A quick search on the internet will bring up all sorts of rumours laying fact to her supposed stupidity and incompetence. But further reading into these rumours will lead to the truth that the rumours are either fabrications or misinterpretations.
Whatever the reasons, the Democrats pulled up an all out attack on the Alaskan politician. It's logical to assume that this was because the woman was so hopeless... If that is the case then why not give her enough rope to hang herself with?
No. It's far more likely that Sarah Palin posed a real threat to the Democrats and they sought to crush her before she rose too high. Heaven forbid that she were to become more popular than Saint Obama...
Consider the profile of the preferred democratic female candidate, professional lawyer or something similar, based in Washington D.C, member of an established elite, very rich, white, and moves within a certain circle of upper class people - ultimately a lifestyle that which bears no likeness to the 'normal' American woman (or any woman in the world).
Now look at Sarah Palin, successful politician and business woman, mother of a large family, happily married for near two decades, mother of a disabled child, problems with a teenage daughter, and has risen to her own efforts and popularity without the aids of wig wigs.
Who do you think the everyday American woman is more likely to identify with?
And OK Sarah Palin isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer - but that depends which drawer you're looking in. If it's the draw containing US Presidents, British and European Premiers, well, I'd say she comes out pretty well, if not on top!
