I rest my case!
If you mean courage, strength, moral fiber and principles, Governor Palin , hands down.
My widowed mother raised 5 kids alone, worked as a CPA and ran a ranch. Taught me how to shoot, ride, dress game, and handle livestock. she was the bravest hardest working person, I have ever known.
I regret Governor Palin has descended into the populist crudity of using testicular references as metaphors for courage. It was a mistake she will likely not make again in public .
