4. Her acceptance speech was obviously a performance.
In an editorial this morning in the Anchorage Daily News, the editor writes, as I've said here repeatedly over the past week, "One big surprise about Palin's term as governor: She has been thoroughly bipartisan. Her most reliable supporters on her big three accomplishments have been Democrats. The partisan side that Palin showed in her acceptance speech Thursday is something Alaskans haven't seen in her time as governor." The national Republicans have gone to great pains to downplay her strengths as governor and maximize her weaknesses -- i.e., her social and religious fundamentalism. It's horribly cynical and will probably come back to bite her in the ass when she returns to Alaska.

For those of you who are still trying to learn more about Sarah, this morning's Daily News is full of stuff. http://www.adn.com/

Opinions, the political blogs and letters are pretty interestng, especially the comments.
