    Sarah Palin's powerful "First Dude"

    In my opinion, I don't find any qualification regarding Palin that I believe would be qualified to be a VP with possibility of being the President. There are a number of characteristics between her and McCain that are similar.They both believe "war" is better than "peace, because she stated that we are in Iraq to fill God's need,and further that we made need to go to war with Russia because of their attack on Georgia, and John McCain appears to love war. If his qualifications are based on his POW stint, I'd dare say this individual would love nothing more to do then to have his finger on the red button. During McCain's primary he stated he didn't know enough about economics, yet, within the last day or two, he stated that our economy was fundamentally sound! Our unemployment figures are rising, and HP expects to cut 20K jobs next year, our stock market has severely dropped. Now, does that sound like our economy is fundamentally sound? Palin even knows much less about the economy and further is not honest with the American people.
