Palin statistically tied with Obama in head to head race.

[Straw Man]

Did she break the law?  Were ethic charges filed?  Were lawsuits filed on this?  They filed charges against her for the stupid jacket she wore.  Surely if this were as egregious as you want to make it sound they would have done something no?

(AP)  Gov. Sarah Palin's signature accomplishment - a contract to build a 1,715-mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 - emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, an Associated Press investigation shows.

Beginning at the Republican National Convention in August, the McCain-Palin ticket has touted the pipeline as an example of how it would help America achieve energy independence.

Despite Palin's boast of a smart and fair bidding process, the AP found that her team crafted terms that favored only a few independent pipeline companies and ultimately benefited the winner, TransCanada Corp.

And contrary to the ballyhoo, there's no guarantee the pipeline will ever be built; at a minimum, any project is years away, as TransCanada must first overcome major financial and regulatory hurdles.

And? 

How many companies could even fulfill the contract? 

Did you even read what the heck you posted?  It said the hurdles are regulatory in nature.

How about patraeus and someone who isn't a fcking drama queen quitter?

seriously, stop settling for mediocrity and look in the GOP for a candidate with an advanced law or economics degree, 10 years of stable govt running, and a crystal clean personal history.

this jerry springer shit is embarassing.  have some fvcking standards for your party.  you're obviously smitten with miss palin.  Buy her calendar.  But putting her in charge of the free world because she is spunky and cute?  Gimme a break.  "settling" didn't work in 08.  Don't do it in 2012, please!!!

Oh yes...

I read all the articles I post.

The article said:   

TransCanada must first overcome major financial and regulatory hurdles

So Palins big accomplishment was to game the bidding process so that a crony could win the contract and THE COMPANY is now dealing with both FINANCIAL AND REGULATORY challenges
