I'm 3/4 way through it ... and enjoying the journey. It isn't the political tome I thought it would be, its sort of a page turner, almost an adventure novel. Easy to read, fun to read.

What I'm becoming amazed at as I read it is the parallels between what was happening in Alaska when she started out and what is going on now. She ran as a Republican, but ran against Republicans. She went after corruption with a vengeance ... and there is plenty of that around today! She basically ran a "change" campaign (as she said, before it was in vogue). She went to the kitchen tables and grass roots ... and if you look carefully, she's doing the same thing right now ... same (successful) strategy and tactics. With the Tea Party Movement out there, she's in a "perfect storm" if it all holds together. I'm still thinking Landslide in 2010 and Palin in 2012. She's obviously a RED-BLODDED American, not a BLUE BLOOD like we've had to vote for in the past.

I "feel" better after a session with the book ... that "says it all" for me. Can't tell you "why" ... just a "good feeling" and there's been a shortage of that lately.

I think that “Perfect Storm” may indeed be coming together.

The decline of the MSM.
Popular revulsion of the intrusiveness of government.
The election of Zero exposing the extent of the cockroach infestation in American society.
RINOs and milquetoast Republican candidates.
The list is extensive...

I finished it yesterday. I wholeheartedly agree: “she’s doing the same thing right now”.
