SARAH Palin - is she Ready to Lead?

- this post is brought to you by whitehouse2008.info

Sarah Palin is the current Governor of Alaska, and the presumptive 2008 candidate for Vice President of the United States.

If elected Sarah Palin will be the first female vice president. Sarah Palin is the first female vice presidential candidate ever representing the Republican Party, and only the second Female Vice Presidential candidate representing a major political party in America.

Sarah Palin is also the first politician from Alaska to be nominated for Vice-President.

Sarah Palin was born in Idaho, but raised in Alaska. Sarah Palin is an ex-beauty pageant runner up for Miss Alaska(1984). Palin used her beauty to land a scholarship at the University of Idaho, where she majored in journalism.

Sarah Palin worked as a sports reporter for an Anchorage tv station, then served two terms in the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council from 1992-1996. Sarah Palin was then elected mayor of Wasilla(population 8,470) in 1996.

Sarah Palin then ran for Lieutenant Governor in 2002 unsuccessfully and was finally elected Governor of Alaska in 2006.

Sarah Palin gained national attention for publicizing ethical violations of state Republican Party leaders.

My question is: Sarah Palin is supposedly for good ‘ethical policies’ then what the hell is she running for Mccain’s vice president? Mccain is as immoral and unethical as they come. How anyone could back a president known for perjury is beyond me..(everything he says is practically a lie, or what people want to hear).

Sure with Sarah Palin, he may get some of the female vote, but I think he might’ve gotten more if he’d picked the guy from Minnesota. All I can say is that it’s going to be easy pickin’s for Obama.

Of course Sarah Palin doesn’t bring much experience to the table, only leading a small region with 8,000 people for a number of years, and then being governor for a mere 19 months.

This is definitely one of the thinnest resumes of any vice president since Nixon chose Agnew. Not to mention the fact that Sarah Palin has some corruption policies herself.

Sarah Palin allegedly attempted to have fired a state trooper who was embroiled in a custody battle with her sister. (Does this sound like the kind of person we need as vice president of the United States?)

Of course Sarah Palin has previously said that her administration didn’t exert pressure to get rid of trooper Mike Wooten, and also disclosed that members of her staff had made over two dozen contacts with public safety officials about the trooper.

I think it’s funny that Mccain chose someone who doesn’t have experience as Sarah Palin shows, and who also is in the middle of a political corruption crisis herself, it apparently shows his lack of good judgement.

It’s going to be nice to see his poll ratings plummet from this move.

Another funny thing about this is how he hoots and hollers about Obama not being experienced enough to lead this country, but then picks the most inexperienced governor in the whole united states to run as his runningmate. This just proves that Mccain is incompetent and that Obama is way more ready to lead, especially since he actually chose a vp candidate in Joe Biden that will greatly aid his campaign and not hinder it.

Whitehouse2008.info is a really cool new political site, consider it the alltops or popurls of politics. Basically it is an aggregator of all the best from election 2008. It’s very well designed, using a modified form of wordpress, and some plugins. (I know this because I built it..shhhh)…

On the left are the democrats and the right the republicans. It’s not partisan so people from all walks should be able to get value from it. It also features a cool tabbed ebay store module that I created, using yahoo’s tab creator. I can give more details on that if you’re interested.

Right now, I’d be really interested in everyone’s thoughts on the project  - likes, dislikes and suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Obama is somewhat of a newcomer on the political scene, and yet he has garnered a huge following.

He has beat great odds to become the number 1 candidate for presidency. He is even beating McCain out by many points in states that normally go to republicans, like Montana.

Why is this?

Because Obama has embraced web 2.0.

He has embraced sites like facebook, twitter, and youtube. He, and / or those on his marketing team know the power that social media holds. Not to mention many fans of Obama can be found embracing social media - for instance this popular video by Obamagirl.

Obama, is also the only candidate suggesting a cabinet position aimed at web / technology.

I personally believe that Obama’s use of web 2.0 and social media may be the beginning of a paradigm shift in America. I believe that we may be on the verge of a new era in US politics. Call me optimistic, but I believe with social media, politicians will hold less power, and more power will be put in the hands of the people.

Most Americans believe that we’re headed in the wrong direction. Many believe that a huge catastrophe is on the horizon. Whether natural or economic, our future is not certain anymore.

All things change, and many things always need change but go unchanged. I believe for America to survive that there will come a day of reckoning where the great minds of the country will have to get together and re-organize our country from the ground up.

The reason we have a representative democracy and not a full democracy is mostly because in the days of the founding fathers it would’ve been a logistical nightmare. They didn’t have the lines of communication that we have today.

If you’re a skeptic on the power of social media, you really should check out opencongress.org it is a refreshing social network brought to us by: Participatory Politics Foundation and the Sunlight Foundation.

This is a great site for following the politicians that you want to follow. You can see their voting patterns, history, etc. You can also see other politicians like them, or those who are totally the opposite.

You can follow the issues that matter most to you, like Access to Health care, Abortion, etc…

You can actually vote on the issues, and bills that you’d like to see pass legislation.

The site doesn’t get as much publicity as it should - yet. But I can see it becoming a huge playing field for bi-partisan politics to take hold.

Those who aren’t net-savvy may miss out here on this great opportunity to share their voice / opinion, but I believe this is a great start to a new democracy 2.0.

Yeah - I’ll say it. I’m an Obama backer - after the whole war and 9-11 fiasco I’d go base-jumping with out a parachute before voting for a republican, or Hillary Clinton.

Listen to what Hillary told O’Reilly, about how the rich deserve to be more blessed than the poor.

Here’s what Mccain says about the Iraq war being a war for Oil.

So who do we vote for?
My vote is for Obama - but even he doesn’t have a good answer about the economic situation we’re getting into.

I think America as a whole is one large titanic and the iceberg is just around the bend. Call me pessimistic but something big is coming and it’s not going to be fun.
