Sarah Palin is 44 years old, a Protestant, she’s been married for 20 years, she has five kids (including one that is just a few months old) and she may become the next Vice President.
Sarah has a degree in journalism from the University of Idaho. She switched colleges six times en route to her degree.

I think she looks like Peggy Hill.
She served two terms on the Wasilla City Council (’92-96) and then two terms as Wasilla’s mayor (’96-’02). In 2002 she ran for Lieutenant Governor of Alaska and was the runner up. 
She appears to have entertained the notion of Alaska seceding from the USA.
In ’03 the governor appointed Sarah as Panel Ethics Commisioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commision. She resigned the following year in a brouhaha over –what else—ethics.
From 2003 to 2006 Sarah served as a director of a group whose stated purpose is “to increase the number of Republican women in elected offices and in appointed governmental and political positions…through training and education”.
In 2006 Sarah Palin defeated the incumbent governor in the primary and defeated a former governor in the general election. Her platform was “clean government”. In 2007, Governor Palin presented the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act to provide for the construction of a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope.
She’s a lifetime member of the NRA, a hunter and fisherman.
My take: I thoroughly enjoyed her speech at the convention. She’s obviously very determined, bright and clever. She appears unlike any candidate I’ve ever seen, in a positive way. On the other side of the coin, she also appears to be a loose cannon, has no foreign policy experience and she’d be the proverbial heartbeat away.
Ain’t all bad.
