...There is a curious omission in the book: Johnson doesn't write about Palin's beauty queen days, when she came in second in the Miss Alaska contest and was named Miss Congeniality. The reader wonders why that was left out - and whether it might have contrasted with Palin's crusading politician backstory. Likewise, there is no mention of her pro-life stance, or her views on creationism. But her religious beliefs, including her baptism at 12 years old, are mentioned with approval...

Whether it will go down as an economy-shattering debacle or a near miss is something we'll only figure out over the coming days and weeks.

They share a rhetoric based on the same assumptions that "the national mood isn't to have an old lag who's been around in politics for 20 years. People want generational change." That's Willetts describing Cameron, but it might just as well be Joe Biden talking about Obama...
