A great example of an Establishment-busting reformist Conservative leader. And a hottie to boot. ;-D

She sounds good here, and I like the high approval rating. I’m not entirely sure I trust Fred Barnes ‘inside the beltway’ opinion though.

Children : Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper

All of her children's name are a little unusual?

Sarah's a lifetime member of the NRA and enjoys hunting, fishing, Alaska history, and all that Alaska's great outdoors has to offer.

Very sensible indeed!

Hard to say.

Alaska is not high on the Electoral College list.

OTOH, she is a telegenic, intelligent and well-spoken woman.

That could play well to a lot of suburban women who count themselves as Independents or leaning Republican.

Damn it.

I liked her, but now Barnes is singing her praises? Oh well, can’t have it all.

This is interesting. A couple weeks ago in a discussion about VP contenders, I metioned Palin if they wanted a woman. Steele for minority, and I couldn’t think of a Mid-west conservative that would be a good choice.

Now suddenly others are jumping on this bandwagon? hmm.

My brother is confused politically but admits that Conservatives have a lock on good looking women.

They look just fine.


Alaska's new first family stands together at the inaugural in Fairbanks on December 4th, 2006 (Sarah, Todd, Piper, Bristol and Willow). Their son, Track, was at a hockey tournament in Texas and could not attend.

The names reflect the flying, fishing, sledding activities of Alaskan life.
Willow is a town near Anchorage

Well, there are good looking liberal women... but this is what liberalism tends to do to them over time. We'll use Linda Ronstadt for a good example...

Hotness.

Notness.

She eats moose burgers and rides snow machines.

A true Alaskan.

Beautiful family on all counts. Curious if Bristol is possibly adopted? I ask because she bears a resemblance to my son, whom I adopted from Kamchatka, which is just across the Bering Sea

Alaska's Sarah Palin is the GOP's newest star.

People that refer to politicians as "stars" using celebrity like terms in their descriptions is a little unnerving in my mind.
