Smyrna woman beat Palin in pageant
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | September 08, 2008 | Dan Chapman

Posted on 09/08/2008 12:37:40 PM PDT by Plutarch

Smyrna’s Maryline Blackburn won the 1984 Miss Alaska beauty pageant. The second runner-up? Sarah Palin, nee Heath – the GOP’s vice-presidential nominee.

“My first impression was, ‘Oh my god, she’s gorgeous, she’ll probably be the one who wins,” Blackburn, a recording artist, recalled Monday afternoon.

Second impression?

“She had this look about her, this look in her eyes that tells you she’s calculating, figuring out ‘How am I going to win this competition,’ ” Blackburn said. “There was a determination there.”

And that became evident when she tripped you during the evening gown competition?

“No,” Blackburn laughed. “Sarah would never do anything like that. In pageants, there’s pettiness and the little claws come out. But if Sarah was anything like that, she hid it very well.”

Instead, the flute player from small town Wasilla, who was Miss Congeniality in the pageant, wrote Blackburn a lovely note on the back of a group photo at pageant’s end: “I do love you. You’re more admired than even you know. And please keep God Number One. He’s got great things for you, baby. Love, Sarah Heath.”

“I do love you. You’re more admired than even you know. And please keep God Number One. He’s got great things for you, baby. Love, Sarah Heath.”
***The MSM will find proof of some kind of salacious scandal in that note. Thanks for posting, this looks like it might be a fun thread...

She is quite nice lady as an Obama supporter. She doesn’t like Sarah’s speech as much as we do, but she doesn’t say anything that might create controversy either.

Too bad she's voting for Obama...she seemed like such a level headed person. And despite that flaw, she is attractive.

She is a professional musician now, and if what is on her website is indication, she has a great voice. Lovely lady.

She asked her to keep God Number One...oooohhhh the humanity of it all...isn’t that like showing a vampire a mirror or wearing garlic or something to the lunitc left...

WoW, everyday, I learn something more about this woman that I love...gracious, is the word that comes to my mind.

So when do the DUmmies start demanding to see the note, and when then will they say that the note was obviously forged.

I don't think it's bad at all. In one fell swoop, this story shows that Sarah Palin is (a) not a cheater, (b) competitive, (c) gracious in defeat, and (d) someone who a black women, being an Obama supporter, came to her defense and effectively squelched the pageant rumors.

Sarah Palin probably rose a few more notches today, if that is even possible. :)

Once more, the smearmeisters look like fools. They are taking nice people who aren’t even part of the campaign and dragging them through the mud.

LOL.

Note that as far as the forward thinkin' members of the MSM have gotten is to discover that there may be "Eskimos" in AK in addition to the Haoles. MSM are sooo clueless.

She may be an Obama supporter, but that alone won't stop her from becoming persona non grata to the DUmmies.

Also not reported was the fact that Maryline moved to Alaska to compete in a Miss america sanctioned pageant because she knew her chances were slim in a her more populous home state of Michigan.

She must be an Eskimo, since I was told by a black rapper that there ain’t no black people in Alaska.

That's good she did squelch the rumors...it's still just a shame she doesn't see Obama for the fraud he truly is.

...and BTW, I'm a cat owner, too. :-)

Indeed. Given the flak she’s about to receive, she may well vote a straight Republican ticket before all is said and done. Well, probably not, but she has shown more class that 95% of the “top tier” pundits in America.

Entering DU mode:

“I do love you. You’re more admired than even you know. And please keep God Number One. He’s got great things for you, baby. Love, Sarah Heath.”

What an EVIL person!
