Of course, Sarah will make regular visits to prison to visit Stevens, right?!

Yeah, right!!!!!

I love the way she ends her sentences with "also"…(roll eyes). But seriously, STOP reporting on this polarizing lunatic ALSO .

OK, seriously…enough about this woman! We lend more creedence to her political stature by reporting on her moves, statements and whatever the heck her next baby will be named!

This is actually good for Palin and the Repubs as it removes any chance of her selecting herself to serve out Stevens' term once he would have been tossed by the Repub caucuss. This gal is clearly not what the Repubs need to get their house in order……a strident religious extremist with limited appeal to just about everyone outside of the evangelistas. Perhaps her absence from the national scene will allow the Repubs to see other better qualified leaders to bring along who appeal to a broader audience and can offer real solutions to 21st century challenges instead of resorting to silly name-calling (like Ms. Palin seemed to like to do so much).

To EW:

Speak for yourself because most people on this message board know the difference between Sarah and Tina — Tina is much smarter and more articulate than the moose-eating, wolf-killing Sarah. No one with intelligence is confusing the two.

Back on topic:

WHO CARES!

Well, Well , the Pot Can't talk about the Kettle can she?? She's got her own baggage to carry!!!

Sarah PALIN is an intellectual dwarf. I just wish she gets lockjaw so I would not have to hear her shrill lieing voice anymore.

Yea, She will need to drink more Moose Stew, because she aint never gonna be President at this rate. Obama, then Clinton, then Chelsea. alaska will be a tropical paradise by then, and we won't need no oil!

It amazes me how intolerant Liberals on these boards are even though they preach tolereance

Poor Mr. Begich having to be up there in Alaska with 'her'.
Hopefully the good people up there will vote Palin OUT next time.

I won't waste my breath saying what I'd like to say.

But, for the people who really like Palin, please, please, please, go and rent the movie "Idiocracy." This is a movie made by the makers of Beavus and Butthead. It is a movie, not a cartoon, but extremely hilarious, with Dax Shepard, Owen Wilson's brother.

Then you will see why people are grateful for the election results.

Sounds like the governor has a staffer writing her press release of congratulations to Mark Begich. Palin-speak is generally an incoherent jumble of words connected by also, that, and that too also.

Congratulations to Mark Begich, and to Alaskans who are voting for change.

dang yet another putrid mug shot of America's ding bat and intellectual female equivalent to GWB.

Sarah, Sarah! What are you saying — congratulating this man for 'all he has done for Alaska' — wow! YOu are unbelievable. YOu DO NOT KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP.

PROUD that Barack Obama`s our President? Well sure…if you want this country to go as Socialist as Europe…I`ve lost all faith in the intelligence of the American people.

God…I swear the hatred you far-left lunatics show towards the woman is completely disgusting.The election`s over leave her be.Immature morons.

Have they thought of putting her on 'Are you smarter than a fifth grader?' Betcha she'll be out in the first round.

All the negative comments to Sarah Palin is tantamount to kicking a person when she/he is already down. Jesus said "Who among who do not have any sin cast the first stone".

Oh CRAP D.Kimbro OHIO, I have just reread your post, that I MISREAD before! Bravo!

D.Kimbro OHIO~ I must correct you. Palin cannot appoint herself to the seat. A Dem has won. The only way she could appoint herself would be if Stevens had won and was later expelled.

I should also point out that by Stevens argument that he has not "yet been convicted" IE. not sentenced, he cannot expect a pardon by Bush. Bush is OUT 1/20/09, Stevens won't be sentenced until 2/09. He is SOL.

Thank heaven that Palin won't be able to appoint herself! The faster she fades away, the better.

Palin – do you get the feeling that you are not wanted in D.C., even by God??

Don't the doorknob hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

Bye – Bye now.

HAHA You people a unbelievable. Here, she does something gracious and you bash her!? Got to love CNN viewers. HEY I heard she is making dinner soon- you should all go to her house and criticize her on that too. OH and I like some are like "jeez shut her up! get her out of here, I'm seek of hearing about her." If you were sick of hearing about her then you wouldn't click on her stories and comment them. Its funny how pathetic it is. Its funny how shes the "idiot" and you are all sitting home on your computers typing nasty little comments about her. GET LIVES PEOPLE! THERE'S A WORLD OUT THERE!

I "betcha" Sarah Palin voted democratic straight down the ticket.

I second the "tireless effort" tag given to Stevens but the problem is whom the effort was for. It was the old dividing up the pot…one for you and one for me…one for you and two for me…one for you and three for me….

I'd like to know how a convicted felon (7Xs) can even run for office in the first place. You can't vote for politicians, but you can run as one?

GO away dumb lady go away.

NOW, THE COUNTRY WILL REALLY SEE WHAT PALIN AND HER HUSBAND HAVE BEEN DOING IN ALASKA WITH A DEMOCRAT SENATOR ON BOARD. THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Obama is only an "interim" president while we await your return in 2012′.

In fact Obama will probably resign or be impeached as he fails to halt the sliding economy and people are selling apples on street corners.

We await "The Thrilla from Wasilla." And by the way. you ARE gorgeous.

Enough! We don't care about Sarah. If you would stop reporting her every thought, maybe she would disappear from radar. Thank you!

Um, who CARES if Todd is happy for all the people who won their elections?? The guy isn't even a politician.

@ Cody, I would guess that everyone posting on these boards watches CNN. If you don't like what is said here go back to Faux Noise and listen to Hannity and Bill-O the clown spew their hate. Then there's always Tush Limbaugh to fill in the hatred gaps.

The reality is they, like you, are now irrelevant and no one cares what you, or they, say.

If you can't handle the fact the We the People have taken our government back from the party of Hate, Fear, and War mongers please sit quietly in the corner while REAL AMERICANS fix the problems idiots like you,Hannity, Bill-O and Tush created.

Her theme song should be "Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered" I'm hoping that Alaska boots her out of the governor's seat . Then she can "work" on her million dollar coloring book biography ALSO !!

I'm glad you think your right to privacy is "cool", Govn'r Palin! It's too bad people like you are quick to take it away in the name of security. I think it was Benjamin Franklin who once said something to the effect of 'people who would give away their rights in the name of security deserve neither."

I think it's really "cool" you're not my VP-elect.

“I am also exercising my right to privacy, and I don't have to tell anybody who I vote for, nobody does, and that’s really cool about America also,” she told a reporter.

TRANSLATION: Yes, I absolutely voted for Stevens.

Good, now we know she is stuck in Alaska until at least 2012.

Republicans Your party should be looking for some intelligent, politically minded people now and get their faces out there, so the American public could get acquainted and you would have a chance at winning a election. Don't put all you hopes on Mrs. Palin, sorry but that ship has left the harbor, that's a noper.

People, Look I'm no fan of Sarah Palin, and at times I can laugh at some of the jokes made at her expense, but do we have act like partisan fools
willing to use the most vile of insults to entertain ourselves.

Move past this hate for her and accept that if we reach out to people like
her, we can find common ground with anyone to get things done tearing
her down all the time makes you look mean cold and incapable of mercy.

When she comes out swinging in 4 years then you can take the fight to
her and it will be a noble fight, but now it's like watching a cold blooded
beating in the street!! Please Relax and live and let live.

The "four years of dedicated service" that she mentions is sickening. But then again, Palin doesn't read newspapers so I suppose she may have no idea of his corruption accusations.

well god didnt do that but fate perhaps play a big role in her not getting nowhere or maybe she did it. how by just opening up her mouth. everytime she opens that thing she proves to the worl she's an IDOIT. or dumb bell ding ding the verdicts in you lose sarah miller(palin).

The doors to bigger & better things have closed it seems…..oh well I believe there is plenty of work to do as the Govenor of Alaska. Good luck on that!

You Palin hating bashers are a ridiculously lude bunch of malicious malefactors. Your green w/envy colors are shining through as brightly as your jealousy is. You don't like her policies, fine, take her on on those premises, but do so with a degree of intelligent decorum that shows you put some research into the pros and cons of her views. Resorting to the low level comments that have been made on this site thus far show far more of your lack of character and candor than hers..

"…this is what makes America great also"

Why does this woman end every sentence with the word "also?"

it drives me crazy….

that has to be the beauty pageant in her…

This fabulous news, now she can't appoint herself to that seat and continue to terrorize the american people.

S. Boatman, that is priceless!!!!! Thank you so much. But you know you are wrong for that one.

You would think that God not picking the Senate path for her would shut her up… but no!

POOR ALASKA!
When they give Governor Palin an 80% approval rating in the state, they are the cavemen in Igloos.
When they elect a Democratic senator, whoo-hoo!

Palin has a gift that few people walking this
Earth will ever come close to knowing: Self-respect.

If the issues she raised about Ayers still leave a bitter taste for you, consider this…the Democrat Party has truly LOWERED the BAR when it comes to public office candidate's relationships to 'controversial' characters.
william ayers' bombing antics were total low-life-ville. he could have killed somebody and three of his own blew themselves up doing a gig.

When the "Rethuglicans" have a candidate on the table who… god, blew up abortion clinics in their teen years, and frequented a skinhead meeting or two, I dont even want to hear about it.

I think now she realizes the "Lower 48″ really doesn't care for her – stay in the Upper 49th please.

This statement by Sarah Palin proves that she is definitely and idiot.How can you thank a criminal who has been stealing without being caught for his services for forty years.let me tell you plainly and simple.Ted Stevens was a corrupt man years ago . you don't just wake up overnight and commit a crime.he must have been takiing BRIBE for many years without being caught. Crime starts from a small bribe and then it becomes facinating to the eyes.

Strike two – and losing her next gov'nor race will be 3. She's OUTTA Here

She'll get voted out of office next time around. Her 15 minutes are up and now she's been exposed for the skank she is. Hopefully ALL doors will be shut to her then, except that of wife and mother. Obviously her family has suffered because of her ambitions. Ambitions are wonderful – but not when your children suffer and apparently they have – teenage daughter knocked up and unmarried (or has the shot-gun wedding taken place yet?) oldest son in trouble for drugs forced to join miliary, youngest child has disability. I imagine Willow and Piper probably have some social or developmental problems as well, we just can't 'see' what they are – yet.

We're so Proud Barack Obama is our next POTUS.

I'd bet all my money she voted for Stevens. I understand he's viewed as a "good guy" by many Alaskans, and yeah, he might've done lots of "good things" for THEM only (pork barrel included), but truth is he broke the law and besides…for Christ sake..he's 85 already! I congratulate Begich for his win and I'd also ask him to be fair and never give in to greed.

That was the sound there of God's door also slammin' ya in the face, too.

hey that door is SLAMMED now skank. Hopefully you're gone too.

I guess we'll have to wait a little longer for her to disappear from the media but, not fast enough…..

i wonder how Sarah Palin feels to know that the RNC didn't pay her to talk?

OK… I'll have my Palinectomy now!

Why are we still hearing about Palin? This is ridiculous

We do not need to hear any more from Sarah Palin.

It takes guts to lie like that…but it comes so naturally to her! And I just laugh and laugh at all the "kool aid" comments. What Jim Jones did to his followers was a tragedy – led by a sick individual. Those of us who support President-elect Obama are highly intelligent, hopeful, people who do put the country first. How refreshing it is to have faith in a leader. Maybe those who believed Bush/Cheney war cries are the actual "kool aid" drinkers…

Congratulations to the Citizens of Alaska on their pick of Senator Mark Begich. He will be a breath of fresh air in Washington.

Go…away.

Congratulations, Alaska–now you have the only US Senator with no college degree in Begich. And isn't he also under investigation for financial irregularities?–GraceR
—————————————————————————————-
The last time I looked it wasn't a felony not to go to college. Alaskans made the right choice in picking Begich.

oops you can tell i m not social

Palin…SHUT UP and GO AWAYYYYY!!!!!!!

Isn't there an igloo she can go hibernate in?

Sarah didn you really fire all the board members on that diary farm that belonged to the state. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM now aint that socilism does it still remain open on state expense

Bye Bye, Sarah Palin!!

Bible Spice! I like that!

Oh puke – must we keep hearing about this woman? How about a story on Mr. Begich? Wouldn't that be a little more appropriate?

Now she can close her mouth and stop viewing his senate seat.

Apparently "god" has closed another door for her!!!!

"You mean I don't get to be Senator??"

You betcha.

I almost made it through the day without a Palin sighting. Why is she thanking a convicted felon? Oh, right, she’s a Republican! Why don't the people of Alaska do something cool like get rid of her also. I did notice she used words of more than one syllable so she must be studying hard for her presidential run (hee-haw!).

"…and that's really cool also".

Palin talks like a Valley Girl – or should I say trailer park trash…

I am guessing all the Palin haters are the Democrats who also hated Hillary even though she is a member of their party! hehe Well all the talk about ending the Clinton Dynasty has blown up in their faces being as The "NEW" administration is looking alot like the "OLD" democratic administration of Clinton being as these are the people Obama is hiring. Wonder if Rachel Madcow(Maddow)kool aid drinker from MSNBC will be his press secratary? All you kool aid drinkers need to go back and look at everything Obama promised to do at his epic nomination speech with the styrofoam stage. Now look at what he said when elected really doesn't sound the same at all total turn around. You sheep can't be that blind come on!

Please, please, please stop paying attention to this unqualified zealot.

"November 19th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I thought Sarah Palin didn't believe a right to privacy existed…."

That only applies to everybody else, not her.

OMG, she is Pissed! She wanted Stevens to win so that she could just walk into the position. I guess she didn't kill enough moose to get done what she wanted done. LOL!

Failen Palin struck out once again!

Good, let's talk about him instead of Palin from now on. Ugh.

that’s really cool about America also,”

Oh man!

Good to see that Palin will be unable to place herself in the Senate as Steven's replacement after all. The further away from the U.S. Capital she is, the better.

God must be smarter than I give Him/Her credit for.

McCain and Palin lost.

I wonder if this was God.s way of telling Palin…that the door hasn't been opened for her to plaw through

It is a boon in Stevens' to Begich. Otherwise, the Governor who believes that she is a specialist in Special Education, among other areas, and can thus,help mothers who have "exceptional children, "might have sneaked into the Senate seat. Thank God! no inclusion of Palin in the Senate!

Palin truly only supports one politician…Palin. She is so self-centered and narcisstic that she would drive a Psychiatrist to suicide!

We don't care who you voted for and that's a cool thing about America. Plz sarah work on that volcabulary. you sound like you are about 13 yrs. old. We are also glad and think it is cool you won't be in the senate.

Palin was not good in stump speeches…She was awful. Her speeches always reminded me of a high school pep-rally.

She'll do anything to keep her sweet cheeks in the media. Go away lady. Please, go away! And furthermore, no one really gives a fat rats behind what she thinks, says or does.

Well I for one am glad Begich won, that mean Sarah Faklin can't put herself in the Senate seat. I know they are not trying to be bothered with her in D.C.

I was just, this minute, telling my husband that I was so glad they stopped reporting on Sarah Palin as I perused the Ticker and "sure enough, you betcha, here we go again" there is another pointless, worthless story about this "cocky wacko" to quote a former Republican congressman.

And now she can fall off the face of the Earth.

Mrs. Palin is a hit-man in drag.She has mis-spoken many fraudulent /horrible things, and untold truths/rumors unfounded about Senator Obama, with absolutely no regard for integrity amongst her peers. Mr. Begich should avoid contact no closer than a keypad on a blackberry,with a minimum of one hundred miles between them!

She should have her own cooking show.

Snowball soup:

Put snowballs in pot of water.Heat.If unexpected moose and squirrel drop by,add more snowballs.
In a hurry?Put bowl of water in microwave,add snowballs.Nuke."Remember not to use metal pan.No matter how often I've tried it,the microwave always explodes.".

Well you can tell who watches CNN… just another democrat controlled station that only reports what they want how they want to instead of actually investigating issues in an unbiased fashion. No coverage of all the allegations about Obama or his almost billion dollar campaign. Just talk about how Palin dresses herself and about McCains wifes fortunes… Nothing about the $10 million a year the Clintons make on our dime each year but you hear about the $4m Mrs. McCain makes. While he builds this communist dream team we have to try to predict where our next meal is coming from.

WHO?

Thank God, that witch is not going to have a say in who represents Alaska in the Senate! She is ignorant and ridiculous and conjures up the worst of American fears regarding bigotry & narrowmindness, "he is not like us" mentality". She is definitely nobody's role model, Hilary Clinton she ain't…just because she talks loud and is fairly attractive, it's all cosmetic, and superficial with absolutely no substance. If she represents the best of Alaska, it's a sad state of affairs…she's suppose to be fostering "family values" and representing what a "real" American family looks like, let's see pregnant, high school drop out daughter, it's is definitely "Juno" revisited and it ain't funny. I expect my opinion to elicit a "firestorm" of support for Mrs. Palin, but you know what they say, "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen".

Send her awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!! Far away! Just the sound of her voice makes me sick!! She is a MORON!!!!

Sarah Palin has turned an ANGEL since the elections. She said congrats to Barack Obama and then said she was looking forward working with him.Now,She says congrats to the Democratic Senator but deep down in her heart she knows that she is on the bridge to nowhere and said she was looking forward working with him.I personally don't believe one word that comes out of sarah palin's mouth since the campaign. I have news for Sarah Palin——President Elect Obama needs people with COMMON SENSE and BRAINS and not people than can read a SCRIPT in the WHITE HOUSE. Thanks but no thanks you said you have no regrets about what you said on the campaign trail and those are your words ,not mine.

I will not take personal shots against Sarah Palin because she is not the problem, the people voting for her are. Sarah Palin is the epitome of what's wrong with our political system. You put an unqualified person in an elite place simply because she is a hockey mom and Alaskan mother's can relate to her. She is folksy, she is gorgeous, she is a great campaigner, and she does give an awesome stump speech; but look what she's accomplished in her government. She has put her own home town Wasilla in layers of insurmountable debt, fired a state trooper for not firing her ex brother in law, use taxpayers money for an uncompleted bridge to nowhere, and created an unfinished 40 billion dollar pipeline. Not to mention her background as a journalist who went 5 universities in 6 years. These are facts. If people keep on electing unqualified, arguably unintelligent representatives, our country will never prosper.

It's hard to get over an addiction, isn't it CNN? It's OK. just take it day by day and we will forgive you for this one relapse.

Why hasn't Pouty, Pukey Palin disappeared.?? She is old news. Old bad news! Why isn't she in Alaska getting ready for that shotgun wedding and becoming a granny! SEND HER AWAAAAAAAAAAY!!! PLEASE!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Hasn't anyone told her she lost, big time??

Palin's got the vocabulary of an eighth grader, woops! I think I just insulted all the eighth graders.

Palin Looks Like Quagmire From The Tv Show Family Guy! Gigiddy Gigiddy!

If the Repubs think Palin is their future, then they're thinking like dinosaurs and will become like them too–politically extinct.

I'm finally going to like Palin.

“I extend my congratulations to Mark Begich and his family,” Palin said

I wonder if she knows what Extend means or does she think it is a country?

There went palin's chance of being in the senate, and she knows it.

Good news

Bye bye. This is the last bit of news I expect coming from Alaska for a while.

I didn't know that Governors work with their US Senators. If Mark Begich is smart, he'll be spending a lot of time in Washington.

Can't wait for her book to be published. Since I feel that the press is going to scale down on reports about her then the book would sort of give me that Palin fix I may need. 2010 cannot come soon enough.

What's really 'cool' about America Sarah is that you will never be President of it.

Who cares!

Thanks for breaking the law Ted., Palin's never ending tireless effort to end corruption in Alaska seems to appreciate it.

What a disgusting human being…both of them (Palin and Stevens, the poster children of what the republican party is all about….Corruption)

Oh brother…. why is this news? Who cares what she says? Please STOP with Palin, she is SO annoying, divisive, mean, petty……. etc.

"…that’s really cool about America also,” she says. Really cool. What a teenager.

Sarah, shut up and GO AWAY! No one cares what you think or who you voted for.

CNN, please stop giving her media time. She's an annoying know-nothing that needs to hide in an igloo somewhere in AK and never show her face outside of her state again.

Sarah Palin's days as Governor just became even fewer.

Come on Alaska – Do the right thing.

PLEASE, CNN…let her disappear in peace, hopefully never to be heard from again!

I just wonder who is more likely to need a caretaker to wipe the drool from their chin…Stevens or Palin.

I know there is a mentally handicapped member of the Palin Klan but I can't tell which one it is……..

Palin Looks Like A Female Version Of Quagmire From That Show Family Guy! Gigiddy Gigiddy Gigiddy!

She is by far the ONLY person who ran in the entire presidential campaign I can't say anything good about. Please sweetie just go away!

what an airhead..she's as ditzy as they come…lmao!

NO PINHEADS……. NO MORONS………. NO JACK AN' APES…………

this is not supposed to be funny…….but it is!!!!!!

take some time off,,,,,,,,, and do some reading honey.

Just when I was starting to celebrate the fact there had been no Sarah Palin stories for a few days……….

She's baaacccckkk……….

Palin: "I look forward to working with Mark on the many issues that are important to our state."

She couldn't call him Senator Elect Mark Begich? And if you want to play the "folksy" card then why didn't she call Ted just plain old "Ted"?

Mark Begich is a brave man. If she said she was looking forward to working with me, I'd find that disturbing.

What's cool about America is that we saw through your nonsense and didn't elect you. Saying something nice about a democrat must have been very unpleasant for you. I doubt it was sincere.

She will be up for re-election in 2010 for governor. Lets send whomever wins the democratic primary lot and lots of campaign funds.

She's still a governor — and you people are still sniveling weasels!!!!!!!

@ROC:

I thought I was the only one who noticed

It was nice not hearing or seeing Palin for a couple of days……….lets see if we can go a little longer…….like forever……..CNN you should have posted Mark Begich picture not Sarah Palins……..we don't care what she thinks of his win……….Let Palin just slip into the Twilight Zone up there in Alaska where she belongs……

Palin's first word the day she was born — also.

The Look On Her Face Tells Me She Is Upset That The Door To The Senate Has Slammed Shut In Her Face! You Wont Slip In The Back Door Like A Greasy Weasel This Time Palin! I Doubt You Will Be Able To Slip Out Of Your New Ethics Violation Charges Either! Hopefully It Will Be Enough To Oust You From Office So I Dont Have To See You Our Your Square Face Anymore!

It's great to see the good people of Alaska voted for Begich. Congratulations Senator!

First of all, I'm glad to see Begich finally declared the winner. Ted Stevens just did not deserve that seat anymore since he was convicted of not one, but seven felony charges. I was worried that if Stevens won the vote count that Palin would then force him out of office and either put herself in to service out his term or, worse yet, her dingy 'first-dude' husband. Thank God we won't be subjected to that!!!!

Somebody please tell me why some people think Palin is "pretty"? She has a lower jaw line & chin that would look better on a brawny lumberjack than on a woman.

Okay, I "almost" made it through the day without a catty remark, but Palin just makes it so hard to do…..

Everybody have a wonderful evening!

SARAH PALIN HAS OFFICIALLY BECOME IRRELEVANT!!!

YAY!!!!

Bible Spice was also quoted as saying "Begich good senate run seat campaign it was also needless to say pipeline geriatric criminal hero should be proud again also there you betch dontcha know."

This woman's 15 minutes are up! Enough all ready!!!

It was good NOT seeing her in the news lately…does this really have to be reported here?

I'm sure both were thrilled to know she was thinking of them!

Why was this worth reporting? We've had a few nice peaceful days without her, let's keep it that way.

Please please please Alaska. You have done well by voting Begich in for the Senate. Now you are just one step away from breaking your Republican addiction. Just vote out Caribou Barbie and replace with a Democrat and all will be well.

Free PALINECTOMYS…get 'em while they're hot

Congratulations, Alaska–now you have the only US Senator with no college degree in Begich. And isn't he also under investigation for financial irregularities?

I also think we've had enough of Governor Palin, we have, and that's what I like and is cool about this great country, Also, too.

Guess Palin can say good-bye to that bridge to the U.S. Senate, at least for now (and let's hope forever). Now she can concentrate on continuing to redistribute wealth from the oil companies to the citizens of Alaska (doesn't that qualify as "socialism" in Palin World?). Oh well.

Palin congratulates a convicted felon for great service. Wow, I'd hate to see what it would take for the "maverick" to not congratulate someone for their service? That's what is wrong with politics, the republicans and Washington DC

Thanking a convicted felon for accepting bribes? Sarah Palin has really got to check herself…NOT "cool" Sarah.

Also

Congratuations Mark Begich for winning and restoring faith in the electoral system. Ted Stevens needs to retire and live out the rest of his life quietly, thinking about what brought about his downfall.

You know Sarah's disappointed that she couldn't use Stevens' removal from the Senate as her back-door into the position.

On the other hand, those of us who respect intelligence and integrity in our politicians are thrilled that both Stevens and Palin are now out of the Senate.

QUICK, SOMEONE GET A PREACHER, SHE'S SPEAKING IN TONGUES AGAIN!!!

I second what Denise says! And third! And fourth, etc., etc., etc.!

Good Another one bites the dust!

Is she still with us ?

Why is this lady still in the news?

You betcha Stevens and his pork money benefitted Alaskans. We can hope that Begich will be a bit more fiscally responsible than the Republicans have proven to be. Hope Palin doesn't have any big projects in mind–oh, she does…that gas pipeline also that has been started (but wasn't) before it has been approved also. Hopefully, the Alaskans who voted out Stevens will get her out in two years, and she can retire with her 7 mill book deal and her poor grammar (also.)

Wow, this made my day. I was missing the "let's bash Palin some more" blogs. The republicans keep giving her a chance to bow away gracefully, but she takes it as support.

Amusing or sad? You tell me: Begich beats an 80+ year old convicted felon senator who held his seat for 30 some odd years and faces jail time of abotu equal duration, and what does CNN post? An article about the Palinidiot with a picture of her giant moron face in it.

So yeah…amusing or sad?

Congratulations Senator-elect Begich! What difference does it make what Caribou Barbie says?!?!

Advice to Begich: Don't turn your back to Palin.

phew…I was beginning to lose all hope that I'd never see her shining, idiot face in the news again…the comedic withdrawal was killing me

If only we can keep Palin in the lime light for 8 more years. Wink

sarah, God is speaking. Are you listening? He doesn't want you to have any power anywhere other than alaska, and hopefully they will boot you out there in 2012.

I am glad Stevens lost so Palin will not be able to take his place and maybe, if we are lucky, we won't hear about every move she makes.
It is like she has a spell on reporters. READ MY LIPS……we do not care about Sarah Palin.

I have no interest in anything Palin has to say as she has proven herself to be a chronic liar. She calls her actions, "calling someone out on their record". I call hypocritical behavior of a so called Christian. That is not my interpretation of the Bible or an example of "What Would Jesus Do". As a Christian, her first responsibility should be to serve God and set a positive example for other Christians in her role. She did not display any Christian behavior that I could see in her short moment of stardom. She displayed the "mean spirited" and
despicable behavior similar to Bush. Funny that they both call themselves Christians. What a turn-off to those who may be seeking the truth about God.

there you Dems go again. McCain and Palin have been much more gracious in defeat than you sore losers have been in victory. Stop whining, you won already!

I honestly don't care what Sarah Palin says anymore. As long as we don't have to worry about her being in charge of the nuclear chain of command anymore I simply refuse to care who or what she endorses.

It is funny to see mostly women on here hating on another woman. Typical!

It is funny to see mostly women on here hating on another woman. Typical

Hope she likes the taste of crow as much as moose, haha!

in 2012, the new slogan america will be taking up is "xeroxed clinton admin. failed, we need republican reform and palin power"

Governor Palin, shhhhh – quietly go away please. Thank you.

This woman cannot put together a complete and comprehensive sentence. You do not end a sentence with " also".
So much for a degree in journalism, my grandchildren speak better English than her!!

Her face is so big and chunky in this pic she looks like a football player.

almost as bad as McCain's Jowles.

people look funny! heheehhehe

The pitbull with lipstick (female dog)… is barking again?
Who cares?

Wow! Such dislike for one person. Now if only that energy could be focused for good instead of hate.

Palin will say or do anything to keep her face in the news .
Hey !, Sarah , Why dont you take up the offer that Hugh Hefner made to you , about posing as the " PlayBoy Centerfold ", in the nude…..
I remember him making the offer to you , saying , if by chance you and John McBush lost the Nov. 4th election for the presidency , and vice presidency , actually , not to you personnally , but I guess through the regular channels of communication " Divas ", such that you are , usually use ….
Who knows , you might end up with a talk show or something .
Or you could take over as " Howard Sterns " side kick , and replace Robin ……..

One more State ,.. wow…. I guess CNN does not have a Mark Begich's pic ….is that why they use Palin's pic instead….. Shame on you CNN

Palin, SHUT YOUR MOOSE-HOLE!

Sarah failin Palin go away!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like most Americans, tire of Palin and her resurfacing. But then again, I think she helps the Democratic Party every times she does. If she is the best of the GOP, we don't have to worry about a shift in party for quite sometime. Being that she is ignorant to the environment (and most every other important issue), I am grateful that Alaska has finally chosen a democrat that will support environmental issues in her state. AK is a beautiful state with many pristine resources. Our country deserves a governor in that state with an understanding of just how important it is to preserve these resources for the benefit of the environment and our country. Now our country has a voice from AK that is not interested in sucking all the resources out of that state until it looks like most of the lower 48.

Looks like she'll have to run for senate on her own merits…and lose.

who cares to see this face again!

seeing this woman's pic made my stomach feel funny……

Sounds like most people here get their news from SNL. News flash: Tina Fey is not Sarah Palin nor did Tina Fey do a good job with the character.

enough about her already!!!!!!!!!!

the campaingn is over. lets move on cnn!!!!!!!!

CNN needs someone to perform an exorcism and get rid of this crazy woman. Where is Reverend Muftee when you need him?

HAHAHA that slams the door on Palin and her attempt to sneak into the Senate! She can't wink her eyes or hike her dress hem for this job. Its taken already! Poor Eskimo Princess

It seems things are slipping away from Sarah, left , right and center these days!!!!
Isn't it great not to have to see and hear from Sarah Palin anymore?

Palin? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

sarah – what's that sound?
that is the sound of GOD slamming that door shut!

Why sarah's face again,shouldn't it be the winner on the pic?

And why is this even in print? No one cares, CNN

Ahh yes. Like Palin we will all miss Ted 'The Felon' Stevens…

Now if we could only get the opportunity to 'miss' Palin then we could all be happy.

I bet Palin voted for Begich and OBAMA – YouBetcha!

You know she voted for Obama, so she could "try" and run in 2012.

Now Karl Rove will start tricks with the new elected officials!!

Well at least we got a couple days off of the Palin reporting

We don't care what Palin does anymore, for the rest of time!

YEAH MARK WON!!!!! NOW MRS. LOONEY CANT APPOINT HER SELF TO THE SENATE! THAT IS GREAT WE DONT NEED HER IN WASHINGTON MAKING ANY DECISIONS!!…..

IF FACT, I CAN FEEL HER CAREER DISAPPEARING! GO AWAY PALIN GO AWAY!

I thought Sarah Palin didn't believe a right to privacy existed….

Alaska, meet your next Governor The Honorable Mark Begich.

For God's sake, quit reporting on this ditzy woman
