I have to disagree. 
At a time of all time high oil prices, Palin, and Parnell, took hundreds of millions in federal recovery dollars and grew government well beyond what we could otherwise afford on our own. 
As long as everyone got what they wanted they were happy. If we blame anyone, we should blame everyone.
To be resolved is the growth of state government and its workforce from 2008 to present. Walker campaigned on and was elected on the promise to cut government 30%. This, and the dividend veto sealed his fate. Dunleavy will be the next governor.
