Sarah Palin: Just Like You and Me

Poor Todd and Sarah, middle class folks. According to the Wall Street Journal:

The Palins’ assets seem enviable: a half-million-dollar home on a lake with a float-plane at the dock, two vacation retreats, commercial-fishing rights worth an estimated $50,000 or more and an income last year of at least $230,000. That compares to a median income of $64,333 for Alaskans and $50,740 for Americans in 2007,according to the Census Bureau.

For an Outsider, She Knows the Insiders

Upon being elected governor, Palin began developing relationships with
Washington insiders, who later championed the idea of putting her on the 2008
ticket. “There’s some political opportunism on her part,” Bitney said. For
years, “she’s had D.C. in mind.” He added, “She’s not interested in being on the
junior-varsity team.”
