"The ruling National Liberation Party presidential candidate, Laura Chinchilla, celebrates after winning the general elections in San Jose, Costa Rica, late Sunday."
I say this victory helps pave the way for a Palin victory in the 50 states in 2012 and if Palin were smart she would have Chinchilla tour with her on the campaign trail, especially in CA, AZ, NM, TX, and Florida.

If you want to pick a way-paver, wouldn't a serious heavyweight like Maggie Thatcher be more appropriate?

The NLP is the far-left party of Costa Rica.

Palin can’t show up in public with a Chinchilla. Those PETA whackos will throw paint all over it.

I doubt that Sarah needs your Latin American Socialist buddy to campaign for her in 2012.
What next, do want her to campaign with Hugo Chavez?

Yes, because there has never been a female head of state before, anywhere, ever.
Pity Sarah couldn’t be the first to break through this glass ceiling.

HUH???
The PLN is a far left party, an official member of the Socialist International (that’s not just an expression, they are formally and explicitly a party within the Socialist International).
Why would Sarah want anything to do with them, and why would they have anything to do with Sarah?
It will not and should not ever happen.

Judging by the comments on this thread, you made a real oopsie by posting this thread (and for gushing over a left-wing election victor).
Serious bummer, dude. Better luck next time.

Paves way for Palin? I think Margaret Thatcher did that about 30 years ago.The Iron Lady....Even though their politics and economic views would be different, i'm surprised that you forgot about Golda Mier. She was a tough old grandmother.

Her party may be Leftist, but Chinchilla is (i) fiercely anti-abortion, (ii) fiercely anti-same-sex-marriage, (iii) tough on crime, (iv) pro-free-trade, and (v) in favor of keeping the Catholic Church as the established churchnof Costa Rica. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Chinchilla
She sonds like she has a lot more in common with Palin than with Obama.

Hmmmm ..?? I don’t think Sarah Palin needs ANYBODY to pave anything for her .. she’s capable of paving her own way.
And .. There are women who head Argentina and Germany; so Sarah is already in good company.

Israel (Golda meir), India (Indira Gandhi) and UK (Margaret Thatcher) have every one beat from as far back as 50 years.

And Bhutto.
She wouldn’t even be the first one in the Americas - Bachelet and Kirchner come to mind, there are probably others escaping me right now.
