She also defeated both a former Governor and a popular incumbent Governor.

Which is an admirable task, however: considering that she accomplished that with a voter base of only 183,259 (votes actually cast) does not necessarily mean that Sarah Palin is automatically Jack the Giant Killer.

Consider the classic 'bum of the month club' which applies to the sport of boxing, once a boxer wins the Championship, it sometimes develops that their agent steers them to easy wins over unknown contenders, which keeps their name in the headlines, establishes a record of wins/knockouts for the Champ, but that cannot be considered the same as going out and taking on someone with the skills of an Ali, Holmes, Foreman, Holyfield, Tyson, etc.

I'm not saying that Sarah isn't capable of knocking out someone like 'Kid' 0bama, far from it. But the fact of the matter is, her resume', be it viewed in the perspective of boxing or any other analogy, is a little thin. There is no way to pump that up into anything more than it is.
