At the top of the list is the fact that she stood up to corruption. Corrupt officials went to jail when Palin turned them in after she refused to become part of the corruption.

Is Sarah Palin the only Governor to have refused to become involved in corruption? While her high moral standards are certainly to be commended, she is not the only moral voice in elected office. Basically you're saying that she upheld her gubernatorial oath of office and did what the law required of her, which was to conduct herself legally.

She’s not only qualified, she’s more qualified than anyone else by virtue of her opposition to the permanent political class.

You mean like John McCain (who Sarah said "shares her vision for America"), like Orrin Hatch, who writes and sings love songs to Teddy Kennedy? Add up the cumulative years that Hatch and McCain have been living off the taxpayers, and you come up with just shy of 65 years, and if that isn't 'permanent political class', you tell me what is?

And there is nothing in the job of president that Palin couldn’t accomplish. None have ever been named because none exist.

And aside from her 'standing up to corruption', you have failed to list her exemplary accomplishments as Governor.

Try again.

In Palin’s case it wasn’t about passively doing the bare minimum of upholding her oath. She went far above and beyond.

If you don’t know how rare it is for a politician to refuse the temptations of corruption when doing so means significant financial, social, political and even family risk—while accepting it would bring significant personal gain—then you really know nothing whatsoever about politics.
