The NYTimes tries their hands at derailing the barracuda.

Once Elected, Palin Hired Friends and Lashed Foes
Translation: Palin did not kiss up to the power brokers and gate keepers of political power inside the Political Industrial Complex - she tapped outsiders like herself (from Main Street USA) and kicked butt! And somehow the NY Times thinks this is a problem in a country where they only have support from their news room and a little beyond.
" So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.
Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.
When Ms. Palin had to cut her first state budget, she avoided the legion of frustrated legislators and mayors. Instead, she huddled with her budget director and her husband, Todd, an oil field worker who is not a state employee, and vetoed millions of dollars of legislative projects."

Congressional Approval Rating -- 20%
Sarah Palin Approval Rating -- 80%
I guess the people figured she was doing their business. The NYTimes wouldn't understand that type of governance.
