.....Taken together, the email correspondence underscores Palin's polarizing effect long before she was a ubiquitous figure on the national political stage.
Palin's disgust with the media was apparent as soon as she was tapped to be Sen. John McCain's running mate a decision that happened with a suddenness that seemed to take her and her aides by surprise as much as it did much of the country.
"Can you believe it!" Palin wrote to one aide who had sent her a congratulatory email. "He told me yesterday it moved fast! Pray! I love you."
She was much less in love with the media swarm that came with the nomination. She and aides objected when a blizzard of questions from reporters included queries about her favorite poem and the tanning bed in the governor's mansion. "Arghhhh!" Palin responded, noting she had paid for the tanning bed and was "dismayed at the media."
The darker side of her newfound fame was evident too, as the governor fielded several vicious threats against her life all of which she forwarded to her aides without comment.
At the other end of the spectrum, the messages include many adoring missives from supporters around the country who, even before she joined the 2008 presidential ticket, saw her as a rising star.

SHE BOUGHT A TANNING BED IN A STATE THAT DOES NOT HAVE SUNSHINE! OMG! Sorry for yelling, but that is so unreasonable for her to do that.
[excerpt] CARNEGIE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crivella West Incorporated, an advanced analytics and investigational research company, announced today that it will be making available a searchable database for over 24,000 new emails from former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palins administration that will be released as a result of public record requests originally made over two years ago. Crivella West is currently hosting the 2,544 emails that were released last year at www.crivellawest.net. Crivella West worked with msnbc.com, Mother Jones and Pro Publica in the release of those emails.
Crivella West is involved in this project because of the opportunity to demonstrate its capabilities and advanced methods for high-tech investigations as well as to feature our patented language analytics technology and allow journalists, news organizations and the public to utilize the technology for their benefit as well.
Crivella West also has an ongoing interest in leveling disparities in technology in legal discovery disputes and the access to public records. This particular release of documents by the State of Alaska illustrates some of the barriers in place for journalists and the public when trying to understand and investigate decisions made by elected officials and governmental agencies. Governments failure to adopt current technology and modern methods thwart the long-standing public policy of freedom of information laws and access to public records. When the government participates in the legal process on behalf of the public, the same antiquate processes prevent the government from prosecuting its case to the fullest extent of the law. .............................[end excerpt]

Emphasis mine.
Congratulations, it took a while but you get it.
Now, hopefully, Sarah will announce that she is running for President, and it's game on.
If Sarah doesn't run, we still have to beat the halfrican communist bastard.
Here's a piece he co-authored on Joe Biden during the 2008 Democratic convention and pulled no punches. Read it and you'll discover how corrupt Slo Joe and the entire Biden family are:
Essentially they are saying she brought this on herself.
And they are not finished yet! Soon we will obtain logs of her internet posting history (did she ever click on Drudge or come to the Free Republic website) and an inventory of her curbside trash will get posted somewhere. My prediction is that the smoking gun will be that a stray Gatorade bottle or two didn't make the recycling bin and they will say that Sarah is bad for the environment!
Report from Politico echoes my assessment of Palin’s jui-jitsu skills!

“WE hate her and find countless ways to ding her. Therefore..SHE IS POLARIZING”
Too funny! They created this and now they’re blaming Palin for it???
I’d like to see Bachmann, Palin or Cain. For VP, perhaps Rubio, West or DeMint. Rubio and West are new on the scene; DeMint has been here awhile, but the press ignores him because he’s so rational.
I saw some old blond anchorette on CNN about an hour ago asking the reporter on location in Alaska about the Palin emails (snarky look in her eyes) and he went on to report there was nothing bad.
In fact he sounded like he really admired Sarah Palin from reading her emails — that she truly worked hard for the people of Alaska and was quite surprised by the VP offer from McCain....that the emails would be great material for a book about Palin.
Anchorette: “A before and after” book.
Hardly! It’s will be a great chapter in a book about how the Left Wing media tried to tear her down and fell flat.
It looks like the msm dug a dry well.
I think worse then a dry hole concidering the total lack of venting Obama or just about any other high profile democrat. The double standard is on full display.
I was saving my Palin 2012 bumper sticker for after she announces.
Tah3llwidit, as soon as I get back from DC [no sense in putting my car in imminent danger], I’m sticking that sucker on my back window above the brake light!
Palin / [West?] [Cain?] as long as it’s PALIN!
And I’m going to send her PAC a nice donation when I get back, too. I don’t have the extra money, but ‘this is war against alinskyites’ and I’ll cut back on groceries if I have to.
I think your commitment to a ONE Term Obama is great!!
You Betcha!
We all need to put skin in this “game” for all the marbles.
I agree. They must be sorely disappointed!
“SHE BOUGHT A TANNING BED IN A STATE THAT DOES NOT HAVE SUNSHINE! OMG! Sorry for yelling, but that is so unreasonable for her to do that.”
And, with her own damned money???!!!???
