I think one of the most underappreciated relationships in Palin’s political career is her affinity with Steve Forbes.
I agree! I've always liked Steve Forbes; and while Sarah Palin may not be quite as strong on the "policy wonk details" as Forbes (though that's something she can work on, and improve), I think that in terms of her broad vision she's very much in the same camp philosophically. Call her the female "small-business & moose-hunter" version of Forbes. Heh.
