- "Hockey mom": true for a few years
- "PTA mom": true years ago when her first-born was in elementary school, not since
- "NRA supporter": absolutely true
- Social conservative: mixed. Opposes gay marriage, BUT vetoed a bill that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships (said she did this because it was unconsitutional).
- Pro-creationism: mixed. Supports it, BUT did nothing as Governor to promote it.
- "Pro-life": mixed. Knowingly gave birth to a Down's syndrome baby BUT declined to call a special legislative session on some pro-life legislation.
- "Experienced": Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska. No legislative experience other than City Council. Little hands-on supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city administrator to run town of about 5,000.
- Political maverick: not at all
- Gutsy: absolutely!
- Open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets. Not good at explaining actions.
- Has a developed philosophy of public policy: no
- "A Greenie": no. Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.
- Fiscal conservative: not by my definition!
- Pro-infrastructure: No. Promoted a sports complex and park in a city without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system. Built streets to early 20th centurystandards.
- Pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on residents.
- Pro-small government: No. Oversaw greatest expansion of city government in Wasilla’s history.
- Pro-labor/pro-union. No. Just because her husband works union doesn't make her pro-labor. I have seen nothing to support any claim that she is pro-labor/pro-union.
