She comes from a working class background, sports union membership, has fought corrupt Republicans in her state government. She is successful and powerful in her own right, smart, and poised.
If she was pro choice, Sarah Palin would have made an ideal Democrat nominee.
But for her stand on this one litmus test issue, Palin would be the epitome of the role model for the modern woman. Her pro life stand makes her a target for political heresy subject to the kind of viciousness usually reserved for black heretics who dare to be called Republican.
She is tough and fearless. She had no problem turning criticisms into points of attack. “..being mayor of a small town is sort of like being a ‘community organizer’, except you have real responsibilities.”
It is interesting that they compare her experience to Obama, not Biden. She speaks better than Obama; her presentation had more memorable lines and metaphors. She spoke clearly and flawlessly and supposedly with a broken teleprompter. It must infuriate some to a rabid froth that this Alaskan hic can out speak the Ivey League savior, and without the lavish Hollywood props.
Historically VP candidates do not have much impact, and that may or may not be the case here. Rather than placating the opposition, Palin energizes the base. Palin stands for something, and will thus be a force to be reckoned with.
