Palin is an expert on energy, and in today’s world, THAT is real and meaningful economic, national security and foreign policy credentials.

Why?

Russia is launching a clandestine assault on the West using terrorist states as proxies.

Georgia is strategic for both oil distribution, and for preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

In this increasingly-dangerous environment, ZERO would have America unilaterally disarm and barred from achieving energy independence.

HERO vs. ZERO

John S. McCain vs. Barack H. Obama

Excellent strategy here. With Palin “in charge” of energy policy, that gives McCain cover to flip on ANWR.

Somebody should read history.

The BOLSHEVIKS killed the Tsar (Czar).

Sarah to energy.

Juan Hernandez to border security.

Great.

“Excellent strategy here. With Palin “in charge” of energy policy, that gives McCain cover to flip on ANWR.”

I agree. He’s telegraphing this to us without coming right out and saying it in order to protect his campaign from charges of flip-flopping.

He needs to keep pushing “Palin as Energy Czar” topic hard.

Palin the Energy Czar. That just sounds right.

I predicted exactly that a few ago (just ask my wife) and it is a logical job to give to Palin. You may have noted that Global Warming didn't get much of a push at the Republican Convention. I think this is the Palin influence. And the next obvious move for McCain is to listen to his Energy Czar and go for it in ANWR. That's what they should be betting on at Intrade.

You are right on the history, but I think she has a point. When someone in the government is the “Czar” of something, that implies a degree of government intervention that could be viewed as socialist.

She also has to be given a visible role in foreign policy, because that will continue to be the rap on her, that she is unprepared to deal with foreign policy matters.

Not to nitpick, but it was socialists that overthrew the Czar.

My line would have been, "Czars are for Russians."

Yes, some of us haven’t forgotten!

But Palin is a good start.
