Sarah Palin

So like many people you may be wondering, who the hell is Sarah Palin? Since there is a lot of repeat articles and information circulating, I am going to link a direct site that will have most of them.

As for my personal opinion I don't believe it was the wisest decision. First she is an unknown which means many things could come up from here past or if something comes from her being investigated for firing her ex brother-in-law. Plus it removes the experience arguement fromt the equation as she has very little experience at anything. This must be taken into consideration because lets face it, McCain is 72 and has battled cancer, leaving his health questionable. Finally her stance on social issues won't win her many women voters. She is totally against abortion, even in the cases of rape and incest, is a lifetime NRA member, and has strong connections to big oil (her husband is an oil worker) and is from an oil state. Frankly her sucess on economic issues in Alaska as it pertains to Alaska's budget is courtesy of oil prices which is by far the largest source of income in Alaska. So lets not give her credit for that at least!
