[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I've always said that Governor Palin's experience at the local level has helped her tremendously, and is actually far more experience than being in Congress itself.

People, including the usual gang of anti-Palin sharks who are circling this thread and will hit F5 to post the usual "She's a quitter" garbage, have always looked down on Palin's local experience, which makes them no different than the elitists snobs who are angry that Palin didn't rise to power under the usual set of circumstances for females in politics (rich hubby/privileged background/slept way to top, etc.)

Excellent article, thanks for the post.

That's a little too long to get on a bumper sticker, but it is oh, so true.
