Look, I guess you’re just not going to answer the question. What are her qualifications? Fine, so you think education doesn’t matter, now what?
I did answer your question: her education is a PhD from the School of Hard Knocks.
She put *herself* through school, not relying on affirmative action and (possibly) Saudi princes to skate through.
Many more people will relate to that after a few years of Obama's economy, than will be impressed by Ivy League credentials which led to the CDO / derivatives boondoggle.
Reagan was right -- "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problems: government is the problem."
So more than education is needed : rather, spunk and wisdom.
You can always appoint skilled advisors (e.g. Bolton on foreign affairs) :-)
Sarah Palin is overflowing with both.
And as for experience, she's been governor of a US state, and has dealt firsthand with the Washington/Manhattan Axis, and the whole smear machine. See Andrew Sullivan for more.
So again, where's *your* Ph.D. and what is it in?
Cheers!
