She got elected mayor of Wasilla on the strength of Christian fundies who organized to put their own kind on town council and the local school board. Then she sucked up to powerful people in the Alaska GOP and played on her 'populist' appeal to get elected governor. (To those who say she was disliked by the GOP establishment in Alaska, I point out crooked Senator Stevens liked her.)<BR/><BR/>Now she seems to actually believe she's an awesome politician.
