No,no,no... I’m not saying that any of them would be part of any hiring..or working in a Palin administration in any capacity. But if it was me, I’d want their thoughts and perspective. as well as others (Cheney/Gates for example.) Very few women have served in high office of National Security/State. Just frank, honest opinion from those who’ve been there, done that (of course, leaving out someone like Madeline half-bright.)
I will be interested in hearing details of what a Palin foreign policy would look like. I know where she stands on energy, regulation and a number of other issues.
Last week I was in a real funk when (to me anyway), it looked like she would not run. That has changed this week. I can’t think of anyone I’d like to see more than her and I will support her 150%.
Yeah, I had a few hours of worry last week as well. Now I’m back to being convinced that she’s 100% right to hold off as long as she’s holding off. Perry’s getting exposed at this point, and it’s good if he and Mitt can get in a dust up or two.
I was a little worried when she seemed to be egging Obama on re: Libya, but glad to see that she pulled back on that and even seemed to switch to a less interventionalist FP advisor. My only area of potential disappointment on the policy side will be if she doesn’t come out strong and explicitly enough on illegal immigration.
