THERE, BUT FOR THE DISGRACE OF THE HOUSE GOP, GOES OUR VP:

Palin's biographer impressed with the governor (Chad Groening, 3/03/09, OneNewsNow)

A biographer of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin contends that if the economy hadn't tanked, her presence on the GOP ticket would have made the election much closer than it turned out.

Lorenzo Benet is an assistant editor at People magazine who traveled to Alaska to interview Governor Palin last summer with the idea of writing a book about only the second sitting governor to give birth to a child while in office.

But in his recently released biography Trailblazer: An Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin (Threshold Editions, Feb. 2009), Benet recounts how the entire focus of his book changed when John McCain picked her to be his running mate last year.

9/25/08, a day that will live in infamy.
