An email received from a long-time Alaskan read:

Oh yes, if you saw Sarah Palin's acceptance speech at the Republican convention, then you saw the real Sarah - that was her speech, that was her style, those were her words, I heard a reporter say that 'someone in the McCain camp wrote her a good speech' - well I would say that was 90% her own words. She is awesome and I can't say enough good things about her - she is one tough cookie - when big oil was going to push her around here, they found out she stood her ground. She raised taxes on big oil by 3% and they spent millions to get a California ad agency to discredit her and to turn the Alaskan voters against her - obviously didn't work, she is getting our natural gas pipeline going (which governor candidates had been promising for the last 15 years) but she has gotten it going in 2 years - and again big oil was asked to bid on the gas project, but said 'they didn't have to' and she awarded the bid to a Canadian firm - big oil tried to get the legislature to throw out her process, but our legislature backed her. She also broke the back of the sleaziest oil lobby company that ever existed - Veco - they are in jail for bribery, and 3 of our legislators are in jail for accepting those bribes. I could go on & on, I'm a big fan of hers. She is the 'real deal' and is actually honest, has ethics, values and integrity. So I hope you pay attention to her! She could actually make a difference in WashDC. Either way Alaska wins - with her in DC or by getting her back in Alaska.

This is great! I lived in the B.C. bush for four years and she is definitely my style!

That alone explains why they're so terrified of her that they'll do anything to destroy her. When she gets to Washington and figures out how many of them are in deep with every sleaze ball special interest (ala Pelosi's multi-million dollar "wind energy investments" w/T. Boone Pickens. You know, the real reason she's blocking domestic oil exploration, drilling, and production), she'll clean them out.
