Summary: She'd make a good president, but George W Bush is better.
Comment: Sarah Palin would make a great presidential candidate, except for the fact that Bush has done a great job the past 8 years. Sarah Palin knows politics like Michael Jordan knew how to play baseball, like a champion! Plus, Sarah Palin is a down to earth person, which makes me like her even more. I feel so bad for her that her Yahoo! mail got hacked, with a hard password like 'popcorn', you'd expect her to be safe on the internet, lols!

George W. Bush/Sarah Palin for 2008 election!

Summary: Why Would Anyone Want To Read A Book About A Washed Up Politician?
Comment: Why in the world do people actually think she was a good candidate for Vice President? Are the American people becoming that brain-dead? Anyone who thought she was a good pick for VP, my question to you is do you honestly believe she has the intelligence to lead a country if something happened to John McCain?

This woman was a menace from the first day I laid eyes on her. She is everything that is wrong with this country. She's a radical, moose-killing, gun-toting, glorified redneck with a bad case what I call "airhead syndrome."

She's the main reason McCain lost the election. Well, she has plenty of time to play the role of "hockey mom" now doesn't she?

Summary: Must read for each conservative on your list
Comment: For people who just can't get enough Sarah Palin news! I bought as one of several birthday presents but this is the one present the person enjoyed most! She could not wait to read! Great gift for anyone who enjoys reading about a self made woman--quite an accomplishment in politics these days!!

Summary: Great book about a great person!
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Sarah Palin. She's such a genuine individual and very talented and down-to-earth. Thanks for writing this book.

Customer Rating:

Summary: A positive outline of an amazing political success
Comment: A short book (only 145 pages) for a short career. The author does not attempt to probe too deeply. She provides a brief history of Sarah Palin's "... unlikely rise to Alaska's highest office.", and a brief biography of the young Governor along the way. The message of the book is a positive advertisement for democracy. It worked in this instance. The voters of Alaska got the change they were looking for (so far).
