Palin is great for the media because she's such a wacko. It seems to me
that if you aren't aware of that, then you just aren't paying attention.
Specifically, you mentioned small government. If you go here:

and look for an article starting with "Palin As Reformer", you can get
some background on her.
"Both as mayor of Wasilla and as governor, Palin has aggressively sought
federal earmarks, and has a friendlier relationship with indicted GOP
senator Ted Stevens than one would expect for a good-government
crusader. She has fired employees who she sees as disloyal. And, in a
move reminiscent of the Bush-Cheney White House, she has stonewalled
legitimate efforts by the legislature to uncover the truth in the
Trooper-Gate affair."
The article goes on to list some more of her reformist credentials. Each
item on the list includes links to articles to back it up.
Have fun!
