Time Person of the Year 2008 Runner-up Sarah Palin
"In the beginning, she winked. "I was just your average hockey mom," she told us by way of introduction, which was a charming diversion from the reality of the most astonishing political debut in modern times. Sarah Palin did indeed show she could play politics as a contact sport; her motherhood did become central to her message. But average? Not in your wildest dreams."

"By then, more Americans had decided to tune in to her speech than watched the Olympics' opening ceremonies in Beijing. She emerged onto the stage, and the arena roared its welcome as if she were some kind of conquering hero. She looked out and smiled as she stared her critics down. She sassed them. She stabbed them. She derided the "elites" whose opinions meant nothing to her."

Me too! She's good, she's damn good! I hope she returns to the national stage at least by 2012!

Palin is a runner up for People's "Person of the year". YAY! Great article, would recomend to read.
Also Palin had some issues this week with the FAA and Japanese airplanes were not being able to land due to personal shortages. The flights are worth $4 million in business for Fairbanks
Lastly, Palin spoke about the seven percent cut she want to do spending in Alaska.
But let's remember something here -- a black man ran for president and WON (at least that's what the numbers say: discuss alternative viewpoints at your leisure), that trumps the little lady who could but didn't quite make it to VP
Now if McCainPalin had won and they still picked Obama, then we'd all have reason to be upset.
(Some of you still have reason to be upset, but not all of us.)
Make an exception. This is actually a pretty great story about our Sarah. It really rips the spittle-flecked panty-sniffers on the Left.
