On a local (Baltimore) talk show yesterday, a county executive phoned in to say that he had been a mayor of a town similar to Palin’s and he called it a “twenty four hour a day part time job.” He said that you are responsible for the trash pickup, the grass mowed on the ballfield, as well as balancing the budget, etc.
He also said that the residents know where you live, where you shop and go to church
Yep. How many people can rise from a job with real accountability mandated like a local mayor to the heights Palin has reached? She is someone with a real record as a leader and administrator. That’s what mayors and county execs and governors do. They either put up or get voted out. Of the four people involved in this thing, she has the MOST experience in answering the direct demands of voters and constituents with real results. I’m already up-to-here sick of hearing the libs question her experience. Their guy Obama has nothing to rival Palin’s and Biden has spent decades bloviating, flip-flopping, lining his own pockets and getting his kids cushy jobs in exchange for legislative favors. There isn’t even one fixed pothole out there anywhere in the country that Biden has ever been responsible for.
Apparently about 25000 people work in connection with the 535 elected officials on Capitol Hill. Budget numbers that could cause another rebellion if they became widely known. The three senators running in this election have always had huge staffs to rely on for the heavy duty work, and that is how they would continue in office.
Sarah Palin is the real deal, and thank God, McCain recognized it.
