Gov. Sarah Palin Ready To Lead?
Gov. Sarah Palin Ready To Lead? - An Alaskan news paper published an article with the burning question that is on everybody’s mind,minus John McCain of course : is Gov. Sarah Palin ready to replace the president if needed? The Anchorage Daily News wrote:
It’s stunning that someone with so little national and international experience might be heartbeat away from the presidency.
Gov. Palin is a classic Alaska story. She is an example of the opportunity our state offers to those with talent, initiative and determination…
McCain picked Palin despite a recent blemish on her ethically pure resume. While she was governor, members of her family and staff tried to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from the Alaska State Troopers. Her public safety commissioner would not do so; she forced him out, supposedly for other reasons. While she runs for vice-president, the Legislature has an investigator on the case.
For all those advantages, Palin joins the ticket with one huge weakness: She’s a total beginner on national and international issues.
Gov. Palin will have to spend the next two months convincing Americans that she’s ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency….
Here are my two cents. Was it wise for John McCain who is 72 years old,to choose a woman VP pick in hopes of solely getting him the Hillary Clinton PUMA votes? I thought age was supposed to bring wisdom.
Maybe having experience is not that important because there are plenty of the so-called experts/specialists who could be recruited as advisers to both the president and the VP.
They certainly advised Bush well.
