On the other hand, vice president? Really? Being governor of Alaska isn't exactly what I would consider a true proving ground. What about being mayor of a city of 9,000 will help you determine foreign policy? I understand that your charisma and appeal to the masses has finally given the Republican's someone to combat the likability of Barak Obama, But suddenly this election seems to be Palin vs Obama. And sadly, the more the media plays up Sarah Palin, the more they make people feel sorry for her and her family due to the attacks on her pregnant teenage daughter, the more they make being governor of a state that has one of the smallest populations in the country ( I believe it ranks 48th out of 50) look like TONS of political experience, the more the masses are going to be drawn to her.
But people need to remember, she's not going to be the one running this country. At least not right away. This is still McCain vs Obama. And no matter how great it is that Sarah Palin represents a powerful Girly Girl, that doesn't mean she or McCain will address the issues of our economy and the dissolving middle class crisis. Not once did I hear her mention the scary fact that more and more Americans who were once considered middle class are dropping into the poverty zone. She danced skillfully around the major issues while mesmerizing the crowd with her charm. Suddenly I feel that the election is being played like a reality show; the way contestants play "Survivor". Think Johnny Fairplay.
Yes, as a Girly Girl I'm proud of Sarah Palin for not being afraid to be a powerful woman. But as a voter, she really just adds more questions and doubts.
