You are comparing raisins and grapefruit, and once again epic fail. Sarah only polls at 36% favorability amongst Alaskans.. interesting???
The Alaska budget heavily depends on dividends from mineral resources, so much so that there are no taxes in Alaska.. there is the Alaska Permanent Fund that gives every Alaska Resident a dividend yearly.. this year it was $1,200 dollars for every women, infant and child. So balancing a budget is infinitely less complicated than the US budget.
First of all she allowed a balanced budget in Wasilla to turn into a multi million dollar deficit..

Palin's oil policy is coming under attack from none other than her former lieutenant governor, Republican Sean Parnell, an ex-legislator and oil company lobbyist whom Palin elevated to governor when she resigned. Parnell and Republican legislators maintain that the oil tax increase Palin championed, called Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share, is seriously hindering further development of the oil and gas industry here and is hurting the state's economy.
Republican leaders of the Alaska Legislature are also critical of Palin's strategy for pursuing a natural gas pipeline to the Lower 48, saying it is a fantasy costing the state up to a $500 million subsidy. The main advocates in the Legislature of keeping the Palin-era oil and gas initiatives in place are the Democrats who worked with her administration on them, but who don't have much else good to say about her these days.

The reality is that she makes a whole lot of noise, but needs scrutiny.. but the right needs a demagogue to follow along with.
