Sarah Palin was the only one on either ticket with executive experience and a record of accomplishment. Now everyone knows what we all knew back then:
1) McCain is a faux conservative.
2) Biden is a doofus.
3) Barak Obama easily makes Jimmy Carter the 2nd worst president in the nations history.
Of the 2008 race...considering the four ‘players’, it was the most marginal group in the past fifty years to run for office. McCain and Biden were career Senators, with blemished records and had shown incompetence at various levels. Obama and Palin both lacked experience, and had short resumes. If Palin had served two terms as governor of Alaska....I might feel different, but she really didn’t have a long record to make her attractive at the national position.
