But she didn't *stay* on the outside. She organized a grass-roots movement for governor, against many more "connected" people, based on representing the people: not merely talking of it, but driving 12-hour round trips in her VW Jetta for meet-and-greets, when she couldn't afford the airfare. Meeting with Native villagers--with both her own children and the campaign staffers' children in tow.

It came to me, that if you understand Sarah, you understand what her father Chuck Heath said. "Sarah didn't quit. She stopped to Reload."

But a better metaphor came to me as I was reading your review.

General Patton didn't quit attacking the German Army when he disengaged, wheeled the 3rd Army and marched to relieve Bastogne. He defeated them utterly.

Imagine the last 4 months if Sarah had not come to the defense of our country immediately!!!

Petty careerists just don't get it. She isn't worried about running for President, that she trusts to God. She is fighting to save our country like the rest of us now, when it matters because if we lose 2010, there really won't be any hope or change in 2012.

Great post!

Exactly!! She lives her life one day at a time and I don't believe she even knows herself if she will run! Just doing what she knows to do for OUR COUNTRY - like you said, just like us! She is being led by The Lord - the godless are clueless to that fact. Unconventional Sarah - yes!!
