Sarah Palin came to prominence as John McCain’s running mate during his 2008 presidential campaign. Regrettably, Barack Obama emerged victorious.
Born in Sandpoint, Idaho, in 1964, she was relocated to Wasilla, Alaska, with her family when she was an infant.
She was a basketball sensation in high school. She was extraordinary in both athletics and leadership; it was at a basketball game that she encountered her future spouse, Todd Palin.
Their daring and impulsive personalities were evident in their 1988 elopement, which was witnessed by residents of a nearby pioneer home.
Palin’s interests in athletics and journalism were evident in the names of their five children. In 1992, she initiated her political career by supporting Todd’s family business and working in the media.
