I've lived in Alaska for 20+ years, and lemme tell you something about Palin. Like her, or not, agree with her, or not, if you underestimate her abilities you do so at your own peril, because Sarah-Cuda will fuck you up in a Wasilla minute. She's tough, and she's smart, and she's used to getting her way. She'll take on the oil companies, the feds, or anyone else who thinks they can push her around just because she's a woman. Besides, she can put a .30-06 through your skull and have you gutted, quartered, and tied on the back of a four-wheeler, before your corpse is even cold. She could KO Biden, and McCain too, in a bare-knuckle fight without breaking a sweat. When her and Biden have their debate, he'll wish he hadn't gotten out of bed that day.
