Commentary
I
love books. As a child I breezed through the early primers, Nancy Drew
mysteries, C.S. Lewis books, Lord of the Rings, newspapers, cereal
boxes, anything. You get the picture. These days I especially love
mysteries, adventure, intrigue, and imaginative, or thought provoking
stories. I get bored easily when I can guess the outcome of a story or
figure out the way a writer is going to progress the plot. I am
absolutely mesmerized when I read something that is totally surprising,
or has a fresh way of looking at a thing. Now while Governor Palin is
not a book, it has been quite an adventure to follow the "story" of her
life and political career.
Governor Palin is not one of the
"usual suspects". Her political career has been something of a
Cinderella story - her entrance into the political arena to improve her
children's school system, her rise to being the mayor of Wasilla, her
appointment to the state energy commission, her successful run to the
governorship -clearly not the ordinary political path. Her dedication
to ending corruption and cronyism is clearly the road less traveled.
Everyone
wants to know what her next moves will be. Inquiring minds want to
know. Will she run in 2012? Will she become the next guest host on a
favorite talk show? Will she write books? Will she be a stay at home
mom? Will she become a couch potato? Or, will she do what she said she
will do? That's my guess. No matter which path she chooses, my guess is
that she will speak her mind, continue to promote sound policies -
common sense policies - and she will be a force to be reckoned with.
She will not go quietly into that dark night. She doesn't need a title.
She's not retreating, just advancing in a new direction. Like I said, I
love a good mystery. We're at the end of a chapter. Get ready to turn
the page, it's going to be fun.
Here's a little post script:
Until Now.
