I have been looking at my logs and I noticed that some have searched my blog and have read this here.
A few things to remember; First that posting was written right after the election. I will be honest, I was not pleased with John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin, I felt it was a disaster, I still do. While Palin might have been a good thing for the Republican Party and possibly for the State of Alaska; however, I felt she just did not have the experience to be involved in Federal Government. Perhaps if she had been Governor for like 2 terms, I could accept that. But not for as long as she was.
Secondly, I felt that Palin was whining about her coverage in the media. The way I see it, you put yourself in the public spotlight, then be prepared to get raked over the coals. Politics is a contact sport, it is no place for people who are soft touch. Palin was, and still is, in my opinion, a very soft touch. It seems to me, that she expects people to treat her special because she is a woman, that is entitlement; if you cannot take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. It’s just that simple.
However, I will say this and hopefully everyone understands; I would never, in million years; would have wanted Sarah Palin out of politics entirely. Perhaps the Liberals would love to see that, but no I. I think she had a place and could have earned a seat in the White House. Hopefully she does something productive, like run for a seat in the Senate or House in Washington D.C.; Then in 2012 runs for President. Further more, I certainly hope she does not give up on politics totally.
That would be a tragedy.
