Rubbish!
We are are talking a VP choice, not a Presidential choice. Palin will have the luxury of “learning on the job” which Obama wouldn’t.
What would you prefer? - An experienced President and an inexperienced “Funeral Attender” or an inexperienced President and an experienced “Funeral Attender”?
With O as president, he will continue to receive lessons from the DNC that he is their puppet.
When you read her life story...this isn’t some punk who did the Yale experience, charmed their handlers in Chicago, danced to Washington lobbyists, skipped rope with the Saudis, or ever sipped a $50 bottle of wine.
Frankly, after reading her real resume....she’s the first Republican who actually lived a life like most of us would dream of, and be totally happy at this point in life with kids, a husband, and a political star that was sufficient right there as the mayor of a small town in Alaska. Had it not been this shift in her perception of Alaskan corruption and the mess that was going on...it was only then that she decided to run for governor and clean up what other Republicans wouldn’t do.
I don’t see her as a “learner” of being VP. I think we will get someone that thinks of the nation as a hometown affair where people respect ethics and responsibility. I don’t think you will ever see her sling mud. She knows the simple life and just might be the one of the best Republicans ever to serve as President or Vice-President. And in 2012 or 2016, when McCain steps down....she will be elected as President and likely continue on for us. We are looking at twelve to sixteen years remaining from this act today of McCains. It was the smartest move that he could have made.
