Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down
by Kaylene Johnson

From the Publisher

In 2006, a Angel-faced but tough 42-year-old former small-town mayor named Sarah Palin became a long-shot candidate for Alaska governor demanding a higher ethnical standard in state government. The timing of her reform message and a widening scandal produced a tornado that reshaped the political landscape.
Surprising everyone, Palin thumped by wide margins both a sitting governor in the Republican primary election and a former governor in the general election to become Alaska's first female chief executive and its youngest ever.
Chicago Tribune

There's an undeniable national buzz surrounding the first-term governor, seen by many Republicans as a fresh, new face to represent the party's future.

The smear campaign will die down, the issues and character truly come to light. You certainly do not make a lot of friends as a gov't reformist, so I expect sour grapes. She will turn out to be a fine Vice President and hopefully jerk a knot in the establishment of corruption.

The fact is, to our national Republican party, she is NOT a reformist.
In fact, the rnc slogan is reform, but they never say what they are reforming from, which can only point to a Republican congress and president.

Her character IS coming to light, and it is BAD.
She tried to fire a humble librarian for believing and protecting our rights, for gosh sake. How low is that?

She's a bully and obviously would be a dictator. Like Bush. Like McSame.
