Longtime Palin-pusher, blogger Hyscience, has made his case for the Alaska governor again and again. He’s my go-to guy for information about Sarah Palin, and he should be yours, too.
Back in 2007, Fred Barnes wrote an evenhanded
profile of Sarah Palin at the Weekly Standard:
Her rise is a great (and rare) story of how adherence to principle--especially to transparency and accountability in government--can produce political success. And by the way, Palin is a conservative who only last month vetoed 13 percent of the state's proposed budget for capital projects (…)
"She's as Alaskan as you can get," says Dan F.agan, an Anchorage radio talk show host. "She's a hockey mom, she lives on a lake, she ice fishes, she snowmobiles, she hunts, she's an NRA member, she has a float plane, and her husband works for BP on the North Slope," F.agan says. Todd Palin, her high school sweetheart, is a three-time winner of the 2,000-mile Iron Dog snowmobile race from Wasilla to Nome to Fairbanks. It's the world's longest snowmobile race.
BeldarBlog has another, more recent, fact-filled profile of Sarah Palin.
OK, she’s not that experienced – but Obama can’t very well criticize her for that, can he? He’s a legislator (barely) while she’s a chief executive. Big difference.
On his radio show, Dennis Miller has been pushing Sarah Palin for the short-term tactical reason that folks will balk if Biden attacks Palin too hard during the televised VP debates.
That’s clever, but really: is a 44-year-old woman with limited experience really the best choice to take over if, God forbid, something happened to a President McCain?
For now, we all need more time to learn about Sarah Palin, and those feature profiles will be coming thick and fast as of today.
My prediction? Palin will get a makeover. Men love to look at her, and she is gorgeous.
But she’ll lose the glasses and the bun by the end of September.
