Sarah Palin's Boost from the Bay State
By oddjob60 on Fri, 10/10/2008 - 2:57pm
So it turns out Sarah Palin apparently didn't catch John McCain's eye with good looks alone. The Washington Post reports today that she had help from Marcia Brier, a PR consultant based in Needham.
Brier was brought in on a state-funded contract to boost pipeline project awareness in the lower 48. In Palin she seemed to find the best public voice for the project:
An outside public relations expert hired under a $31,000 contract with the state Department of Natural Resources pitched the "upstart governor" as a crusader against Big Oil, a story line that Palin has adopted in her campaign as Sen. John McCain's running mate.
As Brier did her job, Palin moved into the GOP's line of sight, first as a longshot running mate for McCain, and then, the choice.
Reached by telephone, Brier confirmed that she worked with Palin, "but once she became the vice presidential nominee, I stopped."

Oh good, at least Marcia
Oh good, at least Marcia Brier's not responsible for the Hockey Mom moose dropping. What a load of crap.... Really A
hockeysoccer mom? She just like me, dumber than sand, don'cha know.Branchflower's "Troopergate" report is due out today. We'll find out how Todd got access to Officer Wooten's personal file and how the Gov used her office to pursue this personal family vendetta.
The most troubling issue so far is that Sarah and her sister went to court to get a protective order. Sarah's sister claimed she was beaten by her husband and got the protective order. Later the judge reprimanded her sister because there was no assault. The Gov's interference in this family matter should be a big concern for everyone who is deciding who to vote for.
