Palin's Accomplishments: change we have actually seen

The Wall Street Journal has a great article about Sarah Palin's accomplishments. In particularly, they look at how she took on corruption in the culture of Alaska politics, including among the establishment Republicans.

Palin, in fact, has a record of the type of change Barack Obama merely talks about - though in fact he relies on the Chicago and Cook County Democratic machine, worked to get his challengers thrown of the ballot to win his first election, has close ties to lots of corrupt figures who rely in government handouts (including Rezco), has lots of lobbyists working for him, and is tied to the ethanol lobby.

Sounds like "change we can believe in" vs. change we have actually seen.

In contrast, Democratic party hack New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd quotes Palin saying, "I wish they’d stick with the issues instead of discussing my black go-go boots." So Dowd ... ignores the issues, and discusses Palin's clothing and appearances, claiming she is only a beauty pageant contestant, "Miss Congengiality". What horrible drivel.

And you wonder why the Times keeps losing readers.
