The fading Palin star...


Unlike many people in the press, bloggers and other political entities, I do not think that Governor Sarah Palin is a stupid person. It would be foolish of anyone to think such a thing. You do not become Governor of a state by being a stupid person. Also, I do not care that she is a female running for the Vice Presidency. There will be no woman bashing in this blog. I could care less that a woman is running for Vice President, President, or any other political office. I just want someone who is informed and can make good decisions. Watch the following Sarah Palin clip and you tell me if she is an informed candidate:



I still to this day have no idea what her point was in that clip. This is the problem that Palin has, no clue as to what is going on. Could it be she was placed in the limelight not being ready to handle it? Could it be that McCain chose her just for political reasons? Or is it just that she doesn't know what is going on in the world. Here is Palin defending her foreign policy experience:



It is very simple people...we are living in serious times right now and need someone who can attack these issues with the calmness, knowledge and the respect of the American people. This again is not a blog to knock down Sarah Palin. She should be proud of her accomplishments as a woman and as a politician, but no more of the nice hometown stories. No more dodging questions when you don't truly have an answer. Let's be real for a minute, no politician knows everything, but I have never seen a candidate as unprepared as Palin.

Maybe the expectations are so low that no matter what happens, she will come out of the debate no different than she was when she went it. Joe Biden seems to have a problem. Not too look like he is attacking her, but at the same time point out her weaknesses and push the Obama policies. Can he walk this tightrope?

I just don't think she is ready to be one heartbeat away from the most powerful job in the world.

What do you think?
