Sara Palin For Vice-President?

Sara Palin For Vice-President?

Republicans did not disappoint the Democrats last night. Sara Palin muscled her way into the presidential campaign with both guns blazing. This Annie Oakly of the party of the past delivered her populist speech riding the bounce that Huckabee and Gulliani provided in their speeches before hers. Her small town credentials combined with her uptown ambitions served to profile a woman on the move. But should she move into the White House because she is ambitious? Of course she can apply, but does she have the resume?

Her speaking skills are sound. Her populist politics are familiar. Small government. Lower taxes. Fewer welfare programs. Secure our shores. Opportunity for all who work hard. Off shore drilling. Get tough foreign policy. She is a reformer. She has taken on the "big guys" and special interests. She has won several elections. Is this enough for a modern vice-president? Further, is being a governor from a small state the credential we need in the highest office of our land should she be faced with the presidency?

Obama was diced and sliced by this pit bull with lipstick. "No executive experience." "Zero". chanted the crowd. From the PTA to Mayor to Governor may be good for the state of Alaska, but is it good for the United States of America? Is Obama lacking in day-to-day CEO experience? His rise to be the nominee of the Democratic Party has been described as brilliant and well managed. Is eighteen months of campaign management an executive credential? Is intellectual capital a credential? Is his stand on the Iraq War, health care, taxes, the environment, international affairs, oil, education, and Washington as not a place of "business as usual" an indication of his executive plan and leadership? Is Joe Biden's many years in Washington and in foreign affairs more valuable to the country than executive experience in town,city, state government in Alaska? Does the domestic and international stage require more than a hero and more than soccer mom with executive experience? I believe it does.
