The Sarah Show

Thousands wait as long as 90 minutes to get a glimpse of her and women drive more than hour to see her in a nearby city. She has lifted McCain in the polls & has put Obama into confusion. She is living out a Cinderella story unlike any other in recent political history & fans are waiting for the glass slipper to fit. White women have swung away from Obama by as much as 20 points. Charollet Schworer, a retired thrid grade teacher from Kentucky who voted twice for Bill Clinton says, "I sat there, tears rolling down my face, watching my TV." She continues, in reference to the Republican Convention, "I felt energized, truly energized for the first time." The campaign denied all news interviews for nearly two weeks after she joined the ticket. She never banned library books, though she raised the possibility while speaking with a librarian. She did not end up selling her jet on Ebay, Brett Favre bought it instead. I really like that about her, that she has a private jet in her possession and chooses to sell it. I like that she takes an interest in books, but do not like the idea of banning them because I believe books are ideas and thoughts from creative minds and everyone has the right to read and write what they wish...the first amendment is freedom of speech. I feel many women can relate to her, while I am not a mother at this moment, and enjoy seeing a woman as a political figure...the nineteenth amendment grants women the right to vote. Grandmother's tell of getting goose bumps when she speaks and women flock to see her give speeches. Although she tells the same jokes, I have to agree, they are quite funny.
