Sarah Palin - The Great Uniter?
I know she gets the base of the Republican party quite excited. All of a sudden, they don't care much about a politician's personal life, family issues, wacky religious affiliation or the candidate's level of experience.
Cause she's their gal. And the crazy they know is better than the crazy they don't know.
Sarah Palin is also uniting those on the left. I'm getting emails and phone calls from people who normally aren't even interested in politics. They're all concerned that someone to the right of *Dick Cheney* might get the keys to the oval office. Someone who knows next to nothing about our country, its history and policies. Several people have sent me this email -
Here is a small thing you can do in two clicks – SECONDS! The Right is having people vote that Palin is qualified.
PBS has a poll that asks: Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP?
Let's turn this around. You don't have to give your name or email address in order to vote. It's very simple.
I clicked on the link and found that more people have, indeed, indicated that Palin is qualified. On a PBS link? Come on, now.
See for yourself and then vote no. If you are so inclined. To think rationally, I mean.

Maybe I am missing the point. Does the Constitution say you have to a rocket scientist to be qualified to be the President or VP of the United States? Come on, Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer from Georgia for heaven's sake! :)
I am surprised at the outcome. I didn't know republicans watched PBS.
In honor of BO and his ties to the Chicago political machine, I voted twice.
A better, more to the point, question: Is Sarah Palin, should McCain die in office, qualified to be President of the United States?
And, of course, half the country thought George W. was qualified.
And Carter was a nuclear physicist.
And Jimmy Carter is also an evangelical Christian (as is Bill Clinton).
