Well, if that's the deal breaker how did Obama manage? He has never held a job full term. In every case Obama has quit to seek a higher position.
As for Palin’s leaving Alaska, ask an Alaskan what they think. I have. We have some Alaskan friends here in Florida. They're appreciative to Palin for getting the state out of the massive assault on the office of the Governor.
Alaskans are no nonsense people. They're practical people. They understand that her ability to govern was virtually halted with red tape generated via ethics lawsuits. She handled the problem practically. She left. A smart move that served the people of Alaska well.
All they heard of the matter, for the most part, was whatever the MSM decided to spoon feed them, and what they heard was ‘ethics charges’, ‘misappropriation of funds’, ‘favoritism’ and ‘abuse of office.’ Most times, when they hear that down in the lower 48, it generally means someone’s guilty, and then in exchange for dropping charges, the person shuffles on off.
Not trying to derail the campaign, just think that if she comes through the primaries unscathed on the issue, it'll be front and center come the general. As for Obama’s qualifications, let's be honest, he was black, not Jessie Jackson, a Democrat, and could read a teleprompter. Those were all the qualifications required when a lot of voters were faced with the idea of Bill Clinton going back into the White House in the primaries, or John McPain’s brilliant strategy to attempt to lose each and every state in the general election.
And let me tell you, as bad as Obama is, having a liberal in the office that actually knew how to work the system and has a deep habit of supporting liberal causes in exchange for oohs and ahhs from the mainstream media? I'm very glad that McPain lost the election.
We'll see how it all plays out. Palin’s got a lot of skill in inspiring people, but up against the teleprompter in chief, I really think she needs much more in her pocket. I'd love to see her turn the campaign into a national referendum on a solid conservative budget, as I think it's a winning combination at the moment, but fear that it'll be inspiring vision vs inspiring vision, and no one’s going to try to actually give the voter a real choice this go around.
