Sarah Palin

Sarah Louise Heath Palin (pronounced pay'-lynn) (born February 11, 1964) is a conservative Republican who served as the 11th Governor of Alaska from 2006 through 2009. She is the youngest person to hold this office as well as the first woman to do so in the state's history. On July 3, 2009 Palin announced that she would resign as Governor of Alaska.[1] Executive power was transferred to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell. Palin was Senator John McCain's Vice Presidential running mate in the 2008 Presidential Election,[2] and the first woman to appear on a Republican Presidential ticket.

She brought a populist image and a record of cutting wasteful spending and reforming government to McCain's ticket. In the summer of 2007, she was the most popular governor in America, after cutting 13% of Alaska's budget.[3] She is strongly pro-life and a prominent spokesperson for special needs children. She favors more competition in health care and pushed for abolishing the certificate of need regulations that interfere with opening new medical clinics.[4]

Married for 20 years, Sarah Palin's husband was a member of the United Steelworkers Union and her eldest son (of five children) is in the United States Army, having served in Iraq. In an appearance on August 30, 2008 in Washington, Pennsylvania, she was greeted by a surprisingly large crowd as she promoted the new McCain-Palin ticket.

Her memoir Going Rogue was published in November 2009, with Palin drawing large crowds to book signing occasions around the country. She comments regularly on public affairs through her Facebook page, criticizing the "death panels" of the health care reform program and praising President Obama's pro-war speech upon receiving the Nobel Peace prize in Dec. 2009. She will appear on the Fox News Channel programming on a regular basis as part of a multi-year deal.[5]
