Book Reviews of Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down

Book Review: Upside Down?
Summary: 1 Stars

Sarah Palin turned the political establishment upside down? This unprepared small-time politician was derided for her lack of qualification, intelligence and poise during her vice presidential run and ultimately lost her campaign in a convincing and incontroverted manner. Where's the turning upside down? It seems to me that she did not even budge the political establishment, much less turn it upside down.

What we need less is another sanitized bio of politicians written as platform to launch their campaigns. This is one of those books. Biased, sanitized, utterly uninformative and empty. Avoid.

Summary of Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down

In 2006, an angel-faced but tough forty-two-year-old former small-town mayor named Sarah Palin became a long-shot candidate for Alaska governor demanding a higher ethical standard in state government. The timing of her reform message and a widening scandal produced a tornado that reshaped the political landscape. Surprising everyone, Palin thumped by wide margins both a sitting governor in the Republican primary election and a former governor in the general election to become Alaska's first female chief executive and its youngest ever. Through the campaign, and early in Palin's first term, the energetic and attractive mother of five achieved near-heroine status in her state. At one point, the new governor's approval rating reached 90 percent, prompting the Fox News Network to describe her as "a Politician with eye-popping integrity" and some national GOP leaders to tout her as a prototype of the "new Republican."
