Sarah Palin does not have parents who were a senator or governor or a big-city mayor. She did not attend an Ivy League school or even a private school. She had broken fingers from working on a fishing boat. She is everywoman.
She went into government armed only with her integrity and her faith and her courage and her tenacity.
Modern pundits will tell you that you have to be part of the system. That we have to put up with petty (and not-so-petty) corruption. That you have to be part of the party elite to win higher office.
Sarah has proven them all wrong. She is EXACTLY what the Founders envisioned - the citizen reprentative of the people. But she goes well beyond the Founders with that vision.
People are fed up with the corruption, but have no idea how to fight it. Sarah shows them how. Stand up for your values. Resign when the system prevents fighting corruption. Never compromise your values and your beliefs. And take on the corrupt power structure head-on with integrity.
Can Sarah take on the bigger vultures in the DC power structure? ONLY IF WE HELP HER. The bullshitters are out in droves. WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM ON. McCain is a transitional figure for the GOP. Palin and Jindal and others like them are the future of the GOP. It is up to us to decide if they will become the future of our country.
Sarah Palin is a normal American.
John McCain is a warrior and war hero.
Joe Biden and Barack Obama are life-long practitioners of politics. They have no diversity in the American experience outside politics.
McCain + Palin = a great choice for America

I agree with you completely. We have to help these leaders have backup support by electing good people to sit in the halls of congress.
