Governor Palin Champions Team America
By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com
Have you ever watched a boxing match, a basketball game, or even a swim meet--any intense competition? Competitors gear up, take to the ring, the court, or the pool, and prepare to give their best effort. Their preparation is intense and their hopes high. The goal is simple: win.
Real competitors--and I know because I'm one--don't usually embrace the "it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game" concept, which was probably invented by some kid's parent to make his child feel better after getting destroyed on the court. Real competitors don't snuggle up to "remember, it's just a game." As I told the first basketball team I ever coached, "You want to play a game, go play checkers. Here, we play basketball!" By the way, "Play for fun"? Not on my team; I learned very early on that there just ain't no fun in losing! So real competitors play to win. They step up to the challenge with a sense of focus and an intent to be victorious, to never let down, to refuse to succumb to any amount of pressure.
That's the plan, but as admirable as this "never let 'em see you sweat" ideal is--as familiar as it is to those of us who have ever left it all out on the court, or the field, or wherever--the truth is that as the competition progresses, the legs lose their lift, the arms lose some flex, and the body simply loses speed. This becomes the reality no matter the intent. Yes, the good ones find a way to dig deep, but even still, they are affected--if not conquered--by fatigue that comes from taking the punches, the bangs, and the bruises. It's common. It's human nature. It's life.
Then there are the competitors who are otherworldy. They defy nature. There's nothing common about them. They never stop moving. They never stop being on the offensive. They handle every defense thrown at them. They're not just good; they're special. In the world of basketball, Michael Jordan was one such athlete. So was Cynthia Cooper. Today, it's Kobe Bryant. These type of people come along very rarely in a lifetime. They set their eyes on a target and nothing short of tying them down and locking them up will keep them from getting out there and being competitive.
Governor Palin is one such person. This was the case long before we ever knew who she was. As a basketball player, she played on a broken ankle. As a business owner, she fished with a broken hand, as documented by Joe Hilley. As a mother, she was back on the job within three days of giving birth. Each time there was work to be done, and sitting it out just wasn't an option. "No pain, no gain," as they say. So real competitors say, "Bring it on!"
All these years later, not much, if anything, has changed. The Governor is a person who absorbs punch after punch and rides wave after wave, without seeming to lose the slightest bit of strength or effectiveness in the process. With all she's been put through, she continues on--and never misses a beat. After every attack, there she is--still moving forward, still swinging, and the thing that drives the Left the craziest, still smiling. She is like that champion who simply cannot be defeated because she won't throw in the towel. Nevermind the full-court press, the dirty fouls, the low blows, the attempts to drown her in a sea of lies. Governor Palin won't sit on the end of the bench and hide. She simply won't take a breather. Thus, she wears out her opponents, who simply cannot keep up.
This is why she is so hated by the Left. They've tried it all. Nothing works. How does one defeat an opponent who won't go away, who can't be annihilated? She is to them what nightmares consist of: an enemy that cannot be destroyed no matter the tactic employed. To those who oppose fiscal responsibility, the Constitution, national security, and American exceptionalism, I have this to say: "be afraid; be very afraid!"
Every time it appears they've got her backed in a corner, she takes the non-traversy, redefines it, and refuses to be sidetracked by it: They point out that she wrote on her hand--and she draws attention to the President's teleprompter and continues to use her own "poor man's teleprompter." They misquote her as saying she can see Russia from her house--and she reminds them that she can also see November from there. They use her title as a means to shackle her--and she steps away, proving she doesn't need a title to make a difference. They even move in next door--and she does something the feds should be doing in our border states: she builds a fence. She even follows up enjoying watching her daughter perform on Dancing with the Stars with a scathing tweet about Pete Rouse a couple hours later. Nothing, absolutely nothing, extinguishes her determination to keep the main thing the main thing. And that's why they'll never defeat her, and that's why they hate her.
Governor Palin's endorsements will continue to matter, her fundraising will skyrocket all the more, and she will remain a powerful force to be reckoned with because she cannot be conquered. From anonymous campaign staffers to cowardly Journolisters, from attacks on her family to crime at her church, from insane boob-gate to asinine boo-gate, she withstands each impact, and then releases another smackdown Facebook note like nothing ever happened. While continuing to smile, it's as if she says, "Is this the best you've got?"
These are crucial times, and much is at stake. That's why people who have never been involved politically are suddenly mobilized and mobilizing others. I coached for years, and never did I build a game strategy around a bench warmer, an injured athlete, or a spectator. No, those leading the charge will be hardest hit. And who has been hit harder than the Governor? Who would ever blame her if she packed it in and went home to the state she loves, the family who loves her, and the life they once knew? But isn't this what the Left wants? The fact that she won't do it is what they can't figure out. They stay awake at night contemplating why she isn't succumbing to the pressure, why she isn't pulling her jersey to sit out the fourth quarter, why she isn't in a fetal position on the hardwood floor, waiting for it all to end. They have no answer for her stamina, and she has no intentions to cave.
Every once in a while a competitor emerges with superb skill, undivided focus, and an unbending spine. These are the franchise players. Everyone is gunning for them, yet they never choke. They'll never be accused of going halfway, nothing will keep them from being out there where and when it matters, and they always find the strength to push past the limitations that constrain regular people. That's because they're not regular people. They're real competitors with a special something that drives them. Governor Palin has those championship qualities.
Governor Palin is working hard to take us where we need to go--back to common sense principles and practical solutions. Her refusal to be sidetracked will keep the target on her back. The Left's inability to knock her out of the race will only infuriate them more and make them more desperately seek new ways to cause her harm. If what we've seen so far is any indication, however, we can be sure that she will continue to take what they throw at her, handle it with grace, and fight like a Grizzly for the future of Team America. And like every real competitor--every champion--she'll win. And we'll win with her.

Cocktail Republicans
Let me ask you a question. Do you identify with the Tea Party, or is your inclination toward the "Cocktail" Party? I put it in quotes, because it seems to be in competition with the TEA Party, no quotes needed.
Sarah Palin addressed this last night with Greta Van Susteren.
What Sarah was searching for, and couldn't quite come up with, was the phrase "Cocktail Party".
To whit: The word Governor Palin needed on Greta tonight was "Cocktail Party"
This is a perfect analysis of what the Tea Party is railing against in the Republican Party. The elites of the "Cocktail Party" seem to think that we won't notice, but they are mistaken. It's already out there.

Sullivan Apologizes for Pushing Boo-Gate
By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com
As most are aware, the Internet was abuzz with talk that Governor Palin was booed while in the Dancing with the Stars studio to cheer on her daughter, Bristol. Andrew Sullivan got caught up in Boo-Gate and then stated:
Now, on to the next "gate." I'm sure it's coming soon. I'll be here to debunk that one, too.

As most are aware, the Internet was abuzz with talk that Governor Palin was booed while in the Dancing with the Stars studio to cheer on her daughter, Bristol. Andrew Sullivan got caught up in Boo-Gate and then stated:
If DWTS explains what the booing was about and it had nothing to do with Sarah Palin's emergence, we will, as always, correct the record.When ABC squashed the booing rumors, Sullivan wrote:
ABC has now corrected the record. The booing was not about Sarah Palin but a reaction to an announcement of scores. The Dish apologizes for jumping to conclusions.It blows my mind that people are so threatened by Governor Palin that they get all giddy at the mere thought that she would be treated poorly by an audience of people. The stories out there by people who were praying fervently that they were on to something is unbelievable. Some still refuse to accept ABC's word on this. Sorry, folks, but audiences still stand in line to hear the Governor speak and to applaud the impact she's having on the upcoming mid-term elections and the nation overall.
Now, on to the next "gate." I'm sure it's coming soon. I'll be here to debunk that one, too.

US 4 Palin SarahPAC 3Q Money Bomb
SarahPAC delineated why this day is so important in a mailing sent to donors. Salient point:
Thursday, September 30th is the last day of the month.Please visit SarahPAC and make a donation: $5, $10, $20, $25, $50, $100, $200 - whatever you can afford - or have fun and go with a symbolic amount: $20.12, $112 (for November 2) for instance.
It's also a crucial Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing deadline.
Why is this FEC report so important?
Rightly or wrongly, both Republicans and Democrat leaders, political pundits, candidates, and especially the national news media use it as a gauge to measure our strength as a political action committee.
If we have what they consider a poor report, you can bet the biased news media will a print a headline that says "Sarah Palin's Influence Running Out of Steam."
But if our report shows we've raised more money than the left-wing committees, folks will know we are a force to be reckoned with and the headline will read:
"Sarah Palin Conservatives running Obama Liberals Out of Town!"

Gov Palin Discusses Tea Party Impact with Greta
Bristol Palin Has 5,000 Facebook Friends in One Week
One week and a little more than eight hours after launching her official Facebook Page, Bristol Palin already has 5,000 friends. The milestone was achieved September 28, 2010 at 2325 (11:25 PM) EDT.
Bristol, who is Gov. Palin's eldest daughter, launched her page on Tuesday, September 21 at 1442 (2:42 PM) EDT. She is a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, and an advocate against teen pregnancy for the Candies Foundation. Her performance of the Quickstep with Ballas propelled Bristol to the Week Three Round of Dancing with the Stars, which airs Monday, October 4, 2010.
Restraining Order Issued Against Palin, Cole Stalker
An Anchorage judge yesterday issued a restraining order barring Pennsylvania resident Shawn R. Christy from contact with either Gov. Palin or Kristan Cole, Heather A. Resz of the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman reported. Christy's alleged stalking goes back over 16 months when Cole expressed concern over emails he had been sending. According to Cole, Christy sent proof of weapons purchases, years outdated pictures of himself, and expressed intent to buy a one-way ticket to Alaska. The precipitating factor was a call he made from a cell phone with a 907 (Alaska) area code and his verbal indication that he was in the area.
Resz reported that Wasilla's Police Department have developed a comprehensive safety plan for both the Palin and Cole families, for which they are grateful.
Some of Christy's contact with Cole can be seen on his Facebook wall, which also shows he lost his job at Hazleton Oil.
Resz reported that Cole said she and, "Gov. Palin want women to know that they don’t have to live in fear if they are being stalked. There are avenues to get help. Staying silent doesn’t help anybody.”

Conviction Upheld for Hacker of Gov. Palin's Emails
A federal judge refused to throw out the convictions of David Kernell, who was found guilty in April of unauthorized access to a computer and obstruction of justice arising from his hacking into Gov. Palin's private email accounts during the McCain-Palin 2008 campaign, according to widespread reports. Kernell's lawyer is appealing to a higher court. Kernell could serve 15 to 21 months in a federal prison. His sentencing date is October 29, 2010.
Kernell is the son of a Tennessee Democrat. In what he claims was a "prank," he hacked into Gov. Palin's private email accounts and broadcast screen shots including identifiable information of key personal and professional contacts all over the Internet. Screen shots were also picked up by the press and shown on national TV. Not satisfied with merely violating Gov. Palin's privacy by these actions Kernell also posted the reset password to the breached account, allowing others to access and gain control over it, which one person did.
Bristol Palin to Deliver Pro-Life Message in Visalia, CA
Bristol Palin will be delivering a pro-life speech Thursday, September 30, 2010 at the Visalia [California] Convention Center Main Hall, according to Gerard Carroll, reporter for the VisaliaTimes-Delta.
"We are pleased that she [Palin] will be our guest speaker," said April Kesterson, executive director of Tulare-Kings Right to Life, sponsoring group for the seventh annual "Making a Difference for Life" fundraising banquet, set for a 7 p.m. start.Kesterson wanted Bristol to speak because she chose life over convenience, carrying her son Tripp to term at the height of the McCain-Palin campaign of 2008. Bristol has since become an advocate for abstinence through the Candies Foundation. Her speaking engagements are arranged through Single Source Speakers.
"There's no doubt that her [Bristol's] celebrity helps to promote abstinence," said Bill Albert, spokesman for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. "She is the most famous unwed teen mother in the world today."Bristol is a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. She returned to Wasilla with dance partner Mark Ballas, and was greeted by a throng of adoring fans. Entertainment Tonight's coverage of the dynamic dancing duo's return to Wasilla will air Monday night.

Gov. Parnell Endorses Joe Miller Video retrieved from KTUU.
Gov. Sean Parnell, Lt. Gov. candidate Mead Treadwell, and several lawmakers and former Palin campaign operatives endorsed Joe Miller at a joint rally held at the Menard Sports center yesterday, Ian Lazaran, Conservatives4Palin reported. KTUU and Miller both acknowledged the importance of Gov. Palin to helping them achieve their respective successes. Gov. Parnell ascended to his current position via Gov. Palin's resignation last year. Her endorsement of Joe Miller pulled him ahead of Lisa Murkowski and brought in over $500,000 in Tea Party money to his campaign.

GOP Digs in on Murkowski Against the Will of Voters
Doug Brady, Conservatives4Palin reported that Joe Miller discussed the GOP establishment's digging in rather than admitting defeat among its candidates such as Lisa Murkowski with Neil Cavuto tonight. Murkowski is currently keeping her Senate Energy Committee leadership position.
In his interview with Cauvto, Miller spoke highly of his main endorser, Gov. Palin regarding her as a "phenomenal asset to the nation," who "has [and continues to do] extraordinary things for the country." When asked if he would endorse Gov. Palin for a 2012 POTUS run, Miller said he regarded her as being the "top of the field of candidates," but made clear that there was no quid pro quo in his statement and that he does not do business that way.
The National Review wrote a scathing editorial about the GOP protecting Murkowski rather than following the will of the voters, and removing her from the position. The National Review's editorial board called upon readers to support the Miller campaign. Gov. Palin Tweeted about the editorial at 17:15 (5:15 PM) AKDT.

Michael Grimm: McMahon Vulnerable
In a mailing sent today, GOP Congressional candidate Michael Grimm discusses how his Democratic Party opponent Congressman Michael McMahon is desperate and was specifically targeted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's special program for vulnerable incumbents.
Grimm is running for New York’s 13th Congressional District, which covers Staten Island and part of Brooklyn. Governor Palin endorsed Grimm on July 28, 2010, along with John Gomez for NY-2 who ran unopposed and won. US for Palin Publisher, Ron Devito is campaigning for Grimm. For the primary, Devito walked door-to-door in the 60th and 79th Election Districts, installed lawn signs in the 10314 zip code, called voters on primary day and closed the PS 36 poll. When Devito arrived to the victory celebration, Allegretti had already called Grimm to concede. Watch Grimm's victory speech here. Devito is continuing his work for Grimm, preparing to do another door-to-door walking blitz in his own neighborhood and one to the west of his.

Lies, Damned Lies – Obamacare 6 Months Later; It’s Time...
Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:
Retrieved from: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=433315368434.
- Posted using BlogPress from my Palin-Powered iPhone
It’s now six months since President Obama took control of one-sixth of the private sector economy with his health care “reform,” and the first changes to our health care system come into effect today. Despite overwhelming public dislike of the bill, we were told that D.C. knows best, and there was nothing to worry about, and we’d be better off swallowing the pill called Obamacare; so, in defiance of the will of the people, the President and his party rammed through this mother of all unfunded mandates. Nancy Pelosi said Congress had to pass the bill so that Americans could “find out what is in it.” We found out that it’s even worse than we feared.
Remember when the president said, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”? Not true. In Texas alone a record number of doctors are leaving the Medicare system because of the cuts in reimbursements forced on them by Obamacare! The president of the Texas Medical Association, Dr. Susan Bailey, warns that “the Medicare system is beginning to implode.”
Remember the Obama administration’s promise that Obamacare would cut a typical family’s premium “by up to $2500 a year”? Not true. In fact, fueled by reports that insurers expect premiums to rise by as much as 25 percent as a result of Obamacare, Senate Democrats are contemplating the introduction of price controls.
Remember when the president said in his address to Congress that “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions”? That turned out to be yet another one of those “You lie!” moments. We found out that Obamacare-mandated high risk insurance pools set up in states like Pennsylvania and New Mexico will fund abortions after all.
Remember the promise that Obamacare would “strengthen small businesses”? Not true either. The net result of Obamacare is that small businesses will face higher health care costs, new Medicare taxes, and higher regulation compliance costs, while the much-hyped health care tax credit for small businesses turns out to be almost impossible to obtain.
Remember the president’s promise that his bill would ensure “everyone [has] some basic security”? False again. Besides the great uncertainly that Obamacare hampers businesses with, companies now find it is actually cheaper to pay the $2000 per employee fine imposed by Obamacare than to keep insuring their workforce. This leaves millions of American workers at risk of losing their employer-provided health insurance.
And remember when the Obama administration said they would not be “rationing care” in the future? That ol’ “death panels” thing I wrote about last year? That was before Obamacare was passed. Once it passed, they admitted there was going to be rationing after all. There has to be. The reality of Obamacare is that it enshrines what the New York Times called “The Power of No” – the government’s power to say no to your request for treatment of the people you love. The fact that the president used a recess appointment to push through the nomination of Dr. Donald Berwick as head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services tells you all you need to know about this administration’s intentions. After all, Berwick is the man who said, “The decision is not whether we will ration care – the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open.”
By the way, when the administration was talking about that independent board that has the statutory power to decide which categories of treatment are worthy of funding based on efficiency calculations (that, again, sounded to me like a panel of faceless bureaucrats making life and death decisions about your loved ones – which, again, is what I referred to as a “death panel”), it was another opportunity for Americans to hear the truth about Obamacare’s intentions.
So, yes, those rationing “death panels” are there, and so are the tax increases that the president also promised were “absolutely not” in his bill. (Aren’t you tiring of the untruths coming from this White House and the liberals in Congress?) When the state of Florida filed a challenge to Obamacare on the basis that the mandates in the bill are unconstitutional, the Obama Department of Justice filed a motion to dismiss the suit by citing the Anti-Injuction Act, which blocks courts from interfering with the federal government’s ability to collect taxes. Yes, taxes! Once the bill was passed it was no longer politically inconvenient for the Obama administration to admit that it makes no difference whether the payment is a tax or a penalty because it’s “assessed and collected in the same manner.” The National Taxpayer Advocate has already warned that “Congress must provide sufficient funding” to allow the IRS to collect this new tax. Pretty soon we’ll be paying taxes just to make it possible for the IRS to collect all the additional taxes under Obamacare! Seems as if this is another surprise that the public found out about after the bill was rammed through.
But perhaps the most ridiculous promise of all was the president’s assurance that Obamacare will lead to “bending the curve” on health care spending. Yes, rationing is a part of the new system, and yes, Obamacare does raise taxes. But because the new government managed system is so incredibly complicated and expensive to run, health care spending will actually rise instead of fall. Don’t believe me? Then take a look at the Congressional Budget Office’s admittance that the CBO’s original estimate of the total costs of the bill were off by around $115 billion. Its new estimate is now above $1 trillion, and even that may be way too low. A more realistic figure calculated by the Pacific Research Institute puts the number at $2.5 to $3 trillion over the next 10 years! This is probably what President Obama was referring to when he admitted recently that he had known all along that “at the margins” his proposals were going to drive up costs. Give us a break! Only in this administration would they refer to a $3 trillion spending increase as “marginal.” Next time he comes to us with another one of his harebrained proposals for a budget-busting federal power grab, let’s make sure we remember the president’s admission that he was lying all along when he told us his health care plan was going to cut costs. He is increasing costs. He admits it now. Period.
Higher costs and worse care – is it any wonder why people are overwhelmingly in favor of repealing and replacing Obamacare? Politicians who have vacillated on this issue need to be fired. Candidates who don’t support “repeal and replace” don’t deserve your support. No amount of money spent on Washington’s “government-wide apolitical public information campaign” (otherwise known as “propaganda”) will convince Americans that this awful legislation is anything other than a debt-driven big government train wreck. We need to repeal and replace it, and that can only happen if we elect a new Congress that will make scrapping Obamacare one of its top priorities. We can replace it with pro-private sector, patient-oriented reform that the GOP has proposed.
On March 23, when Obamacare was signed into law, I launched my “Take back the 20” campaign, focusing on 20 congressional districts that John McCain and I carried in 2008 which are or were represented by members of Congress who voted in favor of Obamacare. They need to be held accountable for those votes. They voted for Obamacare. Now we can vote against them. We need to replace them with representatives who will respect the will of the people.
That’s why today I’m launching a new Take Back the 20 website at www.takebackthe20.com!
TakeBackthe20.com provides information about the candidates in these 20 districts who are committed to repealing and replacing Obamacare. It has links to their personal websites and their donation pages. It allows you to read up on them, and then support them in their race to defeat those who gave us this terrible bill.
We have to send Washington a message that it’s not acceptable to disregard the will of the people. We have to tell them enough is enough. No more defying the Constitution. No more driving us off a financial cliff. We must repeal and replace Obamacare with patient-centered, results-driven, free market reform that provides solutions to people of all income levels without bankrupting our country.
It’s time to make a stand! Let’s take back the 20!

Gov. Palin Tells Greta Van Susteren What Would Make Her Run for President - Video
By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com
Governor Palin made an appearance on "On the Record" with Greta Van Susteren tonight, live from Alaska. She discussed Christine O'Donnell, Lisa Murkowski, and a possible run for the presidency.
Greta asked what it would take for her to run. Though these weren't her exact words, according to the title of the Right Scoop's post, Governor Palin's answer could very well be this: "I would run for President if everyone else sucks"! Is that a definite "Yes, I'm running"? :)
Here's the video, via Ian Lazaren (via the Right Scoop).

Lone Star State Shines with Stephen Broden in Texas’ 30th...
Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:
It’s an honor to support Stephen Broden to represent Texas’ 30th Congressional District. As a teacher and pastor he has made it his life’s work to support the good people of the Fair Park and South Dallas areas in the beautiful Lone Star State. His community leadership helped provide better economic and educational opportunities by supporting private sector efforts to empower the people there. Through his Fair Park Friendship Center, Pastor Broden has provided practical help to those in need, proving that private charities can do much more than government can. As a Commonsense Constitutional Conservative, he is committed to getting our country back to the founding principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility.

C4P: Rasmussen Reports Miller Up by Double Digits
A Rasmussen poll indicates that Joe Miller commands 42% of the vote for Alaska's US Senate seat, with Sen. Murkowski and Democrat Scott McAdams splitting the liberal vote 27% to 25% respectively, Doug Brady, an editor of Conservatives4Palin reported today. Undecided voters account for 5% of the vote. Brady wrote:
On September 17, Murkowski launched a write-in campaign in a desperate bid to save her Senate seat. Her first campaign ad contained a misspelling of her own last name. This afternoon, Gov. Palin Tweeted news from two sources that Sen. Murkowski might be stripped of her energy committee leadership position.
Murkowski's entry into the race has had the effect of splitting the liberal vote (exactly what Ian predicted last week) and allowing Joe Miller to open up a 17 point lead against McAdams and a 15 point lead against the other liberal in the race, Lisa Murkowski.

Bill Clinton: Don't Underestimate Gov. Palin
Former President Bill Clinton said Gov. Palin is "resilient," "tough," and "somebody to be reckoned with," in an interview with Good Morning America host, George Stephanopoulos, where he covered the the sixth annual Clinton Global Initiative.
"In the Republican primaries she's very popular with the conservative base. She gets more people to come out. And she hasn't won all of her endorsements, but she's won most of them. And you know, she's a compelling, attractive figure," Clinton said. "I think she's clearly a public figure who is, who speaks well and persuasively to the people who listen to her. And she's somebody to be reckoned with,” he continued. "And she's tough."
Clinton's statements were intended to counter the left's meme that "a Sarah Palin Presidential run is the best thing that could happen to the Democrats."
Bristol Palin Joins Facebook
Bristol Palin today launched her official Facebook profile. Bristol, Gov. Palin's eldest daughter is a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, and an advocate against teen pregnancy.
I would like to welcome everybody to my new official Facebook page! The launch of this page is part of a new and exciting chapter in my life. I have decided to embark on something new and step out of my "comfort zone" in order to tell my story and advocate for the pro-life and pro-family cause.
I look forward to continuing to speak to organizations that are on the front lines of both movements every single day. It is my honor to help these groups and organizations in any way I can.
Additionally, I am excited to be competing on Dancing With the Stars with my partner Mark Ballas, and I look forward to participating as one part of an ensemble cast on one of television’s more positive, and family oriented shows. Since I arrived in LA with my son, Tripp, nearly a month ago to prepare for the competition, we’ve both had a memorable and exciting experience.
Please check in often for up to date information on DWTS, and on upcoming events which will include speaking engagements, television programs and other media appearances.
I look forward to keeping you updated, as we move forward.
Sincerely,
Bristol Palin

Spelling Your Own Name Correctly Helps for a Write-In
Mel Bryant, an editor of Conservatives4Palin, recovered a rather embarrassing ad campaign for Lisa Murkowski that had to be done over again. Her campaign misspelled her last name in their first ad for her futile write-in bid.
The above photo is a frame grab, made by Ben Smith of Politico from a 1:14 video ad and appears from 1:10 to 1:14 in the video.
Lisa Murkowski conceded to Joe Miller, then initiated this desperate bid to retain her power. The misspelling of her own name for a write-in campaign is perhaps a sign that her campaign is ill-conceived and ill-founded.
Editor's Note: See Governor Palin's memorable tweet.

C4P: Gov. Palin, Epitome of a Leader
Doug Brady, an Editor of Conservatives4Palin brought to light an excellent comment left by one of the site's readers, "RefudiateObama2012," which delineated Gov. Palin's leadership skills. The reader re-posted a third-hand narrative left by a Democrat who crossed paths with Gov. Palin throughout her nearly 20-year political career. I will echo Brady's disclaimer that the comment is hearsay and would be inadmissible as evidence in a court proceeding, but many people who know Gov. Palin would corroborate the comment.
Core Aspects of Gov. Palin's Leadership Style, per the C4P Comment:
- Gov. Palin is not an ideologue. Her actions and decisions are supported by law, not beliefs.
- She has the "ability to process information and then to quickly forge a plan with the information she was given."
- Gov. Palin is "a living, breathing, [Critical Path Method] CPM chart."
- Gov. Palin has the ability to "instantly absorb input from others and then respond with cogent solutions to problems."
- The Katie Couric interview was specifically edited to make Gov. Palin look foolish. The commenter at first thought he was viewing an imposter, not Gov. Palin. Over six hours of footage were left on the cutting room floor.
- Recommended reading: Sarah Takes on Big Oil, which describes how Gov. Palin took on the big oil companies - and won.
- She has a unique ability to get people with opposing positions to work together without either one feeling they have lost or compromised themselves.
- Gov. Palin is a bookworm and very well-read. She also has a photographic memory.
- Gov. Palin could easily destroy Obama in a debate.
- "Death panels" has been proven to be true.
- Her positions on issues are aligned with the majority of Americans. "Divisive/polarizing" are Alinksy tactics. Gov. Palin does not polarize. She galvanizes.
He said she was the epitome of a leader. She assembled her staff, listened to their advice, allowed opposing ideas to be heard, and then acted accordingly. As a manager, she advocated making a plan based on the best info available, budgeting the plan, working the plan, measuring results, and quickly adjusting the plan if it was determined it wasn't working as expected. She believed in the First Law of Holes*.*"First law on holes - when you're in one, stop digging!" - Denis Healey
Governor Palin has proven to be a Transformational Leader throughout her political career. Her ability to get people with opposing positions to work well together will be critical to her success as she continues her ascent. Another excellent book which was written specifically about her leadership style is Sarah Palin: a New Kind of Leader, by Joseph Hilley.
