Sarah Palin, ex gobernadora del estado de Alaska y su trayectoria polçitica como ambientalista en Palingates: Big oil: "During her campaign for the governorship of Alaska, Sarah Palin projected the image of a maverick, prepared to fight corruption within her own party and take on "Big Oil"./After she was elected, Sarah Palin did indeed raise taxes for the big oil companies in Alaska, swelling the state's coffers in the process. For that she became very popular. Many corrupt individuals were also exposed and she consolidated her reputation as a maverick. Much of the campaign for the vice presidency was based on these claims and reinforced the image she projected in 2006, making her the darling of the far right in the wider national arena."
