Alaska Governor Sarah Palin blew the roof off the Xcel Energy Arena tonight. With the podium predecessors of Romney, Huckabee, and Giuliani I thought the applause could not get any louder. Boy, was I wrong. When Palin took the stage the crowd erupted and the excitement continued to build as the speech went on. And she pulled no punches. To Obama supporters questioning her experience she fired back "Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska… I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involved."
Here is what I see… To those who say she is inexperienced… Wrong. She was a mayor of a small city. When you are the mayor of a city, you are listed in the phone book and everyone knows where you live. When you are a mayor you become an executive similar to the CEO of a corporation. She is the Governor of Alaska. Some would say this doesn't count due to the population…Wrong. Alaska has the same area as over 250 states the size of Delaware. It borders RUSSIA. How many other states can say that?
To those who say she can't do the job because she has 5 kids. Wrong. (Uh…Nancy Pelosi has 5 kids…but its ok for her?)
Long story, short. For all those out there who say it was a bad choice at a bad time. Stop being hypocrites! She has the gloves on…and she will come out swingin'! Watch for the knock out.
Who do I feel bad for? Joe Biden. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. Seriously…..
