I can remember the announcement to this day. People went wild with excitement, and I said Thank GOD he chose her.
She was the only reason I stayed engaged, and my story is the same as so many others.
When I saw the wheels coming off during the campaign, it sickened and gave me awareness as to what we face daily.
Sarah played her part in history exposing what needed to be exposed. And for that, I shall be ever grateful for what she went through to do that.
Palin laid the groundwork for the Tea Party and the Trump platform. History will be very kind to her once the fog of partisan politics is lifted and people look at this time objectively 50+ years from now.
“I can remember the announcement to this day.”
I think I cried when she walked onstage and began to speak. I remember the FR thread in the hours before. IIRC, one FReeper was monitoring flights online — where they were coming from and going to — and posted that Palin was the one. Exciting day.
