"I want a superstar.
Thank you so much for proving my point Rose! It is called GOOGLE, Wikepedia, the internet people! Do your own research on her and other candidates for that matter. I don't know where you get your information about politicians but maybe you should broaden that horizon of yours. I'm not going to do your research for you. That is your responsibility as a voter and as a citizen.
But just a side note, she has a son being deployed on Sep 11, so I think that says a lot about where she stands on the war. Also, she is for drilling and energy independence, AND for higher taxes on Big Oil, she is for flexibility in Government regulations to allow competition in Health Care.
I hope you did more research on Obama before deciding to use your vote on him.
So, this means that Palin could end up being our president in the case something happens to McCain. Of course holding that McCain wins. Wow!

I agree. It's the executive experience that makes her a good choice. It's far different being a mayor or governor than it is being a senator, or junior senator. Mayors and governors have managerial experience and that's why they're more often elected as President than senators are.
Both McCain and Palin have more leadership experience and they're both free-thinkers which makes them a very good team, especially if it's change you're looking for.
Forget the kids. I don't know that either Michelle or Barrack actually served in the US armed forces unless they're going to reveal that latter. They were busy at law school I suppose.
I'd be glad to take an early bet that the Obama girls don't grow up to wear a service uniform either. But they are cute.
