Barack Obama may have won as the new President of the United States but the clear winner in the 2008 US Elections is no doubt, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate- Gov. Sarah Palin! She came out of nowhere, from this tiny state of Alaska and a few months later emerged to become a household name more famous than most of the seasoned politicians in Washington. More popular even than body builder turned Terminator actor Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was elected Governor of California in 2003.

Her name is known not only in the US but throughtout the world; and not only the offline world but the online world of the internet. She is the number one most searched keyword in the election and to this day remains to be at the top list. Almost all political websites and blogs keen on their SEOs have made sure they have enough Sarah Palin articles to draw people to their sites and appear on Google searches. And why not?

you didn't continue reading did you? :-)

The article suggests this link:

Sarah Palin’s Top Ten Stupidest Moments

besides that, it's always easy to say anything in hindsight- what could have beens and the what ifs. bottomline, the "heavy marketing and spin" is part of the campaign from both sides. the liberals campaigned harder didn't they? with $600 million in funding- that's why Obama is President and not Mccain.

On the case of Sarah Palin, the media and the public obviously saw something in her, the unexplained x-factor that soared her popularity. good or bad publicity is still publicity. the media wouldn't be talking about her, in fact using and capitalizing on her- if the public aren't buying the name Sarah Palin. Her name should have died after the November 4th. guess what, it didn't...
