And, I must say, it seems quite appropriate that I have achieved the rank of "little trouble girl" while posting about Sarah
Ya know, I should reintroduce myself. I spent the first 3/4 of my life in the NY/NJ area and then moved to Alaska. I worked at a TV station* where I was exposed to a lot of Alaska politics--one of the reasons I left (to go back to NJ--HA!). I left just as the 'troopergate' thing was breaking.
Alaskan's really are on a first name basis. Despite its size, it really is a small place--everything happens in a very small area so you really know all of what's going on. During the govenor's race, we (the state) really got to know the three candidates. And honestly, this was the first sane gov's election in Alaska in the time I was there. Lindauer = carpetbagger, Frank was a joke, an asshole and a failure--told the people what they wanted to hear and got elected. But Frank certainly made it a lot easier for Sarah.
So this is really exciting for me. Sarah's name has been discussed for months but never really seriously. I was surprised when it wasn't on the pundits 'short list'. I was NOT surprised when I found out (here) that she was nominated.
Sarah Palin has a pair (at least) of brass cajones. She would make an excellant VP. I would not be concerned if John kicked it. Sarah could step in without a problem. As I said earlier, but for the abortion thing, I think she would have been a kick ass VP for Obama. Think about that!
