Breath of Fresh Air: Sarah Palin

Well, now it's the republicans turn to be giddy. I think I have some idea of they way liberals felt about Obama... because Sarah Palin has electrified the republican ticket somewhat like the way Obama rallies people. But that's about where the similarity ends!


Sarah Palin is all that I admire in a woman.


1. She is a loving mother, and doesn't try to hide the significance of being one.

2. She admires and respects her husband. I sure respect and admire mine, but it has become uncommon among women.

3. She is down-to-earth. She doesn't have to talk about understanding "the average American" - SHE IS ONE.

4. She is tough without being mean. She treats her career like good mothers try to treat their kids. Fair & loving, but tough when necessary.

5. Practical. Just because you can spend money on ridiculous things doesn't mean you should. The money can be put to better use elsewhere.

6. Credible. It's hard to imagine Sarah screwing someone over. I'm not saying she'll never let us down, because nobody is perfect. But she strikes me as the type who would always do her best to do the right thing.

7. Feminine. She is not a man. She doesn't try to be one. She is able to be decisive and in control without trying to be masculine to accomplish it.

Overall, she's likable. She embodies the American spirit. And in a place where change is unlikely (Washington, DC), I think she just might shake things up a bit. So, yeah, we're pretty excited.

What do you think of her?
