Sarah Palin - next backdoor President

Sarah Palin. Everybody loves Sarah Palin. A positive: she's a good looking woman. Another plus: she's a devout woman. And boy can she talk! I didn't catch the speech at the RNC but the snippets I've seen and from what I've read, she has charisma. But what's really quite scary if anyone takes a look at her style, she's like the female combination of Cheney and Rumsfeld. Neither man is a fan of the questions, the free press i.e. the people's right to know. The same seems to hold for Sarah Palin. And seeing the polls even between McCain and Obama, I can't help but ask: isn't anyone else worried about Palin's imminent backdoor presidency?

Fact: I voted for McCain in 2000. I felt that McCain would take on the establishment and still work towards bipartisan endeavors. But I don't feel that way now. McCain fired his 2000 campaign staff. Why? Was that his decision or his wife's? He appeared at Oral Roberts University and now he likes the Bush tax cuts, despite the fact that he previously called them fiscally irresponsible. The man I supported in 2000 is no longer the candidate I remember.

Sarah Palin: fair to say she appears to be a strong woman. It's premature to say if she can hold her own in the debates but she does like her talking points. She hasn't gone offscript yet. Rumsfeld and Cheney were never fans for doing more than delivering their talking points too.

The Bush presidency was the largest exercise in executive privilege EVER. I'm betting Cheney will not have tapes, years from now, to reveal just how many back channels he had. And Sarah Palin could be VP. I don't believe that John McCain can stand up to Sarah Palin. I believe a McCain presidency means creationism will be taught in public schools, sex ed will become sexual abstinence lectures and woman will not even realize they neglected to advocate for their own cause: free choice...because even if you personally wouldn't elect to have an abortion, it's a horrible, horrible thing to say it's ok for young women to die in back alleys, as they seek illegal abortions. But I digress.

Obama, Obama, Obama. I support you and if women have common sense, they'll vote for you too.
