Palin Shows She Can Lead Even
Her Political Opponents!

It's been a pleasure watching
our life-long Alaskan gal, Sarah Palin campaign for Governor
these past six months. I've always been impressed with her leadership
skills, experience, ethics and energy. Sarah certainly tells
it like it is and is obviously not your typical politician. I
knew she'd be my candidate when she told GOP bosses Randy Ruedrich
and Frank Murkowski to take a hike.
Her campaign encapsulates who she is and what makes her stand
out from the more of the same crowd. I found it particularly
interesting to see that her opponent, John Binkley, recently
redesigned his website to resemble the site Sarah's had for the
past six months! He's even started to copy the same campaign
colors, fonts, and design elements that Sarah's campaign has
also been using since October. Recently even his speaking themes
have mirrored Sarah's.
This may not seem like a big deal to some, but not having an
original idea and taking credit for someone else's hard work
should give us a clue about how Binkley operates. I think Sarah
should be flattered that Binkley copies her ideas and messages.
It shows she can lead even her political opponents!
In all fairness though, maybe Binkley should make a donation
to Sarah's campaign to help defray the costs they've incurred
for all of their ideas that he's now using.
