May I suggest that any book covering Sarah's past include a facsimile of her Birth Certificate on the normally blank page of the Title page! I believe this will sent a powerful message about who she is, and who The Usurper isn't!

Thanks for the post. I am so taken with the Sarah Palin of today I forgot about her past and origins in politics.

I always find it not a great sign when the stature of someone alone, doesn't radiate off more or less, they are capable of leading. That they are qualified to lead. Touting someones City Council experience as if it even matters in terms of being POTUS/CinC is just as odd and pathetic as the current man in office touting his role as a community organizer being of any weight.

I agree with 90% of Mrs. Palin's politics....but she just radiates off her, "not ready" to be POTUS/CinC to me. And we are learning right now how the office of POTUS/CinC is not the place to get on the job experience or to grow into the role of leadership.

There was quite a bit to the sales tax proposal. Palin's idea was to use the sales tax to lower property taxes; dollar for dollar. Wasilla is a strip mall community; Alaskans come there to shop from more rural & residential areas rather than drive 50 more miles into Anchorage. So there was money to be made with a small sales tax and everybody wanted prop tax relief.

From what I remember, the local people didn't trust the other council members as they figured if a new sales tax came about, then there would not be any prop tax cuts anyway; the council would push Sarah aside and keep both taxes. Palin promised the people that she wouldn't let that occur and her word was good. People then started paying attention to her.

Why is it so hard for politicals to understand that all the populace wants is honesty & good government? Palin really did so much for the state of Alaska. Alaskans would take her back in a minute because they trust what they hear when she speaks. Her record stands on it's own; no joke.

Brilliant post.

Liberals like to ask is Palin “qualified to be President.” The question the republicans need to ask is “is Obama qualified for a second term”. I say no!

This is not breaking news.
