Back before theOprah interview and the resignation as governor of Alaska, before Tina Fey's impersonation and the announcement of Bristol's pregnancy, way back to the day John McCain named his running mate, Lisa Copeland was a Sarah Palin fan. ''When she gave her convention speech, I sat in my living room and wept,'' says Copeland, a lifelong Republican and Texas native, who is a founder of a nonprofit group, the Project 19 Foundation, to move more women into political and professional leadership roles. ''She was my age, she looks like me. I really thought she would save the party.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
