Some of life's greatest opportunities come unexpectedly. And this is certainly the case today.
I never really set out to be involved in public affairs, much less to run for this office. My mom and dad both worked at the local elementary school. And my husband and I, we both grew up working with our hands. I was just your average hockey mom in Alaska, raising...

We're busy raising our kids. I was serving as the team mom and coaching some basketball on the side. I got involved in the PTA and then was elected to the city council, and then elected mayor of my hometown, where my agenda was to stop wasteful spending, and cut property taxes, and put the people first.
...If our state wanted a bridge, I said we'd build it ourselves. Well, it's always, though, safer in politics to avoid risk, to just kind of go along with the status quo. But I didn't get into government to do the safe and easy things. A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not why the ship is built. -- Sarah Palin
While the democrats were at their self-absorbed best acting like sourpusses, whiners, and victims, Hurrican Sarah was bearing down on the dems version of New Orleans, 2008-style.
How does one attempt to equate John McCain to George Bush when it also means equating Sarah Palin to Dick Cheney? Heh. I know, I know, they both think drilling is a pretty good idea, and shooting is good fun, but I don't think a lot of people are going to see this election as being about Bush III any more.
The "party of change", incidentally, picked Biden. Talk about business as usual. People who want change are going to have a hard time seeing Obama as anything but a Chicago machine cog wedded to a lifetime east coast leftie.
One of the interesting themes at play will be that this Sarah Palin, who lives life to the fullest, truly does love America. I think people want a leader who loves America. Not would be leaders who are only proud of it when they get the nomination.
