Who Is The Real Palin?

I am beginning to wonder who Sara Palin really is. I know a few things that she is not. She is not a maverick and she is not going to be crowned mother of the year (premature grandmother of the year - maybe). But, who the hell is she really? Is she the gun-toting girl next door? Is she is a fashionista? Is she a god-fearing family woman? Or is she a demanding diva?

I cannot be the only one confused about her true identity. But, I find it awful interesting that those working for the McCain-Palin campaign are dishing on the Alaskan governor - and not in a positive way.

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," a McCain adviser said. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else. It concerns me that Palin cannot foster good relationships with those who are obviously in her corner. I can understand her being on the defensive side when it comes to the media, but not her own campaign advisers. If she doesn't trust these advisers, will she trust the White House advisers come January if elected?

If the McCain advisor is stating the truth when saying "[Palin] is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party," then the American people have something to worry about. And, when I really think about it...if this statement is true, then I can deduce something else about Sara Palin. She and John McCain have more in common than just sharing the Republican ticket. They both are putting personal politics before the country (the Chicago Tribune declares this about John McCain) at a time when the country needs all the help it can get.
