I was intrigued over a conservative mother who is balancing a family and career with the support of her husband Todd the first Dude or First Gentleman.
The news reports and so called comedians such as Joy Behar on the daily show called The View. and David Letterman who never allow an opportunity to pass without throwing a distasteful comment about Sarah-Palin.
It is reported that Letterman made at least 95 jokes about Sarah Palin since the election. In addiction. the news media reports are always mostly negative. Most of it is not about her political career as a Governor of Alaska, but gossip about her family.
In June, 1009 David Letterman makes a sick joke about her daughter getting knocked up by A-Rod "Alex Rodriguez" a Yankees's third baseman. The daughter that accompanied her to the game was 14 year old Willow.
I read many of the blogs on the internet and it never ceases to amaze me how bloggers are also continuosly putting down the Governor and her family. Many of them don't see anything wrong with what Letterman said Then there is the interview of Matt Lauer with the Governor on the Today Show, where he harshly questioned her about Letterman. It appeared to me that he was taking up for David Letterman an over 62 year old man making a joke about a man and a teenager.
So, these are the reasons that I feel so passionate about dedicating
positive information about Governor Sarah Palin on this site.
This site will introduce to you to her daily life, her family, her political views, events in her life, her environment and how she handles the terrible comments that were made and are still being made about her and her family.

Three Things You May Not Know About Sarah Palin

The election is over but Sarah Palin is not. Who was she? She was a mother, wife, soccer mom, athlete, fisherman and governor of Alaska. She dressed well, looked pretty, worked hard and did some wonderful things for the residents of Alaska. She did not ask to run for Vice President. She did not spend thousands of dollars on her clothes. She did not get an abortion when she knew her baby would be developmentally challenged. She had courage, fortitude and foresight. Today she is still governor, she is still pretty. She is still a mom and wife. She obviously does not care about fancy clothes as they were all returned. They dressed her up, tried to change her demeanor, and also her attitude. They succeed in dressing her up, changing her appearance a little ...but never her attitude. Yes, she played by most of the rules, and did what she was told. Loved by all the people? Not be a long shot, however there were thousands who came out to hear her speak. That will never be forgotten. She is back in her home town, governing away at her very best. How come Alaska has enough surplus dollars to give back to the citizens? It does make you kind of wonder about things in our 48 contiguous states. What does tomorrow hold for this upbeat, aggressive, altruistic leader? Some are talking about 2012. It seems like she is pretty darn happy to be home and back at her desk. She has a lot of work to do, and she is at it again. Her family remained intact. No, her family is not perfect, but whose family is? Predictions....Keep your eyes open for 2012. I think it is a very good possibility that we will be seeing Sarah Palin drawing the crowds once again.

Sarah Palin is currently the Governor of Wasilla, Alaska. Many Americans had never heard of her when Senator McCain had introduced her as his running mate for VP in the 2008 Presidential election. In addition, there have been man-on-the-street interviews conducted by a few TV celebrities such as Jay Leno, who asked simple questions such as where is Alaska on the map. The majority of people who was asked this question did not know and could not point to it on the map.

Learn About the Iditarod Race and Dog Mushing in Alaska
By Diane Gray
In Alaska, the official state sport is dog sled racing. Alaskans have always appreciated the reliability and historic value of the old ways of dog sledding. Mechanical transportation such as snow machines and snow mobiles are of course very important to the people of Alaska, but many still keep their own dog teams. Some folks like to keep 2 to 10 sled dogs simply for the joy of recreational mushing, while other keep their teams for working and sled racing competition.
The celebration of Alaskan dog sled racing and mushing racing ranges from the local club meets to the world championships. These races are held throughout the winter months. The mushing races use teams of 7-16 dogs. The teams are not allowed to replace any dog during the race and the cumulative times for the heats determine the winner. Speed races are normally run for about 12-30 miles and last about two to three days. Much excitement accompanies these events. Long distance races are probably the most famous ones of all. They include the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod.
These dog teams and their mushers not only compete against the other teams, but they also have to contend with the harsh elements of the Alaskan countryside. Sometimes a musher and his dog team can find themselves in the middle of a dangerous snow storm. If this happen, winning the race may take a backseat and survival in turn becomes a priority. It is reported in the past races that some mushers would sacrifice their chances of winning to help out a fellow musher and his dogs that unfortunately got stranded in the killer storm and needed help. There are other perils along the trail however. Moose will attack the dogs, and straying off course can both become problems. Also, an illness of the musher or his dogs is possible, and the sheer exhaustion and physical exertion of the race can certainly take its toll.
Of all the dog sled races, the Iditarod race probably gets the most national press and is the most known by Americans and people from all over the world. It follows the old mail route which started in Knik, just north of Anchorage and continued northwest to finish in Nome. This old mail route was blazed in 1910. The modern Iditarod race runs about 1,100 miles and crosses two mountain ranges. It also follows the Yukon River for about 150 miles and runs through several villages. The trail even crosses the pack ice on Norton Sound! As you can imagine, this race is truly a test of physical and mental strength and determination! With all of the obstacles that a musher and his dogs must face and overcome, you can imagine the thrill and excitement of the winner and all of the other teams who ran and/or finished this historic race!One of the most famous runs of all on this old mail trail took place in 1925 when Leonhard Seppala and his dog team brought thousands of precious units of the life-saving Diphtheria serum to Nome, Alaska where an epidemic broke out. Nowadays, snowmobiles and helicopters replace the dog sled for this job, but at that time, the brash and brave lifesaving run by Seppala was a godsend to the distressed people of Nome.
The Iditarod race was conceived and organized in 1967 by Joe Redington Sr. and Dorothy Page of Wasilla, Alaska. The first races only covered 56 miles, but then in 1973 it was lengthened to today's 1,100 miles. In 1973, the Iditarod race started in Anchorage on March 3rd. It ended on April 3rd in Nome. This race has been run every year since then. Several years later, Congress designated the Iditarod race as a National Historic Trail in 1976. Dog mushing and the Iditarod race in Alaska bring a romantic notion in people's minds about the old ways of survival and transportation in the far north. It is reassuring to know that dog mushers and their wonderful and brave dog teams are still running the trails today. The special reminder of this tradition is the Iditarod race, which forged its own place in American history. For information on training your dog, you can visit http://www.sitandheel.com

Sarah Palin, Hockey Mom, Super Hero, Action Figure
By Mark Doyle
Whether you like her politics or not, Sarah Palin is quite a story. She is the governor of Alaska and the Republican vice presidential nominee in the 2008 presidential election. She was on the Wasilla, Alaska city council from 1992 to 1996 and mayor from 1996 to 2002.
She chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 to 2004. She was elected governor of Alaska in November 2006, becoming the first woman and the youngest person to hold the position in Alaska.
All that is very impressive but now she has become something she can be really proud of. That's right Sarah Palin has been immortalized with her own action figure.
Move over Obama and McCain posters and campaign buttons. This may be even bigger than the "I like Ike" campaign button.
Yes the Sarah Palin action figure has arrived. The dolls are the latest in a line of American political candidates who have been immortalized including John McCain and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The Sarah Palin action figure comes in two different styles. The super hero ready to take on Washington, And the business style with a skirt so short it could get her thrown out of any board room.
The doll is made of high quality plastic, it looks just like her, and will no doubt become a collectable. The Sarah Palin action figure may go down in history as the most popular political campaign item of all time. Congratulations to Sarah Palin on her new action figure and place in political memorabilia history.
