Obama 50%, Palin 33%

Funny, I haven’t seen an objective reason presented why she *should *be president. It is almost all, like your post, highly subjective opinions presented without any basis of evalutaion. “She’s smart, she’s nice, she’s a good mother…” I’m certainly not convinced by the mere expression of subjective opinions.

Here’s two extremely good reasons.

1. She is not a career politician or DC-type political insider with built-in corruption.
2. In spite of not being one of the above, she managed to rise to being governor of Alaska (I know, every nice, good mom has done something of the sort), battled croneyism within and outside of her party, and had great success and popularity there until the lefties on the national scene decided to try to hog tie her in the legal system and muck with her performance as governor. Only a career politician would hang on to “play the game”.

You dismiss her like so many do (“She’s smart, she’s nice, she’s a good mother…”); chalk one up for the brainwashing ability of the media. But how many women, or men for that matter, have I seen that have the guts, tenacity, morals, sharpness and drive to step into the blood-sport of politics and win against those with way more “experience” (read ‘crony connections’)?

Bottom line is: Honest politics, like the search for truth, is NOT complicated. It only takes an honest, hardworking person who can recognize a rat and and have the courage to exterminate it. Expect to make no friends on either side of the aisle in doing so, because if you’re doing your job right, it’s not about making friends.

Ms. Palin fits this bill. And that is precisely the objective reason why she of all people should be president.

From what I understand, that means he graduated with a GPA of less than 3.3.

Also, from what I’ve been told you can not get into a lot of programs at many colleges with a GPA under 3.3.

Thank you. Very possible that his Columbia years got lost in a haze of drugs, but the article also mentions that he graduated Harvard cum laude, which is something I did not realize.

Palin has good instincts. She has her head screwed on right, and she is motivated by a decent value system. She also is not beholden to anybody in the system.
These are all good qualifications for sure.
