Palin was successful before all these people decided that they know better. She had an 88% approval in Aug 2008. She certainly doesn’t need them to “tell her how it’s done”.
Ain't that the truth.
It just galls me that people find so much to criticize her about, when her personal life story of achievement is like something out of a novel. It's exceedingly rare to find someone who has achieved so much, on their own steam, in less than half a century.
Her personal record easily dwarfs those of any number of her nearest competitors by orders of magnitude, yet for some, she's little more than a goof who can see Russia from her back porch.
Can you imagine Palin and Reagan comparing notes over tea? I'm sure they'd be laughing their heads off, the whole time.
