#1 I suppose that in this day and age, you could call it a puff piece - seeing as how she is running as a Republican and the article it didn't call her Satan or accuse her of being a "breeder".

"Many who have worked with her -- and against her -- say that in the case of the oil tax, she piggybacked on Democratic efforts that were well underway.

There's always been a little bit of an air of an opportunist about the governor," said state Sen. Hollis French, a Democrat, who has been a strong advocate for the public getting a larger slice of Alaskan oil and gas revenues.

It's what my daddy used to call the "velvet slap across the face".

#2 The following is a note from my niece (blackhawk pilot) in Taji:

"So,
Sarah Palin. I don't know what you guys think of her, but I really like
her. Everyone found out in the chow hall and people were literally
cheering. She is from Alaska, and so are a lot of the guys deployed
with us out of Ft. Waynewright (sp?). I think she is awesome. "
