Is Sarah Palin ready to be President??

One of the big questions the media and the Democrats (I know, redundant...) keep harping on is whether Sarah Palin is ready to step in on 'Day One' if something happens to John McCain.

I see some Republicans hemming and hawing on this and I think the answer is very simple. Just turn the question around on them. Ask "What is it you think she's missing? What experience do you think she needs to be 'ready'?"

Unless their answer is something like, "she needs to write a couple of books" or "she needs to spend a couple of years on the campaign trail while 'serving' in the Senate" then it is very easy to turn around and say "now do YOU think OBAMA is ready to step in to the job on Day One?"

There is NOTHING is Barack Obama's life that better prepares him for the job than Sarah Palin. And up until this election, it was a given in politics that Senators don't win elections for President - Governors do - because of their executive branch experience and lack of "insider" status in Washington. The only reason a Senator will win this time is because both parties have nominated one.

Think about it. George W. Bush (twice) Bill Clinton (twice) Ronald Reagan (twice) Jimmy Carter (once). The only non-governor to be elected President in the last 8 Presidential elections was George H.W. Bush and he was never a Senator.

So obviously, the American public values state-level, executive branch service over back-room Senatorial politics.

Tell me again, how much of that experience does Barack Obama have??
