Marilyn Trillo of Warwick, Miss Rhode Island in 1967 and runner-up in that year's Miss America Pageant, can identify with Sarah Palin. The 44-year-old Alaska governor was Miss Wasilla 1984 and runner up to Miss Alaska. So when John McCain named Palin as his running mate, "I began to Google her and I became hooked, by her beliefs, by the fact that she's a tough, smart cookie,'' said Trillo.

Now that she has absorbed Palin's acceptance speech to the nation, "She's even better than I thought,'' said Trillo, who is a voice teacher, mother of a grown daughter, and wife of Rhode Island's newly elected national committeeman, Rep. Joe Trillo. "And it's only beginning. I think we are only seeing the beginning of what Sarah Palin is about.''

Between this and choosing to take an eight hour long plane ride after she started labor, I’m thinking… the Brittany Spears school of parenting.
