Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Sarah Palin has become an instant celebrity in the political world, a phenomenon that has shaken up the presidential race.
A beehived governor from a huge oil state with a sharp accent and a tart tongue? We’ve been there.
Ann Richards lit up the 1988 Democratic convention much as Palin did the GOP convention 20 years later. There are a lot of similarities, and a lot of differences, between the two, as the chart after the jump shows.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
