Let the campaign begin!
(Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots; I always wondered why they were red and blue)
It can be easily inferred how I personally feel about Sarah Palin. However, in all fairness to the proceeding report I wonder how factual it is.
This is the big story about Palin. It centers around a letter being circulated by Anne Kilkenny, a resident of Wasilla, Alaska while Palin was Mayor, sent to some friends telling them what she purports are facts about Palin's term as Mayor. Interspersed with those facts are personal viewpoints that make this letter even more interesting.
Her reason for writing the letter? "I have long believed in the importance of being an informed voter," she writes.
By the way Kilkenny is a registered Democrat. I wonder how the republicans will respond to an average citizen who is a PTA member, attends City Council meetings habitually, and a housewife.
Some responses to the letter by bloggers suggest that Kilkenny is jealous of Palin's success. I find that to be insulting and an attempt to discredit when all the facts pointed in the letter need to be validated and if they are then it doesn't matter how one woman feels about another. Yes, there is a lot of opinion, but so was a majority of Palin's acceptance speech at the republican convention. Let's let the facts speak loudest.
Though not an avid reader of "The Nation" a liberal magazine, I am using their page on the letter because it seems to be the whole thing where as other sites have only partial parts.
Also to show the legitimacy of the letter, here is an interview of Kilkenny by NPR
All the major facts have been checked and found to be true - Anne Kilkenny is a real person who resides in Wasilla, Alaska.
