Small-Town Mayors on Palin

October 30, 2008 | Jeff Tiberii

Two months ago (August 29th) Sarah Palin became the first-ever female Republican Vice Presidential Nominee. In the time since, the 44-year-old governor of Alaska has been placed under a microscope. 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? WFDD's Jeff Tiberii spoke with four local mayors of small communities and asked them to talk about their jobs, and share some thoughts on Governor Palin.
