I like Palin for a lot of reasons (some included in your post.) However, I think maybe the biggest reason is, I think she truly loves Alaska and America as a whole and wants what's best for the American people.
People like Obama are more concerned with the world as a whole. There are jobs for people like that. I just don't think the US presidency should be one of them.
I hear this whole "president of the world" thing all the time. I'm not saying this is why you think it, but talking with my grandmother and several people at say, work on lunch break specifically during the 08 election, it has a lot to do with his trip to Germany. It has been a role of every president since FDR though to be a "President of the World".
Just in my lifetime though, Does "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.", HW Bush and Noreiga and Desert Storm, Clinton and Bosnia, GW and Iraqi, Afghanistan, Axis of Evil, and now essentially Obama's strategy being similar to Bush's except with more of a reach towards our muslim allies.
Clearly, with ditching her post as govenor in favor of book deals, a show on TLC, commentator on Fox News, and her high cost to speak for causes she "believes in" like the Tea Party rallies she believes in the American dream far more than she does America or the American people.
