This week I read an article about Sarah Palin and the link is http://www.newsweek.com/id/156472.
I found the article to be very interesting. The article starts out with such a humble picture of Sarah Palin, she’s holding a fish that she has caught. She is unlike any other candidate or politician that I have ever seen. The article then portrays her as a busy mother who is trying to juggle everything in her life and that she enjoys every minute of her busy life. She has a certain personality that is so accessible compared to other politicians. Her life is not one of elegance and prestige. Sarah Palin grew up in a town of 7000 people and there was little glamour in that town. Her only experience with glamour and the prestige of high city life was her entrance in the beauty competitions. She became the Miss Wasilla in 1984. She later came to regret doing this because it was embarrassing for her to recall. She is what believe to be a typical Alaskan. She hunts, fishes, and has been a proud member of the NRA her whole life. Palin describes herself as person who likes to get her way. She is a known as a maverick in her own state. She fostered many reforms and attacked the republican powers that had held and corrupted the government of Alaska. She cut the spending and turned the government around and ended the corruption. Palin did this, and enjoyed every minute of it. I think that she is a great person and although she is a little inexperienced in the international relations, I think that her charming personality, and maverick qualities suit John McCain.
