Sarah Palin

There is a little more information out there this morning on Sarah Palin.  Power Line has a few entries on her by John Hinderaker and Scott Johnson, and The Wall Street Journal Online has an article by Fred Barnes about some of her accomplishments in Alaska in the area of reform.  From what I have been reading, her nomination will bring the conservatives back to John McCain at a time when he was in danger of losing them.  She is definitely a 'Washington outsider' and as much of a maverick as he is.  They seem to be the penny pinchers we could use in Washington right now!  It's nice that he chose a woman, but frankly, I am more impressed by the fact that she is a reformer who does not back down.  This lady looks very sweet and gentle, but in terms of dealing with corruption, she shows how she earned her high school basketball name "Sarah the barracuda".  She also has no qualms about going after corruption in either party.   That's fine with me.
