"A change from photo-op stops to honest conversations
with actual voters..."

On p. 114 of GR, Sarah continues the discussion of her 2005-2006 run for Governor of Alaska. She writes, "Every part of our campaign shouted 'Change!' A change in campaign financing: we ran on small donations from all over the state, mostly from first-time political donors, and we turned back some large checks from big donors if we perceived conflicts of interest.

"A change from photo-op stops to honest conversations with actual voters. A change from emphasizing politics to emphasizing people. A change from smooth talk to straight talk--even then."

Such was her gubernatorial campaign.

Her presidential campaign, if she runs, will be built on and blessed by the same principles, I believe. Yes, the scale will be far grander and the stakes far greater, but it will still be a SARAH PALIN CAMPAIGN!!!

We may notice the obvious, but no less admirable, uprightness of ethics: They turned back certain large checks from some big donors. A little less obvious may be the implications that are contained in these same lines. It is implied that they had MANY FIRST-TIME donors.

Sarah is like that: She inspires people who have never been involved in the political process, or who have been turned off by it for a long, long time, to get involved.

I remember that some of our friends here made a most perceptive observation during the 2012 POTUS race: People who have DROPPED OUT of political involvement altogether, due to disgust at BOTH Parties, are not measured in the usual polls and prognostications!! They are a hidden and waiting well, ready to be tapped into and drawn upon if the right Patriot comes along.

And this is Sarah's great secret weapon. She can appeal mightily to folks like this, and bring them in, and bring them back. This potential of support for her is like the great OIL reserves that our country possesses: Both are mighty sources of power and energy, just waiting to be tapped into and sent forth into combat, whether it is economic or political warfare!!

Sarah has famously said "DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!'

This stirring battle cry can refer both to underground petroleum reserves and to underground people reserves!!!--The Sarah Underground--untapped power and potential!!!

Her reference to "first-time" donors reminds me too of a man I read about in a LEFT-LEANING newspaper in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 2008 campaign. This was a man who was volunteering at a local McCain-Palin headquarters. He had NEVER before worked on a political campaign. He was, as I recall, about SIXTY years old.

He was asked why he was working on THIS campaign.

His answer was one word:

SARAH.

I believe that his number was legion in '08, and will become a Legion of Legions if she runs for 2016!!!

We may notice too the Governor's censure of mere photo-ops in the passage cited above. This thought leads straight to the crushing and incriminating contrast of obama and that sick skeet-shooting photo.

Even if the photo was not completely faked in itself, its whole INTENT is mendacious and manipulative--As if America is going to believe that barack hussein obama is anything but hostile to the Second Amendment, hostile to the whole Constitution, hostile to the American People.

As the "president" continues to lie, continues to plot, continues to abuse his office; as the Karl Roves of the GOPe make their plans to attempt to smother and bury Free America under bulging barrels of Cronies' Cash, let us turn our eyes:

NORTHWARD …

North first to the beautiful city of Wasilla in Alaska, with prayerful hopes that a GENUINE stateswoman and patriot may descend from her bracing Arctic Seat and come down to run for POTUS for 2016, and …

Then North to the golden realm of our highest and loftiest ideals, principles, and aspirations …

And finally let us raise the eyes of our minds and of our hearts to True North, to the Throne of Heaven, that the Good Lord may vouchsafe His mercy to America, and safely guide our dear Governor through all the shark-infested waters of the Dems and the GOPe to the safe port of a triumphal "Morning in America" eight-year run as OUR President, as America's President!!!
