For outdoors lovers, Palin puts real life in the campaign
There had to be screams of joy coming from the woods, the hunting camps, the duck blinds and the fishing boats out on Lake Erie. An announcement on Friday gave outdoors lovers something to really get excited about. Sarah Palin is a candidate for vice president of the United States of America. Hunters and fishermen might have never had a better friend on the national political scene. John McCain could not have made a better choice. Besides serving as the governor of Alaska, where a lot of outdoors dreams become reality, Palin is a tough, straight-talking and not afraid to take on the big boys. Her background just about says it all. Born in Idaho, Palin’s family moved to Alaska when she was an infant. Living in union with the outdoors is the only life she has known. In her youth, Palin used to get up at 3 a.m. and go moose hunting with her dad before school. She enjoys ice fishing, and her husband worked for a long time as a commercial fisherman.
