Sarah Palin Underqualified ???

There are a lot of posts in the blogs and media  which are pro and anti Palin. Whether she is qualified to run for VP is hotly debatable. Everyone has their own opinions whether she would be a good VP or simply unqualified for the nation's second highest post and possibly the Commander -in- Chief should anything happens to McCain.


No one is perfect and to expect anyone to be an master of all trades is simply asking for the impossible. Maybe, those critics should ask God to be the President of the USA.

She has very low depth of foreign policy experience - name one governor who has become president who has had in-depth foreign policy experience. She may not be well versed in foreign policies or economics but this can be overcome with a battery of good advisers. John McCain has vast foreign policy experience and she is not running for the president's post.

An experienced and knowledgeable person may not be a good administrator. Just as a brilliant soccer star may not be a good and great coach.

 A lot of the problems are made by men and it is time for a woman to run the country .Perhaps they can do a better job than the men. The women in America should break the glass ceiling, for men and women are equal. Clinton was unfortunate to have to face Obama and the woman's fight for equality is now taken over by Palin.

A good many women are favorably inclined towards Governor Palin principally because she and they are of the same gender. Many women may vote on emotions and not on issues. Most Americans may be obscure about the issues and instead associate themselves with Palin.

Many women identify with Palin.Her decision to raise Trig, a Down’s syndrome baby, and support for her pregnant 17-year-old daughter Bristol have been widely praised. She is a working mom and is aware of the struggles of the ordinary working moms .

We are living in the modern times and there is no room for religious  bigotry . Who are we to judge her for her actions.On whether being a 5 child mom would affect her running for the VP's job, she declared that in this modern age it was 'irrelevant. 'Whether they are presidents or VP, having a family is the normal thing and why it should be different for  her ?

Palin is a breath of fresh air.She's an accomplished governor, with an over 80 percent approval rating. You simply cannot please everyone and if you get 51% that is already good enough.

Sarah Palin has become an American political superstar at a dizzying speed, with a meteoric rise in just two weeks.John McCain has found himself in the odd position of playing a supporting role to his running mate and obama having to duel with her.

She comes from the cold and harsh frontier of the USA. Like those cowboys and cow girls of the Wild! Wild! West era where the women were tough and had to handle the same chores as the men.She is tough and yet feminine , the very epitome of a modern successful woman.

With her being the first Republican woman to run for the VP post, feminism and sexism seems to come to the fore.Feminism, which should be about equal rights and equal opportunity.

A clutch of polls last week showed McCain ahead by five points in Missouri, four in Ohio, four in Virginia and eight in Florida. New Mexico and N e v a d a . Other states that had appeared to be comfortably in the Democratic camp now look precarious and the ground is shifting beneath his feet.

A poll by the Associated Press last week showed that white women preferred McCain to Obama by 53% to 40%.

Whatever Obama hurled at her , nothing seems to stick to her , she seems  insulated from all his attacks and instead has to back pedal from his miss firings.

“People still don’t know what Obama stands for. There’s a perceived elitism and something aloof about him. They just don’t connect with him,”  A broad section of the white population especially the women adores and worship her. She is like a hurricane sweeping through the USA.

Obama maybe an eloquent orator but sometimes too much of one thing can dull the senses and it is all about change and promises but nothing solid  when his record is exposed.

African-Americans will vote for Obama, but they're only 13% of the population.Many blue-collar Americans who don't think of themselves as racist, and are on good terms with the African-Americans they know, but feel uncomfortable at the prospect of a black president.They may not tell the truth in the polls .Racialism is ever present in many modern societies.

She is only running for the VP and under McCain , she may learn the ropes and rise and shine. Why is Obama hitting out at her instead of McCain. ? It should be Joe Bidden who should engage her in debate

If this goes on , the Democrats will surely have to wait for another 4 years in 2012.
There is a real probability that it could be Palin V/S Clinton.
