ABSTRACT

Don’t underestimate Sarah Palin. If she doesn’t run for president sometime in the next eight years, someone modeled on her will. Taking her place in the lineage of John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama, she announces a new political invention. Right-wing pro-life feminist, smalltown high-school basketball star, beauty queen runner-up, sportscaster, and non-denominational, ex Catholic, Pentecostal Christian.
