I had the priviledge to see Sarah Palin at a Rally the week before the election. I took my 13 y/o daughter, who 3 years prior had decided to become a lawyer. After the rally my daughter turned to me and said "Mom, in 15 years that will be me up there and you will be standing beside me". I admit it, I teared up.
So yes, Sarah is inspiring and truly an american, who wants to keep this country what it was founded on. It was founded on hope, trust and courage to pursue our freedoms. It was also founded on protecting our right to religion.
If Sarah ran in 2012. I know I would vote for her, and my daughter is already complaining that she will only be 17 for the next election and wont be able to vote. My daughter has a poster on her wall of Palin, so she has definately made an impact on our thinking and our home.
