It's so sad to realize WE have an elitist section to OUR "party."

The Country Club GOP elitists were always dominant, except when Reagan rode through.

Governor Palin will do likewise and put to shame the aristocrats whether R or D.

I certainly hope so, and will back her 100% in her efforts. I identify with her, and I believe in her all the more because of that. I've gone through some of this in my life, and it's wrong that ANY of us should have to have any gender, status, or positivity obstacles. By positivity obstacles I mean those that are skeptical or critical of you because you have genuine optimism in your soul. That quality USED to be a cornerstone in the Republican Party. Now, it seems to only peek out when Conservatives "open their coats." THIS is sad, but true.

Since I also share (or used to) the same general accent to my voice, I know that people tend to look down on those that speak "Fargo-esque." As much as people do not want to admit it, too many episodes of "Golden Girls" where Rose was the sweet village idiot; and as I mentioned before, too many that saw the movie "Fargo" have formulated their opinions of those from the North. Like or or not, those that speak with our accent have the permanent casting of "stupid" as our mental profile. To me...having come from the North, I KNOW nothing could be further from the truth. Never assume the loving decency of naivety to equal stupidity. I wouldn't trade all the honesty-innocence and superb work ethic I was brought up with for all the designer dresses, beautiful homes, hot cars, and lavish lifestyles you could ever give me. I believe this IS EXACTLY the kind of people we NEED in government...and we need them so badly.

I hope Sarah will do us all the honor of the gift of decency she could bring to this Nation.
