Among the press covering her in Alaska. From the HuffPo:

A reporter for the Anchorage daily, Gregg Erickson, even did an online chat with the Washington Post, in which he revealed that Palin’s approval rating in the state was not the much-touted 80%, but 65% and sinking — and that among journalists who followed her it might be in the “teens.”

Good news. Now we can discount everything we read about the governor from the local Alaska press. I hear her approval rating among polar bears, caribou, and moose in the region is even lower.

Here’s more:

His paper found a number of leading Republican officeholders in the state who mocked Palin’s qualifications. “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?” said Lyda Green, the president of the State Senate, a Republican from Palin’s hometown of Wasilla. “Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?”

Doesn’t the far left understand that conservatives — the base of the Republican party — do not care what Alaska Republicans think of her? Alaska Republicans symbolize everything that we think is wrong with the Republican party. It should be noted that Lyda Green and Sarah Palin have a less than positive relationship, stemming, at least in part, from an unfortunate appearance by Gov. Palin on a local radio show where the DJs went after Green and Palin didn’t respond in the way she should have.
