		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m intensely interested in politics, and follow current events. I have my own opinions, of course, and they are not blandly &#8216;moderate&#8217;.

Palin, 44, who&#8217;s in her first term as governor, is a pioneering figure in Alaska, the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state&#8217;s top political job.
