Republican, Alaska Governor | featured news

The first thing that's wrong with the new documentary glorifying former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the title."The Undefeated" profiles Palin's rise as a national heroine to the tea party, but it fails to mention that she's actually been defeated. Setting aside the 2008 presidential race when her party's ticket did not claim the White House, Palin lost a 2002 GOP primary for lieutenant governor.

The 24,199 pages of printed-out e-mails provide vivid new color and fresh details to her public portrait.

Much of the country was taken by surprise when Sarah Palin became the Republican vice presidential candidate in August 2008, but newly released emails show the little-known Alaska governor was angling for the slot months before Sen. John McCain asked her to join him on the GOP ticket.
