Uxelwe ukuba unobukrelekrele, unzima kwaye ungumama osebenzayo kwezopolitiko onolwazi.
Uye waba ngumxholo wendlela yosasazo enomdla kwimithombo yeendaba kunye nokumangalisa kwamabali kunye neefoto ngaye kunye nosapho - ezinye ziyinyani kwaye ezinye zenziwe ngamaphiko kwi-intanethi.
Ukufika kwakhe kwindawo leyo kubangele iingxoxo zetheyibhile ezingapheliyo malunga nokuba ngumzali, umsebenzi, ukukhulelwa kolutsha kunye nobufazi. Igama lakhe lidlule ukubetha kukaGoogle 'kweParis Hilton' kunye 'noMichael Phelps.'
Intetho yakhe kwindibano yeRiphabhlikhi yadibana nokuphefumla okungaphantsi kovuyo lwabathunywa abangamadoda kangangokuba ndazibuza ukuba ingaba uvele na, njengoko kubonisiwe kulomfanekiso ngoku udumileyo, kwiflegi yebhikini ephethe umpu ophakanyiswe phezulu.
Iqela laseMcCain lisebenze ngokungadinwayo ukuvelisa isekela likamongameli, uSarah Palin, 'njengomhlaziyi' kunye nezopolitiko ezinzima, ezibetha impempe ezithatha 'amakhwenkwe amadala' eAlaska zaphumelela. Kodwa inyani kukuba uPalin uzinze ngokupheleleyo 'kwinethiwekhi yamakhwenkwe amadala' esithi walwa.
Okubi kakhulu kukuba imigaqo-nkqubo kaPalin, ekude ngasekunene kwesininzi kweli lizwe, ayizukunceda abantu basetyhini kodwa iya kubuyisa ubufazi ngasemva kunye 'namakhwenkwe amadala' ewadi.
Ukujongana nokuthandwa kukaBarack Obama ngabafazi kunye nabavoti beekhola eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, abantu abanokuthi bathathe isigqibo malunga nolonyulo, iqela laseMcCain lalidinga indlela yokuphakamisa iphulo lalo kwisidenge salo. Ukhetho olothusayo nolunobungozi kwirhuluneli yaseAlaskan engaziwayo njengoko iqabane likaMcCain labonakala ngathi licebo elibi, nelilungileyo lokuzama ukwenza imali kunye nokulukuhla abaxhasi abangonelisekiyo bakaHillary Clinton ababenethemba lokubona umfazi kwitikiti likamongameli.
Uluvo lokuba abasetyhini abanokuthi bavotele uClinton ngoku baya kuvotela uPalin (kunye noMcCain) ngenxa yokuba besabelana ngesini kubonakala ngathi kuyaphambanisa. Ukanti enye yeepesenti ze-ABC News-Washington Post poll icebisa ukuba kwizithende zokhetho lwePalin, abafazi abamhlophe basukile ekuxhaseni u-Obama ngamanqaku asibhozo ukuxhasa iMcCain ngamanqaku ali-12.
Akukaziwa nokuba loo manani e-poll abonisa utshintsho phakathi kwabafazi abavotayo okanye nokuba ngaba bajikeleza. Into icaca gca, njengoko uPalin edlulileyo ethe chu, kukuba ukhululekile xa etshintsha ubabalo kwaye edlala ngemithetho 'yeklabhu yamakhwenkwe amadala' - ebonakala ngathi yincwadi yabo yokudlala.
U-Palin akazange abe neentloni malunga nokwamkela okanye ukunika i-plums yezopolitiko. Ngo-2002, kungekudala emva kokuba engaphumelelanga ukubaleka kwirhuluneli ye-lieutenant, wonyulwa ngulowo wayesakuba ngu-Gov.Frank Murkowski ukuba abe ngusihlalo weKhomishini yoLondolozo lwe-Oyile neGesi e-Alaska kwaye wanikwa umvuzo wamanani amathandathu nangona wayengenayo imvelaphi kwimiba enjalo.
Emva kokuba uPalin engatyhalanga uMurkowski njengerhuluneli, wazikhuphela ngokwakhe iiplums. Iplum enye - isikhundla esihlawulelwayo njengomlawuli weNgxowa-mali esisigxina ye-Alaska engama-35 ezigidi, ethi ibuyise irhafu yeoyile kubahlali-yaya kumhlobo osenyongweni kaPalin uDebbie Richter, owayekwangunondyebo wekomiti yephulo lika-Palin. Omnye waya ku-Aryne Randall, umphathi wesebe lebhanki i-Wells Fargo enike iiPalins kunye neRichters iimali mboleko zepropathi zabo. Utyekelo lukaPalin lokujonga ikhronyism kunye nesimbo solawulo olunzima luye lwabeka uphawu lwezopolitiko kuye, kwaye ushiye umtya wokudubula ngokungathandabuzekiyo kunye nokuyeka emsebenzini.
Nje ukuba usodolophu wase-Wasilla ngo-1996, uPalin wagxotha umphathi wamapolisa, wafuna ukurhoxa kuzo zonke ezinye iintloko zesebe, kubandakanya umcwangcisi wesixeko kunye ne-direc tor, kwaye wazama ukugxotha unoncwadi wesixeko- owalayo ukususa iincwadi kwithala leencwadi ledolophu- Ukuboleka kuphela xa idolophu ibonakalisa isenzo sayo.
Abagxeki basekuhlaleni batyhola uPalin endaweni yeqela lamakhwenkwe amadala 'ngeseti entsha yamakhwenkwe amadala,' eqesha abasebenzi abangenamava kunye nomphathi wedolophu ukuba benze umsebenzi wokuqhuba idolophu encinci ngelixa wayefumana umvuzo wakhe kasodolophu.
Ngelixa irhuluneli, wagxotha umkhomishinala wokhuseleko likarhulumente, etyholwa ngokuba engavumi ukugxotha usibali-mthetho wakhe, igosa likarhulumente elalisilwela udade boPalin. Imali yotyalo mali kwi 'troopergate' iyaqhubeka. Kunyaka ophelileyo, uPalin wamgxotha ngesiquphe umncedisi wakhe wexesha elide kunye nomthetho we-direc torc, uJohn Bitney, kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa emva kokuba umhlobo wakhe uScott Richter emxelele ukuba uBitney wayethandana nowayesakuba ngumfazi kaRichter, uDebbie.
Ngelixa kuncinci okwaziwayo malunga noPalin, siyazi ukuba uMcCain ukhethe umntu oza kuba liqabane lakhe, njengenkokeli enokubakho kwiFree World, obambe isikhundla kwimicimbi yabasetyhini engadibaniyo nesininzi sabavoti. Kuyinyani ngokukodwa kwimeko yakhe yobomi, eya kuthi ikhanyele ukukhupha isisu kwabasetyhini kwanakwiimeko zokudlwengulwa kunye nolwabelana ngesondo.
Siyazi ukuba izityholo ezijikelezayo zokusebenzisa gwenxa amandla, ubuqhetseba kunye nelifa lokudubula kubuchaphazele ubomi bakhe bezopolitiko. Siyazi kwakhona ukuba 'inethiwekhi yamakhwenkwe amadala' ivumela abafazi ukuba badlale ukuba badlala ngemithetho, kwaye uPalin ubonakala ngathi ubazi kakuhle.
