Southtown Star: Fran Eaton: ‘Film shows Palin’s someone to admire’

Great write up about The Undefeated movie by Fran Eaton:

A governor who’s self-centered, self-consumed, ill-informed about and disengaged in the state’s affairs. An elected head of state who would avoid important meetings with the budget director by hiding in the bathroom. A governor who would spend eight hours or less in the office, staying home or attending events rather than focusing on the state’s business.

That’s exactly how Robert Greenlee, Rod Blagojevich’s deputy governor, described his former boss.

And it’s exactly what most Americans expected 24,000 pages of personal and business emails to reveal about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Obsessive news hounds scrounged through pages and pages, looking for damning information that could wipe the outspoken conservative from America’s political scene.

What they found, though not so widely publicized, was the inner workings of an efficient, informed and very involved governor that mounted an unprecedented 80 plus approval rating while in office. The people of Alaska loved her and appreciated her backbone and focus on making their state a better place.

Such a contrast to Blago.
