Behold, the Palin Doodles

Intrepid New Republic reporter Noam Scheiber has come back from the Last Frontier with documents that shed light on what John McCain might call “the real Sarah Palin.” While not likely to be displayed alongside the Rosetta Stone, the Palin Doodles are edifying all the same. Palin scribbled down some broad themes when she was running for mayor of Wasilla in 1996. See if they sound familiar: “time for a change,” “lifelong Alaskan,” “part of the bureaucracy,” and (of course) “no tax increase.” Scheiber also unearthed a letter in which Palin warned of Wasilla becoming a “mini Seattle”—a movement she no doubt stopped singlehandedly.
