Sarah Palin Has Come Under the Radar For Primping

Americans are clearly not used to seeing a woman run for the second highest political office in the country. Notwithstanding the huge uproar about all that she has spent on her clothing, would GOP voters really want to see her show up at the campaign trail in her woolly fleece from Alaska? Of course not! It would be a colossal let down for the Republican Party’s image.

With all the criticism flying around about how no candidate ever before has spent the party’s money to primp, has anybody considered that no candidate ever before was a woman? Women need to primp. Isn’t this one of the oldest known and truest cliches that exist in our society?

Hilary Clinton did not spend her party’s money to primp like Sarah Palin , you might say. Well just take one look at the difference between their financial pockets; the Clintons are significantly more wealthy than the Palins.

Palin’s People Power

Sarah Palin is the subject of huge criticism and all sorts of alleged controversy but one thing is for sure, she is definitely the Talk of the Town. Even if Barack Obama becomes President, it is fair to say that the last ten weeks of the election campaign have been about Sarah Palin. She draws tens of thousands to her rallies, and I cannot believe that everybody goes purely for the entertainment.

Don’t get me wrong, I can find plenty of reasons to poke holes at the GOP campaign and at Palin’s stand of various issues (such as her stand on abortion and her avid passion for hunting) but the reality is that Palin was sworn in as Alaska’s youngest and first woman governor in December 2006. As governor, Palin has spoken out against corruption, battled for funding from major oil producers and convinced the legislature to give a $1,200 “energy rebate” to nearly every Alaskan. Her approval rating in the state stands at 80 percent. Reuters.

If John McCain does not become the next President, then the word is that this lady from Alaska might have a brighter future in Hollywood as the next Oprah or Sean Hannity.

I say that Sarah Palin more than stands a chance in 2012.

Sarah Palin’s Appearance on SNL – Did It Help Or Hurt?

Five weeks ago when Sarah Palin showed up on America’s political front page, all I could think and see was Tina Fey’s new material for sketch comedy. Reading my thoughts instantly, my husband said to me, “Aren’t you just look forward to Saturday Night Live Now?”

Just a few weeks later, it has all come to life. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler did an amazing rendition of Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago…on ‘hell’ weekend, right before Lehman Brothers went into bankruptcy. And then last night’s Saturday Night Live sketch about the vice presidential debate starring Queen Latifah as debate moderator Gwen Ifill and Tina Fey reprising her role as Governor Sarah Palin, just took the cake! For those of you who missed it, click here to see the video. An article in today’s New York Times entitled ‘Top Things Heard At A Palin Debate Camp’ included someone saying “Can Tina Fey just do the debate?”

Sarah Palin has become a hot topic of conversation in our household. Because none of us are eligible to vote, we have decided to unleash our Palin energy in other ways. I for one have decided that I will be her for Halloween. My daughter tells me that if this is indeed my intention then I need to take lessons in learning to dress like a United Airlines flight attendant. An observant comment, I must say!

Who do you think actually takes a stronger stand on Global Warming? Although both Biden and Palin want to address the issue, in the Vice Presidential debates, they seemed to be coming from different points of view.
