Sarah Palin - Her Bio and Important Facts / Links / Positions (A nice consolidation from Time.com):

  1. Groundbreaking: Sarah Palin is the first woman to run on a Republican Presidential ticket (and the second woman, after 1984 Democratic candidate Geraldine Ferraro, to run for Vice President for a major party), John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin was also the first-ever female governor of Alaska — and its youngest when she was sworn in at age 42 in 2006. Born in Idaho, Palin's family moved her to Alaska as an infant, where she grew up in Wasilla, a small town of fewer than 9,000, located 45 miles north of Anchorage. She first entered politics in 1992, winning a seat on the Wasilla City Council, before going on to become the town's mayor four years later at age 32. After two terms in office, she earned statewide recognition by pursuing the nomination for lieutenant governor — which she lost by only 2,000 votes. Palin has no national experience and less than two years experience as governor, but she is unabashed about that. "That's a healthy thing," she told TIME. "That means my perspective is fresher."

  2. Conservative: Palin describes herself as pro-life and against same-sex marriage, although she claims to have good friends who are gay. In 2006 while running for governor, she said she would support a ballot initiative that denied benefits to same-sex couples, but her first veto as governor shot down such a bill. (Palin said she vetoed it because the Alaska Supreme Court deemed it unconstitutional, not because she supports gay-marriage rights.) She is Christian and pro-life, but also a supporter of birth control: she's a member of Feminists For Life (FFL), an anti-abortion, pro-contraception organization. In 2002, she wrote a letter to FFL stating that she had "adamantly supported our cause since I first understood, as a child, the atrocity of abortion." She supports the teaching of creationism in public schools, alongside evolution. She is also a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association and supports the constitutional right to bear arms.

  3. Oil Pipeline: On August 27, Palin signed a bill to give a Canadian company a license and $500 million in government subsidies to build a pipeline connecting natural gas fields in Alaska's North Slope with existing infrastructure in Canada and to the continental U.S. Alaskans have been pushing for years for construction of the pipeline, which, according to gas companies, could provide 7% of all fuel used in the U.S. Major fuel companies operating in the state — including BP and ConocoPhillips — oppose the plan, however, saying they want to build their own line. Construction could begin as early as next year, but the pipeline wouldn't be completed until at least 2017 and still faces considerable hurdles — including its massive cost, estimated to be at least $30 billion, which could stymie the plan if fuel prices continue to drop. Palin also supports natural-gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge — which McCain has opposed — but Palin is not roundly loved by the energy industry. With Democratic support, last fall she raised taxes on oil company profits.

  4. A Jock and  a Beauty Queen: Palin was born in Idaho but grew up in Alaska, and her hobbies — moose hunting, ice fishing, hiking — indicate a typical Alaskan upbringing. But it was her performance on the Wasilla High School basketball team that earned her the nickname "Sarah Barracuda"— supposedly because of her fiercely competitive nature. Palin, who played point guard, was the team's captain her senior year, and scored the final point — a free-throw — of the 1982 state championship game that Wasilla won against Anchorage. Two years later, in 1984, Palin, then 20, entered a local beauty pageant to earn college scholarship money. She was crowned Miss Wasilla — and Miss Congeniality — and went on to compete in the Miss Alaska contest, where she came in second. She graduated from the University of Idaho in 1987 with a degree in journalism, and worked briefly as a TV sportscaster in Anchorage and a commercial fisherman before pursuing a career in politics.

  5. Married Her High-School Sweetheart:  Sarah and Todd Palin eloped in 1988, having dated since high school, and reportedly used two residents of a nearby nursing home as witnesses to their nuptials at the Palmer, Alaska, courthouse. Todd, a Yup'ik Eskimo, works as a production operator for British Petroleum on Alaska's North Slope. He took an unpaid leave of absence when his wife became governor, but returned to BP's payroll in 2007 amid whispers of possible conflict of interest. "It's a blue-collar, in-the-field type job, working in a facility as a production operator, separating the oil, the gas and water. It's not a management position where decisions are being made," said Gov. Palin, promising that her husband's job would not affect her own. The "First Dude," as he is called, is also a four-time winner of the Tesoro Iron Dog, a 2,000-mile snowmobile race. During the summer he works as a fisherman at the Bristol Bay commercial salmon fishery.

  6. A Working Mom with Five (5!) Children: What a role model!  Palin and her husband, Todd, have five children. Their three daughters: Bristol, 17, Willow, 14, and Piper, 7. Their two sons: Track, 19, and infant Trig, born in April; the governor carried him to term knowing he had Down Syndrome. Palin describes herself as a "hockey mom" and has a hard-earned reputation as a dedicated working mother. She returned to work just three days after Trig was born and, when she was mayor of Wasilla, she reportedly brought her infant daughter to the office regularly. The baby slept in a car seat under her desk while Palin worked. The Palins' eldest son, Track, enlisted in the Army on Sept. 11, 2007, and is preparing to deploy to Iraq.

  7. Ethical and a Reformer: Despite her own brewing ethics scandal — Palin has been accused of abusing her power to try to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper — she has built her political career, in part, on ethics reform and whistle blowing. As mayor of Wasilla, she cut her own salary, and was appointed ethics commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. She resigned from the post after complaining that her fellow Commissioner, Republican Randy Ruerich, was raising money for the state party from energy companies he was charged with regulating. He later resigned from the commission and paid a record fine for conflict of interest violations. Palin was elected governor after campaigning as a reformer, and shortly after taking office, she passed a sweeping ethics reform bill regulating lobbyist activities and forcing more disclosure from lawmakers. Palin has enjoyed approval ratings in Alaska as high as 90%.

  8. Abuse of Power?: (This is hardly credible and doesn't present an even-handed view of the situation, but here it is). Earlier this month, a legislative panel launched a $100,000 investigation to determine whether Palin abused her influence by attempting to get her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. The panel is currently questioning whether Palin dismissed the state's safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, because he refused to fire her ex-brother-in-law, Mike Wooten, whose marriage to Palin's sister ended in a bitter divorce — and custody battle — in 2005. Palin has denied the charges, and says she did not coordinate the reported dozens of telephone calls placed by her husband and administration to Wooten's bosses. Before Palin ran for governor, she and her husband accused Wooten of drinking alcohol on the job and illegal hunting. Wooten was briefly suspended over the allegations in 2006 but never dismissed.

  9. A Pot Smoker... who is honest, unlike Bill Clinton!: In 2003, the Alaska Court of Appeals legalized the possession of small amounts — four ounces or less — of marijuana in the home, making it the only state in America to allow it. In 2006, then-governor Frank Murkowski outlawed the ruling; the Superior Court, in turn, struck down some of his restrictions (now Alaskans can possess only one ounce). The battle over marijuana became a minor issue during the 2006 Alaska gubernatorial race (which Palin won), with Murkowski claiming he had never smoked pot and Palin admitting that she had tried it. "I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled," she said at the time.
