in the U.S. There is a good reason for this: she is doing an outstanding job.
Under Palin, Alaska now has an estimated 5 billion dollar surplus (some say 9 billion). Alaskans each received checks for over two thousand dollars from the surplus.
Palin successfully negotiated a deal for a 1,700 mile natural gas pipeline to the lower 48 states. It was a great achievement.
Sometimes Alaskans call Sarah Palin "Our Margaret Thatcher." Maybe it is because Palin as Commander in Chief of the AK National Guard, was recently faced with a national security crisis from Vladimir Putin in the form of his Russian bombers flying close to the Alaskan coast (the Russians were angry over America's recognition of Kosovo). She must have handled the situation skillfully, because the Russians backed off and America was not attacked.
I would say that counts as foreign policy experience.
Last year Palin visited her Guardsmen in Kuwait and stopped at the Landsfuhl military base in Germany to visit the troops.
If you recall, Obama was supposed to visit wounded troops at the hospital there, but decided to go to the gym and do some shopping instead.
Palin was on a list of possible VP picks along with Romney, Pawlenty and Jindal. There were many people promoting her qualifications for months before she was chosen by McCain.
Do not be fooled by the Democrats' attempts to demonize and diminish her. This lady is a talented, patriotic American leader.
60,000 people came out to see Palin in Florida yesterday. Those are huge numbers, bigger than what Obama draws.
Expect more lies and smears about Palin and her family. The Dems will continue to throw the kitchen sink at her in an attempt to destroy her.
It is amazing how Obama supporters diminish Sarah Palin by omitting the fact that she is Governor (not Mayor) of Alaska. She also happens to have an approval rating in the 80's, the highest of any Governor in the U.S.
