Re: How Palin got to be mayor and governor in AK

Different from some of the other bloggers here, I really appreciated learning some more of how Palin got to be mayor and governor in AK. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how those folks had settled for her. She certainly wasn't qualified based on her record! Poor Wasilla was left 22 million in debt and the state has no support from most folks in the know because she fired anyone who had real credentials and replaced them with her high school cronies. So, this explains a lot, but it also shows how if she had been properly vetted, Senator McCain could have found out how NON-transparent and lacking in REAL reform she really was! He took a gamble to win the election and risked more than the country can with the two of them at the helm especially at this time. Both are impulsive, erratic and prone to temper tantrums! Neither are intelligent, thoughtful or deliberate in decision-making. It is too big a gamble to risk all on them!
