Gov. Sarah Palin has NEVER been a secessionist. That rumor was reported in the NY Times. And within a few hours of it being printed, the 'proof' of this accusation was found to be forged and the story of Gov. Palin being a secessionist was dissmissed as a complete fabrication.
Sarah Palin is originally from Sandpoint, Idaho, but is a long time Alaskan.
Before becoming mayor, Sarah Palin served on the Wasilla City Council from 1992 to 1996.
== == Sarah Palin is resigning her position as governor of Alaska at the end of July, 2009. She was elected governor of Alaska in 2006, and was scheduled to serve until 2010, though obviously she'd have resigned earlier if elected Vice President of the United States.
She took six years to get her degree in Six different schools
Well, a candidate can't have experience in Senate and as Governor and as Judge. McCain has served a long time in the Senate. Oh.. She should be called GOVENOR Palin. If the press refers to Senator Obama, then she deserves to be called by her title. The Press seems to think she is Mommie Sarah.
While the ability to serve as president is one of the criteria for choosing a vice-presidential candidate, there is a long history of choosing vice-presidential candidates to help with the election of the presidential candidate. In terms of that task, the VP candidate can help bring out the base, bring out undecideds, or both. In the case of Sarah Palin, it appears that there was significant concern that John McCain was not well supported by the Rupublican Party's base. As a result, it decided to gamble with Palin who is a fundamentalist Christian. Adding to reason for her support was the fact that she is a woman; given the dissatisfaction that Hilary Clinton supporters had, the McCain campaign took a gamble that the choice of Palin might attract those supporters as well. While such gambling has been criticized by many, it has also been praised by the Republican Party's base. It is well known among those who study politics that candidates who are behind typically engage in more risky (some would say bold) campaigning. The same happens in business and in sports. You must also consider the fact that Sarah Palin has had more executive experience than all three of the others on the ticket.
