If Palin's appeal is that she is the former mayor of a small city, we have: Lebanon, NH's very own Karen Liot Hill
If Palin's appeal is that she is a slightly eccentric ex-Governor who parlayed a quixotic run for national office into continued fame, we have: Burlington, VT's very own Howard Dean
If Palin's appeal is that she is a slightly eccentric ex-Governor who speaks in sentence fragments and who sometimes shows a bad temper, we have: Rye, NH's very own Judd Gregg
If Palin's appeal is that she is a slightly eccentric ex-Governor who blew a very winnable national election, we have: Brookline, MA's very own Mike Dukakis
If Palin's appeal is that she is a fierce but always ladylike Hockey Mom, we have: Bow, NH's very own Katrina Swett! (Actually, I don't know if any of the Swett kids played hockey, but one of them did play Division I-AA college football.)
If Palin's appeal is that she is an ambitious woman who still lives in the same small town where she grew up, we have: Concord, NH's very own Ann McLane Kuster!
If Palin's appeal is that she is an ambitious and conservative woman who still lives in the same small town where she grew up, and who abruptly quit her job for no good reason, we have: Nashua, NH's very own Kelly Ayotte! (Yeah, I know Nashua is the second-biggest city in NH--- but in absolute terms it's not that big a place.)
(All these people, even Kelly Ayotte, are vastly more qualified to be President than Palin is.)
