Why is that such an issue? I am thinking that many people here on OT have NO idea about some of our Presidents.
Here are the most recent five Presidents (there have been 16...SIXTEEN total) that went from governor straight to President...
Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Governor of New York from 1929-1933Ronald Reagan: Governor of California from 1967-1975Jimmy Carter: Governor of Georgia from 1971-1975, and the first elected governor from the South post Civil WarBill Clinton: Governor of Arkansas for two separate terms, from 1979-1981, and from 1983-1992George W. Bush: Governor of Texas from 1995-2000
palin didn't even have a passport until 2007 (she never left the country before then)
she has a BA in journalism of all fucking things
her job as mayor was to be a public figure and to be the tiebreaker vote if needed in the city council
the bitch is clearly not fit to step in as president of the united states.
is the GOP so fucked that this was the best they could do?
I just don't understand how someone who governed such a small body of people would be recommended by 1 of the 2 major political parties. Does not compute to me.
Not that she's JUST a governor, but she's 2 years into her first term as governor...of Alaska.
Prior to that she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and it's population of 8,000 people.
"But she has executive experience!"
Common normal moms deserve to be VP! The whore has the audacity to push absitance only education when her whore daughters belly is staring at her face.
All the people on your list have at least 4 years of experience in their roles as governor with most of them having other qualifying attributes beyond that. She just seems like a political ploy to stir up debate and bring attention to the Republican party after all the media fanfare Obamas gotten recently.
