Notable WRT her stance on health care coverage? Hcobb (talk) 17:51, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- No. The bizarre geography of the area (and the fact that the Knik Arm Bridge, which would have provided a practical route to Anchorage, has not been built) is the only reason that she went to a Canadian hospital. Horologium (talk) 23:00, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
New TV show
Following her 'Alaska' TV show, she is signed to do a second TV show:
- www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/sarah-palin-host-amazing-america-article-1.1542245
Headline: Sarah Palin takes another shot at reality TV with 'Amazing America'
Text: "The show will highlight the 'red, wild and blue' lifestyle of hunters, shooters and fisherman. The weekly program will air on the Sportsman Channel, which has so far ordered 12 episodes that will begin airing in April."
I'm a fan and will be watching! FYI, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 17:02, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Could be better phrased:
"One month after McCain announced Palin as his running mate, she was viewed both more favorably and unfavorably among voters than her opponent, Delaware Senator Joe Biden."
By which I mean I have no idea what this means.
Death panels yet again. Polifact version
I dont feel that fact that Palin's 'death panel' comments were named as 'lie of the year' by polifact warrants inclusion in this article. Polifact is just another news org and their 'lie of the year' is nothing of particular note. I have reverted Jimmuldrew's change diff on that basis. Further, i dont think that this change diff is any better. It seems we have had this discussion many times before, and yet here we are again, with the same editor as before. Jim, i think if you want to add this change you should at least explain why you think the consensus view is wrong or has changed. Bonewah (talk) 21:27, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- I agree. This is all covered in great detail at the sub-article. The first edit was full of weasel words ("some believe" and such). The next edit (first diff above) is simply a reference to a non-notable op-ed piece. The last edit appears to be nothing more than the author expressing their own opinion, without giving any context, counterarguments, or attributing it to anybody. I think its best to leave this all in the sub-article, because a short summary here is all that's needed to attract interested people there, whereas a long summary full of personal opinions is more likely to discourage them.

Jimmuldrow is topic-banned here, FYI. See [1]. Hydriotaphia (talk) 21:45, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
Alma Mater
I propose that we list Palin's alma mater as the school from which she actually received a degree. This would conform to the commonly understood notion of "alma mater." Listing multiple schools, that she may have only attended briefly, is being done for the purpose of emphasizing an unfocused youth, which seems NPOV. Mister Tog (talk) 23:23, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
