Synopsis: SARAH PALIN , forty two, a hockey mom and former small-town mayor, thought her dream of making a difference in the male-dominated realm of Alaska politics was over when she clashed with the state chairman of her Republican Party and went head to head with the powerful Republican governor over issues having to do with ethics and openness in government. Yet, the former prep basketball star and one-time beauty queen could not shake a feeling that she was destined for something bigger. In 2006, she became a long-shot candidate for governor, demanding a higher ethical standard in state government. Then, fate intervened. Her populist reform message suddenly became frontpage news when a major political scandal rocked Alaska politics. Alaskans began listening to her. And they liked what they heard. This is the story of how the biggest political upset in state history propelled Sarah Palin into the governor's office.
