Actually, I think Ed was right on the money with everything he said. It IS better to have someone as security sec who doesn’t have a family, especially a woman. So what if there’s a double standard? That doesn’t mean that a married woman with children couldn’t do it, but it’s better with anyone, esp. a woman, without an immediate family and those demands on their time.
Palin has wonderful political instincts, but I never saw her as a genius. I double she sees herself that way. Geniuses have a tendency to spend their time talking or working in the lab, not doing what needs to be done as a successful politician. Palin is talented, intelligent and a superb politician. Eddies didn’t do a bad job here.
“Palin has wonderful political instincts, but I never saw her as a genius”.
...exactly what we DON’T need! Palin has great instincts, guts, stamina, is positive and has common sense. Those make for a great POTUS. (IMHO) BO is a criminal genius. Not good.
