How Sarah Palin Changed the Political Landscape
One area of Sarah Palin's background that may help her is Alaska's unique role in our national security and homeland defense.
As governor of Alaska, Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's.
She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security's counterterrorism plans.
Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country's defense. Given Alaska's proximity to Russia, she may have security clearances we don't even know about.
According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.
Her experience in keeping the homeland safe fits perfectly with her image as the competent American woman

Sarah Palin is a legend in fighting corporate and government corruption. This lady will not back down for special interests. She even battled and won against Big Oil trying to come in behind Donald 'Mr. Corruption' Young and carve up Alaska. She has served on the school board, as a mayor, and now as Governor of the single largest, most energy rich state of the union. Read her bio...and prepare to be amazed. The world will be hearing a lot about her from now on.
She is NOT a DC insider as are McCain, Obama and Biden. This lady does not like government corruption, will not tolerate it, and is one tough cookie. She was a great athlete, team captain, and leader in her school days and is easily the most intelligently beautiful face ever to run for national office. Talk about REAL photo ops...
She is a devoted environmentalist and conservationist...and a pragmatist to the core. It will not take her long to figure out how corrupt DC is and take aim at many of the snakes there.
Palin is also from a modest background...great credentials in these 'blue blood' times of graft and gangsterism. Her father was a school teacher and her mother the secretary at that school. She is not part of the elitist clique and cabal of DC and has already proven her courage in standing up to them.
At 44, she is the youngest governor in Alaska history, the mother of five (5) children, and their oldest, a son, is in the US Army and will be in Iraqstarting in September. In fact, he is due to be deployed to Iraq on September 11, 2008.
She is an avid hunter, loves fishing, and is a no-nonsense adult. I guarantee that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are changing diapers frequently right now because the Vice President of the United States is also the President of the U.S. Senate. Sarah Palin will put up with Zero DC Bullshit from the House and Senate.
In announcing her, McCain even humbled himself and said in a self-effacing way that Sarah Palin is exactly the type of leadership needed in DC right now to fix what is wrong in America. McCain was very clear that DC is corrupt, she is not.
I have been very, and I mean VERY concerned that the RNC was going to stay on the Bush stuck-on-stupid program...but I think - I hope - the game just changed.
Sarah Palin is a fiscal conservative and a tireless worker for the common good of all. She is totally dedicated to energy independence and recently rammed through a new, crucial $40 billion pipeline from Alaska to the continental United States.
This is a quote from her speech: "The people of America expect us to seek public office and serve America - and the people - for the RIGHT reasons." When this lady speaks she means what she says. She has proven that as governor of Alaska.

She gave a two-finger salute to Conoco Phllips and Exxon Mobile, raised their taxes on their oil, put in place a transparent way to bid for the seed money and the licenses to finally, finally, put in a natural gas pipeline in Alaska. And it was won by a Canadian company. And she went to the mat and made it happen. She has been systematically pulling the drilling licenses of Conoco Phillips and Exxon Mobile for areas that they haven't touched. I mean, they've been hoarding reserves, and she says, you know, use it or lose it, and she has been sending the attorney general time after time to revoke these things. It's absolutely fascinating.
Let me tell you all the nice things about Sarah Palin: Sarah Palin has been a pretty freaking awesome governor. She came in saying that the entire system was corrupt, and that Republicans were evil, and she was going to just mix everything up and get us a gas pipeline and end of story. And she got to power, she was elected overwhelmingly by independents, beat Tony Knowles, who had been governor before.
My prediction is that the Alaskans won't be getting her back as governor.If mcCain cuts her from the ticket the election is over.
What you guys don't realize is that putting her on the national stage is the GOP's way of DEFANGING her, not empowering her. Outside of Alaska, she will be just another family values type and not in a position to do anything at all.
