Sarah Palin week 3

Sarah Palin is an interesting character in politics. It may seem like she just hopped from a housewife into running or president but Palin has actually been in politics for sometime now. She put her foot in the door in 1992 when she won the first two terms in the Wisilla city council. Following by winning the first two terms as Wisilla's mayor in 1996. She then went on to win the governorship of Alaska in 2006. Through out all of this Palin simply explained it as following gods plan. She stated that "my life is in gods hands". She says that god started talking to her about going into politics and that's how it started. Through the eyes of Joe Mcginniss she is the "Christ-drunk Paris Hilton of politics", Mcginniss believes that she should stay on her in Wisilla and leave the presidential elections alone. Many people believe that she just likes to put on a show and stay in the light of politics. Mcginniss mentions how certain people describe her time in office, they say that it was “nothing short of a reign of terror” and they fear that the "vicious and vengeful” Palin can still punish her critics, even though she holds no political office today." In her time she has fired many city employees, pushed out certain government employers whom she disliked, harassed the library bookkeepers about holding gay content books, and pushed for officials to fire her brother in law from the police force. She pretty much bullied her way through Wasilla. Personally there are a couple of unnamed sources who say that Palin has severe mood swings, have partaken in cocaine, her marriage is dull and barely even a marriage, he husband Todd takes care of this children. There is also talk about Palin potentially being a racist in some form. In 1987 Palin had sexual activity with a basketball star named Glen Rice. He states that she was very nice and had a crush on her for a while after as they used to keep in touch but another source says that Palin had a major freakout after the incident and was crying hysterically because she had sex with a "black man"
Palin remains unsure on whether or not to join the 2011 presidential elections, although she is very confident that she will win. "she believes Americans are 'desperate' and 'deserving' of 'positive change." She states that she doesn't believe that she is the only person or the job or the only person that can achieve this but she does think that she can win the election. She is relying on her family to help her make a decision because if they think that she shouldn't then she will stay out of the election. She does however have support from her husband Todd.
