No, I'm one of "the ones" (?) who thinks Sarah Palin *shouldn't* be VP just because she's a woman. That IMO is what the selection of her really boils down to although every conservative in this room is ignoring that elephant among us.
She also shouldn't be VP because she lacks any true experience (argue away, the facts are out there), she has a closet full of other scandals waiting for some liberal to open up, and to me most importantly she has young children who need her full attention; one a teenager in trouble (getting married isn't going to solve Bristol's problems -- teen marriages have a terrible track record), she has a 13 year old daughter just arriving on the teenage years, a son in service overseas to worry about, and especially a Downs Syndrome baby who may have physical as well as developmental problems. I think her plate is full.
As for Mr. Palin (the First Dude as he is known in Alaska), picking up the slack at home and caring for the children -- if you read Alaskan papers and blogs you will learn he is in the governor's office almost as often as she is (that's another scandal waiting to happen). I think Palin was a terrible pick and I won't be surprised by an October Surprise. JMO.
I think she calls him “first Dude” because he was her “first Dude”
I am glad you don’t know me. You would think I was REALLY BAD!!!!
