Sarah - How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaskas Political Establishment Upside down
This book was republished when Sarah Palin was named as Senator John McCain's vice-presidential running mate for the Republican Party ticket in 2008. It is fairly hard to find in some places because of all the interest in Governor Palin. Many places are sold out. You can purchase SARAH: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaskas Political Establishment Upside Down from our partner Powell's Books, by clicking on the image above. Here are some other comments from the Publisher about the book. "In
2006, an angel-faced but tough forty-two-year-old former small-town
mayor named Sarah Palin became a long-shot candidate for Alaska
governor demanding a higher ethical standard in state government. The
timing of her reform message and a widening scandal produced a tornado
that reshaped the political landscape. Surprising everyone, Palin
thumped by wide margins both a sitting governor in the Republican
primary election and a former governor in the general election to
become Alaska's first female chief executive and its youngest ever.
Through the campaign, and early in Palin's first term, the energetic
and attractive mother of five achieved near-heroine status in her
state. At one point, the new governor's approval rating reached 90
percent, prompting the Fox News Network to describe her as a Politician
with eye-popping integrity and some national GOP leaders to tout her as
a prototype of the new Republican."
“Sarah Palin is a politician of eye-popping integrity.” Fox News Network “Wildly Popular, she's more than just a pretty
face." “There's an
undeniable national buzz surrounding
the first-term
governor, seen by many Republicans as a fresh, new face to represent
the party's future.” "In Sarah, we learn that she is a former Wasilla High School basketball star, ex-beauty queen, and one-time journalist who wears a killer smile, designer glasses, and high heels. She rides in a 2,000-very-cold-mile snow machine race every year called the Iron Dog. She has filled more than a few freezers with moose that she shot herself, and she prefers caribou steaks to beef tenderloins.Her husband is part Alaska Native, a roughneck on the North Slope, and the family fishes commercially each year on Bristol Bay. Last, but not least — as her adversaries learned painfully — she has the political instincts of a seasoned pro and an independent streak a mile long."
