The Miss Wasilla 1984 beauty contest featured Sarah Palin, John McCain's VP running mate, who won that year's beauty pageant. She went on to place second in the Miss Alaska pageant.

McCain's new VP pick, Sarah Palin , is being dissed by pundits who have called her "inexperienced," an "ingenue" and even "a joke." On a Washington Post thread a sexist lurker even called her "a breeder." This is a tad harsh. Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla - a town with 9,000 inhabitants. That's a lot of people. She had to preside over council meetings and wave at the folk on ceremonial occasions when she rode the moose float down the main street. You can't underestimate the pressure... Read Full Story
Who is Sarah Palin anyway? Before Senator John McCain introduced her to the world little was known about the current governor of Alaska. Her nomination for Vice President is a huge step in the right direction for women. She is the second woman ever to be on the Presidential ticket of a major party candidate. Having a woman for the Vice President ads more flavor, spark and excitement to this years election. Here is a little information on Sarah Palin. She was born Sarah Louise Heath in... Read Full Story
Rape is a horrible ordeal. Could you imagine, after living through that trauma and then reporting it to your local police station and sitting for a rape kit… the disgust you’d feel after having been charged a fee in order for the rape kit to be processed?
Well, that was the case, in Wasilla, Alaska, when Sarah Palin was its mayor.
Recently in the New York Times , Dorothy Samuels wrote about this not-so-widely known fact about Palin, who is now the governor of Alaska and the Republican... Read Full Story

But a closer look at Palin's short political career reveals that she committed some of the same ethical lapses that she has attacked, especially during her unsuccessful bid for lieutenant governor in 2002. She... Read Full Story

Last month I had the privilege of speaking at a large church in the small town of Wasilla, Alaska. At the time, few people outside of Alaska had heard of Wasilla; now almost everyone in America knows that it is the hometown of Sarah Palin, John McCain's Vice Presidential running mate. She not only grew up in Wasilla; she served as its mayor before being elected governor of Alaska. The Palins now attend the church where I spoke; in fact, during the second service the entire family stood... Read Full Story
Republican Vice Presidential candidate and Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin CANNOT have it both ways. Either she is strong and capable of running for Vice President or she needs to go back to being a hockey mom and managing her state with less than a million people - less than major metropolitan cities including Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Governor Palin started this whole lipstick and mammals controversy when at the Republican Convention during her speech she said that the only thing... Read Full Story
John McCain did something totally unexpected, (though not totally surprising), on Friday when he tapped the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin , to be his running mate. It’s amazing how much talk and discussion and potential scandal has surfaced over the Labor Day weekend. Is she a good pick? Will she help McCain? Will she attract females upset about Hillary?

There was a hurricane on Monday, too. Not a political and... Read Full Story
