When Republican presidential candidate John McCain announced his selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate today, The Anchorage Daily News
linked a two-part series from her gubernatorial campaign in 2006.
Written by senior reporter Tom Kizzia, it gets into such details as why she earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" as a high school basketball player at the same time she was named "Miss Congeniality" in a beauty contest in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. A good reporter with an expert eye for detail, Kizzia also explains her success in overthrowing established Republican officeholders that has earned her a reputation as a GOP maverick.
Upshot: There's more to her than you'd think, and Kizzia's series explains where it came from.
I'm linking here because the ADN has taken off the links from its front page. The first part ran Oct. 23, 2006; and the second part ran a day later.
