Attacking Palin Already?

Attacking Palin

The question for any Vice-Presidential candidate becomes,"Is he/she ready to be President?" On a daily basis most school board presidents in major cities govern more people on a daily basis than Palin does. Most of them won't fire employees because they don't agree with their position and none of them would pressure others to fire an ex-brother in law. In fact, most of them could probably answer the question,"What does the vice-president do? Good choice Senator McCain.

Let's be clear

It's not the quantity, it's the quality. In her tenure in public office, Governor Palin has done more to eradicate corruption from the Alaska Republican Party (and Alaska politics, in general) than anyone who came before her.

Second, you clearly have no idea what's going on with the ex-brother-in-law situation, so save space for intelligent points. Moreover, it's just an investigation. There are similar investigations for just about every governor in America. 99.99% of them raise nothing.

Finally, the role of the Vice President changes with every Presidential Administration. Some of them are very active, very public, like fmr. VP Gore. Others remain in the background, like VP Cheney. In the McCain administration, who knows?
