Now I understand why she quit her job as governor
Sarah Palin is an enigma. We want to like her. A lot of us still do like her. If you can believe what is in this book you might not keep liking her for long.
Palin is in many ways the epitome of someone who has realized the American Dream. The author of this book was there as she began her rise to higher office. And he documents the changes that he observed in Sarah along the way. And she did change. A lot, according to him.
Palin reportedly just bought a mansion in a gated community in Arizona. There are rumors that she might run for the US Senate in Arizona. She could win if she does. But President Palin? I don't think so. Not gonna happen. This book will be debunked. Who really cares what she does in private? Even so, her dirty laundry makes a presidential campaign problematic. Just ask Mitch Daniels why he isn't running...
On the other hand this is not a celebrity bashing book. The author was actually there. Close to her. He has the e-mails. And he remains a conservative. Not sure about Palin's conservative credentials any more. She talks big. She earns big. This book makes me sad for America,
