How has Sara Palin's Strategic Win of the Miss Wasilla Beauty Contest Prepared Her For The Vice Presidency?

Sarah Palin is not bringing up her experience in beauty pageants - her opponents are. So she participated in them to try and make money to pay for college. What is wrong with that? Nobody was born a governor or vice president - every person who has ever been in any office had a life before their election. Move on. Besides - are you saying a beauty queen can be NOTHING more than just a beauty queen? We all have many sides, have done many things and have grown with our experiences.
