She needs more than a book tour in four years time to be on the ticket at all.
The below was posted by another Freeper before, and I hope he doesn’t mind me posting it again, because the relentless fight for the justification of a women President continues. And the fight will go on as long as there is bigotry, discrimination, male chauvinism, fear, ignorance, and blindness to the hope Reagan spoke about.
The people who post and say that Palin has not enough executive experience should take a look back in history.
Lincoln, Kennedy and Truman (aside from two months as FDR’s VP) also had no executive experience, elective or appointive, when they became President.
Woodrow Wilson’s only executive experience was two years as Governor of New Jersey, after which he became President.
Calvin Coolidge, in addition to being Harding’ VP for two years, was governor of Massachusetts for two years and mayor of a small town of 3000 (Northampton)for two years. (sound familiar?) In Reagan’s opinion, as well as Bob Novak’s, Coolidge was the best President of the 20th Century (until the Gipper, of course).
Other Presidents,(Madison, John Quincy Adams, Buchanan Hoover) only had executive experience as appointed heads of cabinet agencies.
Ford had no real executive experience; He was VP under Nixon for less than a year.
That is a list of 10 Presidents, including some pretty good ones who had less than, or equivalent to, Sarah Palin’s executive experience. And I didn’t even count the large number of Presidents (10) whose executive experience consisted solely of being generals in the army. (Only three of the ten were Commanders in Chief, which would at least somewhat approximate the Presidency).
Sarah Palin’s experience stacks up quite well historically, if anyone takes the time to compare it to previous Presidents.
