Sarah Palin

Whatever you think of her politics, Sarah Palin is one of the most fascinating case studies in modern American celebrity. A small-town pageant contestant and sports reporter from Sandpoint, Idaho who rocketed from the Wasilla city council to governor of Alaska and then onto a presidential ticket in 2008 — that trajectory does not happen by accident. I find her instinct for media attention genuinely ahead of its time; she understood the merging of politics and entertainment before most of her peers did. As a study in charisma, branding, and the volatility of public life, she remains endlessly instructive to me.
