Sarah Palin is hell bent on cashing in on her sex appeal, but is she running the risk of hurting herself politically? First there were leaks from Republican operatives that she greeted them in her hotel room in a towel.
At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys' club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. "I'll be just a minute," she said.
I did not believe those stories and defended her honor, but check out these photos of sexy Sarah with convenient views of her legs and crotch http://actionnooz.com/...

She is the first female politician to break the 'sexual glass ceiling.' She has successfully marketed her exceptionally good looks and her litter of kids (read sexual proclivity) in a package that the right wing is eating up.
Her sexiness has propelled her closer to the presidency than hundreds of other long serving and long suffering women in politics.
Female politicians in the US have carefully crafted their images over the years, avoiding sexy displays of skin. They worked hard to be taken seriously, and they were urged to draw attention away from their physical attributes and focus attention on their brains. Hillary Clinton and many other hardworking politicians have embraced this philosophy as the only road to higher office. Sarah Palin has turned this theory on its head.
Sarah Palin, to many, epitomizes what a 'real woman' in power should symbolize - the pitbull in a skirt with a baby on her hip. Will Palin usher in a new era of sexy, tabloid fodder female politicians? Our television shows and music industry are dominated by tawdry women. Will the political world become the new frontier for showing skin? It's a brave new world.
