Small-Town Mayors on Palin

October 30, 2008 | Jeff Tiberii

She has been the Governor of Alaska for almost two years. Before that, Palin was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town of 84 hundred people - from 1996-2002. What did she take from that experience? And how will it, potentially help her in the VP role?
