___________________

In 2006, an angel-faced but tough 42-year-old former small-town mayor named Sarah Palin became a long-shot candidate for Alaska governor, demanding a higher ethical standard in state government. When a major political scandal rocked Alaska politics, Palin’s populist reform message suddenly became front-page news. Alaskans began listening to her, and they liked what they heard. Surprising everyone, Palin thumped both a sitting governor in the Republican primary election and a former governor in the general election to become Alaskas first female chief executive and its youngest ever.

Now, as her amazing political rise continues, it is time for the rest of America to meet this formidable, independent woman with the designer glasses and heels, a freezer full of moose she hunted herself, and most importantly, the political instincts of a seasoned pro.
