We know the outlines—the moose-hunting mom who juggles BlackBerrys and kids. But what does she believe? The real Sarah Palin.
John McCain was not her dream pick. Only a year ago, when the Republican primaries were just beginning, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told NEWSWEEK that she wasn't enthusiastic about anyone in the GOP field. McCain was languishing at 7 percent in the polls. Mike Huckabee was reduced to playing his electric bass to get attention. Palin, driving with a NEWSWEEK reporter along the highway from Anchorage to Wasilla, said she could understand why the country was enthralled by the race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. "When you talk about the Republican Party needing appealing candidates, darn right they do!" she said. "The Democrats, whether you like them or not … there is some dynamic there, and it's something that the Republicans I think have lacked for some time."
Palin had a lot on her mind in summer, with the kids out of school and a state to run, and didn't think she'd have time to focus on the race for a while. "I'm not overly excited yet," she said. "I will probably do what every American does and that's really get plugged in, tuned in to what's going on, when the field is set and that means there will be someone who stands out."

Ya think Newsweek may be trying to send a subliminal message about what they think of real conservatives, like us...and The Barracuda?
Newsweek and everyone connected with it should be indicted under the RICO statutes.
Obvious the gun could be a club, the denim shirt an animal hide.
The paleolithic media continues to be a parody of itself.
Seeing that picture only makes me even more hopelessly in love.
Speaking of magazines, I was in Walgreens this morning on a mission to turn around magazines with O’s pics on them and someone had already beat me to it. Oh, and be sure to hide Michael Moore’s Guide to the Election.
Newsweak really puts an “S” before hit piece.
I agree 100%. Her husband is one really lucky "dude".
Trying to damn the lady by faint praise, with a mocking undertone.
It won’t work. Wilma Flintstone is made of better stuff than that.

Love it! LOL bttt
Funny, but after Duncan Hunter dropped out, and until Governor Palin was selected, I was not for any of the candidates either.
If the McCain/Palin ticket wins, I hope the American people will keep our vice president out of a small, locked room, and in the midst of the judgement calls made INSIDE the oval office. If not, may the pit bull take off it’s lipstick!
Hey, TexasCajun,
All I get from the link for the gazebo story is
“The requested document does not exist on this server. “
Maybe something is dodgy with my computer/internet link.
I’d love to read it out, so could you double-check the link?
Thanks in advance!
And apologies if “the short is between my ears”!
And he can't understand why the country doens't know what he believes or stands for. Even after being the most-discussed person on the news for well over the year, the only thing the nation knows about the man is he wants to change something. According to the Fox News biograqphy on Obama, his classmates had no clue who he was. Apparently he attended class about as much as he attnded the US Senate.
On the other hand, the nation felt they knew Sarah Palin after one short speech.
Who cares about the article, what’s she shooting with?
Funny thing is they did a piece on Women in Power, and Sarah was featured in a very positive light.
Doesn’t that KOS fruit work for Newsweek?
We know these hit pieces are going to continue until the election.
