Why Sarah Palin ?

I just came back from a wonderful vacation in Budapest last week. American and western media has focused on Gustav, and McCain appointing Palin as his Vice president candidate.

I love several factors about her, she has proved herself to be a good leader in smalltime towns in Alaska and the obvious fact of her being a woman. She stands  the chance of being Americas first female president if McCain dies, or gets to old to stay in office.

Only one travel outside USA

What horrifies me none the less, is that she got her first passport in July 2007, and has only traveled abroad once. The travel was to American troops in Kuwait and Germany. She has not seen anything of the world but Americanism.

Despite the good things I have read about Palin, it is not good enough for such an important post. It gives me just another incentive to head over to the only other option America offers me, Mr Obama. But depite her experiance the Republican party has made a bold move nominating a woman.

I applaud both sides

The Democrats should be commended for nominating the first African American for the office of president of the United States, and, similarly I applaud the selection of a woman by the Republican Party as their nominee for vice president. Those choices for diversity can be praised without necessarily voting for either candidate. Both Barack Obama and Sarah Palin should be evaluated on the basis of their records, ideas, and leadership
