Even Palin couldn’t get me to vote for McCain, but her daughter’s pregnancy just reinforces what seems to me a big part of her emotional appeal. It’s more than her being a relatively normal person; rather, her family represents vitality and life — the men are virile, the women are fecund — as opposed to the effete, navel-gazing, metrosexual arugula-muncher heading the other ticket. The only downside is that her grandchild won’t come before the election.

Sort of along those lines, no one here seems to have mentioned “Sarah Palin Facts,” the Chuck Norris/Davey Crockett-style hyperbole about the governor. (h/t Sailer) Some of my favorites:

  • Sarah Palin uses French Canadians as bait to catch giant king salmon.
  • In the original version, He-Man had the power of Sarah Palin, but the writers felt this would make him way too powerful.
  • Sarah Palin was kicked off Survivor for killing a man and eating his entrails.
  • Sarah Palin will give birth to the man who will lead humanity’s war against the machines.
