Leah's favorite politician -- Sarah Palin

My daughter, Leah, really likes Sarah Palin. Leah, Laura, and I went to see Governor Palin speak in Salem, Virginia, during the last presidential election campaign. The girls got really excited and enjoyed our field trip. Leah and Laura got shirts to commemorate the occasion and Leah still sleeps in hers. (They got small adult shirts because there were no children-sized shirts.)

This is an interesting article from The Washington Post entitled, "Five Myths about Sarah Palin."  The five myths are:

1. Palin cost McCain the 2008 election.
2. Resigning as governor was rash.
  3. Palin and the tea party are destroying the GOP.
  4. Palin is extreme.
  5. Palin is unelectable.

I agree that these are myths.


Sarah Palin conducted herself with poise and grace while suffering the  most shameful and shameless personal attacks in recent American political history.   And she even had the ability to keep her sense of humor. Remember her appearance on Saturday Night Live?  If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it. I'm sure you could use a good laugh.
