As seen on TV: From the people who brought your the pet rock and "send us your jewelery and we swear we'll send you back the money it's worth" comes America's next great example of marketing genius: Sarah Palin.

Brilliantly released to the public when the competition was riding high, this moose-skinning, gun-totin' with a baby on her hip Ronda Storms of the Great White North was just the shot in the arm her party needed.

With little raw material to work with, they have transformed the mayor of a town no bigger the Mango-Dover-Thonotasassa tri-city area into an executive ready to assume the biggest job in the free world. Not only that, but as a bonus she somehow turns a grumpy old longtime Washington insider into a Maverick champion for change.

With America's famous short-term memory, who's going to remember that one morning we woke up and Gerald Ford was the president of the United States?
