More qualified than Sarah Palin?

After carefully watching the interviews of Mrs. Palin by ABC’s Charles Gibsons, I came to the conclusion that the candidate for the Vice-Presidency of the United States was only armed with a shiny, thin veneer of preparation applied at the last second by her Republican coaches that couldn’t hide her obvious lack of understanding and preparation for national and global politics. So without repeating what hundred of folks who eloquently commented on these TV appearances, I used a very simple test, which is summarized in one short question: “Am I more qualified than Sarah Palin for the top job she’s seeking and that literally stands just a heart-beat away from the presidency?” The answer is a resounding YES and that’s frightening because I sincerely don’t see myself with the requisite experience and knowledge to serve my nation in that capacity. Palin’s lack of judgment is downright scary and if we leave her alone and look deeper into her situation, the blame for that terrible choice must be directly placed on “Maverick McCain” which further demonstrates that the man won’t stop at anything to reach his goals and for whom being elected president is worth doing the most reckless move he can get away with. I only hope that a good number of registered republicans will see through that exercise in demagoguery and will either switch their votes to Obama or simply abstain.
