A fairly balanced look at Sarah Palin from her families point of view. I loved the last sentence:

‘Sarah doesn’t really wear make-up. She’s much more at home with a gun than a mascara wand.’

Enjoy

“John McCain – a frail 72-year-old” ?????

clearly the author is spinning the democrat rhetoric
or has not seen mccain, he isn’t frail

who will become America’s first female vice-president if when the Republicans win November’s election, is hardly your typical politician.

“First, there is the snarling grizzly bear skin draped over the sofa in her Anchorage office.”

Why do I have the feeling that Obama and Biden don’t worry her too much?!

I quit reading after they said John McCain was a frail 72 year old.

Check out the DU homepage. Front page news is that Palin’s son isn’t hers but her daughters.

Have they lost what little minds they had in the first place??

Here’s part of an interview i found on the net:


Did being younger and being a woman gives you a better perspective on politics and government than a more traditional politician?

What’s more of a challenge for me over the years being in elected office has been more the age issue rather than a gender issue. I’ve totally ignored the issues that have potentially been affecting me when it comes to gender because I was raised in a family where, you know, gender wasn’t going to be an issue. The girls did what the boys did. Apparently in Alaska that’s quite commonplace. You’re out there hunting and fishing. My parents were coaches, so I was involved in sports all my life. So I knew that as woman I could do whatever the men were doing. Also that’s just part of Alaskan life.
But the age issue I think was more significant in my career than the gender issue. Your resume not being as fat as your opponent’s in a race, perhaps [but] being able to capitalize on that… being able to to use that in campaigns — I don’t have 30 years of political experience under my belt … that’s a good thing, that’s a healthy thing. That means my perspective is fresher, more in touch with the people I will be serving. I would use that as an advantage. I’ve certainly never been part of a good old boy club. That I would use in a campaign. And that’s been good.

Something’s been bothering me since I first saw the photo of Sarah visiting the wounded soldier in Germany. Do they really have to wear uniforms in bed? That seems a little harsh.

They are not the accoutrements normally associated with an American vice-presidential candidate. First, there is the snarling grizzly bear skin...

Apparently never watched The Wind and the Lion.

Why John McCain's beauty queen running mate has a grizzly bear on her office wall.

There is one headline you'll NEVER see written about a DemocRAT candidate. Not a female one anyway.

Obviously, she’s not going to get the vegan or PETA vote.

Indeed, should anything happen to her running mate John McCain – a frail 72-year-old

Gee, no bias there.

Wondering when the Sarah Palin (similar to Chuck Norris) “Fact List” will start circulating.

It’s gotten that out of hand already.:)

I’ve got a gut level feeling that Palin is going to be an exotic novelty for most of Europe. Alaskans are a culture of their own. Even driving on their highways you see that they live with the granite edge of reality. It’s almost like they are a distilled American, still having what we saw in our grandparents or great grand parents that had survived by subsistence hunting. Friendly, non-frivolous, and hard. Most of us could not mentally hack their winters for one, and outside of N. Skandinavia and remote Canada, they are unique.

Palin has a grizzly skin in her office? It’s unfair she gets to keep it while Obama had to get rid of his Che Guevara poster.
