-- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is as complex as the place she calls home. Plucked from near-political obscurity to become Sen. John McCain's running mate, Palin either has pitch-perfect political instincts or has benefited from a spectacular run of luck that has landed her in the ultimate right place at the right time.
It is easy to see why McCain was drawn to her; their political resumes have much in common.

Caption to the picture. “A HUNTING TROPHY: In this undated photo, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and one of her daughters pose with a caribou she shot. A woman in an exceedingly macho state, Palin has not always been taken seriously. But opponents cross her at their peril.”
Let's see: She's pro-life, pro-2A, pro-fiscal reponsibility, pro-small gov't, and anti-corruption.
Hawker doesn't ask a "real" question, he asks an asinine question.
Alaskan Caribou
The Hawaiian candidatus ratus horribilous 
[speaker in a subdued voice] "here we have a rare glimpse at candidatus ratus horribilous as they partake in their feeding ritual. Notice how the dominant male captures the attention of the pride, the demeanor of the alpha female and the rapt attention of the beta female."
The lefty media is just getting warmed up.
As it becomes more and more clear that she is a real threat to the coronation of Obama-The-Beloved they will pull out all stops.
It is going to be a vicious 9 weeks from here to November 4.
I am glad they showed it. Most liberals don’t know where food comes from, they think it all comes from the Grocery store. If a liberal had to kill food to eat, they would all starve.
I see her hanging out on MySpace some.
Thanks for clearing that up, Captain Obvious! (The Reuters reporter, not you.)
I don’t share the enthusiasm for Palin that many on Free Republic do. I think her choice was a weak attempt to pander to female voters with no regard as to her qualifications to assume the presidency should McCain be unable to complete his term. Frankly, I doubt whether the majority of Americans are ready to have such an inexperienced woman one heartbeat away from the presidency, especially when there are other, better choices within the Republican Party.
To me, Palin’s choice practically guarantees an Obama/Biden victory in November. The Democrats will carry (moving roughly from west to east) Hawaii, California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island, Virginia, the District of Columbia and Florida. It’s also possible North Carolina and Louisiana will go to the democrats. On election night, if Virginia, North Carolina and Florida go early for the Democrats, you can go to bed knowing the landslide has begun.
Get out of that Limo and keep your hands where I can see them!
If you're talking about the picture at the top of the thread, that is not a moose - it's a caribou.
Similar to Elk, but not as gamey tasting. Very lean, so you have to add quite a bit of fat to your hamburgers when grinding up the meat so the burgers will stay together.
Why does that Caribou have Hairplugs?? Nice shot!
Pray for W, Palin and Our Freedom Fighters
Whatever.
She says she likes mooseburgers. Give me a break.
LOL!!!!!! Keep up the good work!
Ha! Only with voting fraud and lots of sneaky dirty tricks.
McCAIN/PALIN, the REAL CHANGE AMERICA WANTS.
The rest of the country isn’t like Mississippi. We will vote for a woman provided it’s the right woman. This the right woman with experience, a moral compass, courage and a love for her country.
I heard a moose bit obama’s sister.
The moose is the democratic party of she gets done with them ... (but there goes all the peta votes)
