Facing loads of criticism from - surprise - both the liberals and the media alike, Sarah Palin stood up and delivered. And boy, did she make herself clear: she won't just stand there and take criticisms. She takes the punches and delivers them right back.
Being an unknown face in Washington, Palin did what most people thought was impossible - deliver an intelligent, witty speech. Sure, she may have not addressed every single change she could bring about as VP. Then again.. she is running for VP, not President. I would be a little more concerned if McCain did not do that (which of course he did).
And this leads me to one of the biggest points I have been trying to make. Yes, Palin may not have a 500-page-long resume of experience to bring to the table for the VP nomination. But wait.. does Obama? Which one would you rather have with less experience? Sure, he was a Senator. But what did he do that made a big impact during those years of "building that resume?"
Just because you have "experience" doesn't automatically make you a better candidate over someone who may not have as much. As an intelligent person put it: it comes down to judgement. And quite frankly, I personally don't think Obama has that important presidential trait (sorry, someone who "caught the hope" does not count).
A president simply can not promise everything he says because he can not control everything. There are many variables involved in one, specific plan of action that are beyond their control. All a president can do is promote trust, optimism, and security all while using his best judgement in important situations.
This election has certaintly turned out to be an interesting one. While both candidates throw relentless punches at one another, it is important to remember that while it can be amusing.. this is a serious issue at hand. I encourage everyone to read/discover as much as they can about each candidate (yes, even Bob Barr!) and make your vote count!
