    <![CDATA[In 2006 an 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 ethical 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.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book isn't going to win any awards, but it is informative and (my favorite) easy to read. The author lists all of her sources. If you are looking for dirt, your aren't going to find it here. You will find Sarah's background and accomplishments. Accomplishments? I know many of you in the far left camp think she has none, read this and you will see a successful woman who even won over democrats in Alaska by taking on corruption in the Republican Party.  <br/>Frankly I'm tired of the mindless mantra about how stupid Sarah Palin is. Ask yourself, what kind of person would think the U.S. Governor with the highest approval rating is stupid. If that is you, you have been listening to the far left press for too long. They hate her because the press loves elitists that went to Columbia, Harvard, Yale, etc. She may be down to earth, but she is effective. The one thing that I like about Sarah the most is that she believes being elected or appointed to public office means you serve the people--not to serve yourself and gather accolades from the press.]]></body>
