“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” : Governor Sarah Palin is ready to lead.
In a time when many are becoming discouraged there is a leader that can be found, in the far north. Who enlisted the Alaskan legislature to support her conservative principles by reminding Alaskans that in time of troubles “When it matters most, lesser differences fall away. Just like family, Alaskans unite.”
This woman Gov. Sarah Palin has a true pioneer spirit, who’s unshakable strength of spirit says like Thomas Paine “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” McCain and Obama are shadows when set next to her brilliant spirit. This woman will be the next President of the United States. Her critics remind me of the critics of Football Great Tim Tebow, that say he doesn't have the best stats or the best form but he wins football game by sheer force of will.
"I used to wonder if the occasionally rough edges of politics were unique here under the Great North Star. But I ventured out a bit this past year, and I tell you that, as partisan quarrels go, ours really aren’t so bad. At our best, we are forthright in our opinions, charitable in our judgments and fair just like the people who hired us to work for them.
Today, when challenges may seem as high as Mt. McKinley, and change as constant as the mighty Yukon flows, and political events send shockwaves through our foundation like the '64 quake – what do Alaskans do? We climb Denali*, we forge the river, we rebuild a stronger foundation on higher ground. When it matters most, lesser differences fall away. Just like family, Alaskans unite.
It was this kind of determined action that turned the northland wilds into a territory, a territory into a state, and that state, across 50 years, into a land of industry, opportunity, and enduring beauty. And now that perseverance is needed again, as we go through a time of testing for our country – a time of economic worry for many Alaskans – a time of challenge to the wisdom and resolve of state government.
Governor Wally Hickel said he feared more than any economic depression – a depression of the spirit. Alaska, it's time we revive the optimistic, pioneering spirit that our founding mothers and fathers birthed in our State Constitution! As we celebrate statehood – let that spirit rise now, and our actions correspond as our founders intended." from Palin's State of State speech last night.

Gov. Palin at the end of the Vice-Presidential debate said
"It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we're going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children's children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free."
