FOX News Special Documentary: Gov. Sarah Palin, An American Woman by FOXNews.com Saturday, September 6, 2008 Sarah Palin and her family have captivated voters since the Alaska governor was tapped to be John McCain’s running mate in a surprise decision a week ago. Republicans have touted her corruption-fighting record, her small-town values and the energy many say she brings to the GOP ticket. Democrats have assailed her experience level and her position on abortion, while others have focused intently on her teenage daughter’s pregnancy. But Palin has only been in the national spotlight for a short time, and there’s plenty more to know about a woman seeking to become the first female vice president of the United States. Tune in to a special FOX News documentary Sunday night for an intimate look at the family life of the GOP’s vice presidential nominee. “Gov. Sarah Palin: An American Woman”; hosted by Greta Van Susteren, will have an encore presentation at 8 p.m. Sunday.
