McCain-Palin: Can answer that 3AM call!
I would venture to say that both McCain and Gov. Palin will be ready to take that 3AM call Hillary spoke of during her campaign and I would venture that Palin could step into the presidency in 2013 without batting an eyelash. While Obama is mocking us as "clinging to our guns and religion", I would submit that both helped us found our nation and both helped us beat back tyrants in WWI and WWII. McCain and Gov. Palin are taking the fight out west where guns and religion are part of everyday living. It's called survival. Obama says McCain just "doesn't get it." Well, I get it. Affirmative action punished white men and I think it has now long outlived its usefulness in terms of leveling the "playing field" because not any people I know got into Harvard or Princeton with below average qualifications just because of skin-color. If anything, they were denied the "education" Ms. Obama was given access to because of their skin-color or their gender. So, let's break that glass ceiling and put Sarah Palin in the White House as the Vice President of the United States of America, not because she is a female, but because she is qualified. Sarah Palin can answer that 3AM call because she's been doing that for 22 years as the mother of five children. She can answer that call because, as governor, she has sent men and women into battle. She's got experience hands down over Barry and Joe. Best they stay in the Senate where admittedly they can do a lot of damage but at least McCain will be able to veto their most damaging legislation. Sarah Palin is spunky and tough. And of course Hillary Clinton won't take her on as some Democrats want to happen. Why? Because Palin, as a governor, has executive experience that trumps Hillary's "experience" and because Palin advances Hillary's cause. Besides, Hillary may well meet Sarah head-on in presidential debates in 2012. Hillary won't give Sarah ammunition now that she can use against Hillary later. Hillary knows what the NOW gals don't seem to know - in politics, one must choose one's battles and battling Sarah Palin now is not in Hillary's best interest. Although Hillary cannot be seen to campaign for Sarah Palin, I don't think she'll overtly try to damage her either. We need McCain and Palin in the White House in 2009 and won't a campaign between Hillary and Sarah for the presidency in 2012 be rip-roaring great fun? Remember, that would most likely be Hillary's "last chance" and she'd be fighting like a mama bear defending its cubs. What politics! Hillary against a sitting Vice President. Whoo hoo! I'll pay to see that one. And you better believe, unlike President George W. Bush who didn't seem to groom anyone for the presidency, McCain will give Sarah Palin all the opportunities for experience that he can. I can hear that glass ceiling shattering now... Thanks for putting 18 million cracks in it, Hill. Now, the nation will take Sarah the rest of the way through.
