That said I'm interested in knowing how you know, Iss that she came to success in that particular manner.
1. How do you know she did not?
2. Why would you assume she did not?
3. If she had not, Democratic political operatives, local Alaskan Dems, and the hoard of "leg-tingling" Obama-oriented media that descended on Alaska would have tripped over themselves in painting her a pampered female of privilege who was handed all she got. Do you disagree?;-)
Yours in observation,
