Palin provides a striking alternative
VP pick defies archetypes of women in politics
ST. PAUL - She hunts. She fishes. She was a beauty queen and star high-school athlete. She is the mother of five and a popular governor, but the thought of having to choose between work and family appears to have never crossed her mind. She firmly opposes abortion, and both she and her 17-year-old daughter chose to keep their babies under challenging circumstances.
Sarah Palin, the Republican governor of Alaska and John McCain's unexpected choice for vice president, represents a striking alternative to the female archetypes that have long dominated American politics. She is a sharp departure from traditional Republican wives such as librarian Laura Bush and heiress Cindy McCain, but she is also very different from the Democrats' pair of urbane working mothers, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, who are strongly identified with the pro-abortion rights feminist movement.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

In more ways than one 

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.
