"Sarah Barracuda" is as impressive with political and policy associates close-up as she is from media glimpses at a distance, my radio listeners were told on 8/31. Listen to the podcast here. Mead Treadwell, who helps lead an Alaska think tank, told us at length in a phone interview from Anchorage about his years of interaction with Sarah Palin when she was mayor of Wasilla and more recently governor of the state.
Posting of that night's full audio on our website is delayed while Kathleen LeCrone is away at RNC St. Paul, so here's the half-hour with Treadwell on Palin, courtesy of Joshua Sharf's website.
