The other side of Sarah Palin
It seems that she is hated by Alaskan Republicans (the story about her child being her daughter’s originated with Alaskan Republicans).
She’s stood up to the oil interests in Alaska (prompting speculation that this is an attempt to move her on so they can get their way), which I think she deserves some respect for.
I rather like the sound of ‘Upper Wingnuttia’ (aka Matanuska-Susitna Valley) where she comes from, it sounds like a rather wacky place of free spirited individuals (even if they sound totally bonkersm, and a little bit scary, its a refreshing change from Washington lawyers).
As for the Alaskan Independence Party, they sound interesting. Small government and offering the people of Alaska a choice about their status.
She really is a maverick whereas McCain pretends to be one.
(this is not an endorsement of her. I just think there is some good mixed in with the plentiful bad)
