Who Is Sarah Palin?












Like most individuals when the VP was announced I was completely surprised at the pick and completely blindslided. In all honesty I was expecting the announcement to be Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, or Rob Portman. After some research of who she is and what she stands for the more I am impressed with the pick. Sarah was born in Sandpoint Idaho and married her high school sweetheart Todd Palin on 29 Aug 1988. Together they have five children and are regular church goers. She attended the University of Idaho and obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism. Her eldest son even enlisted in the army after September 11th. Sarah is currently the governor of Alaska and trounced then Governor Frank Murkowski in being elected by a decisive margin despite an overwhelming anti-republican feeling in that election. Her approval ratings bounces around 90 percent. She is clearly pro life. Sarah supports drilling in ANWR and opposes same sex marriage. She is a lifetime member of the NRA and is an incredibly smart, independent, articulate conservative woman. How can one not like an individual that hunts, ice fishes, snowmobiles, has run a marathon and eats mooseburgers?
