The Case for Palin

[monk222]

For bemused liberals regarding Sarah Palin, Pat Buchanan aggressively puts forward the case for her selection:

Liberals howl that Palin has no experience, no qualifications to be president of the United States. But the lady has more executive experience than McCain, Joe Biden and Obama put together.

None of them has ever started or run a business as Palin did. None of them has run a giant state like Alaska, which is larger than California and Texas put together. And though Alaska is not populous, Gov. Palin has as many constituents as Nancy Pelosi or Biden.

...

And her experience as governor of Alaska, dealing with the oil industry and pipeline agreements with Canada, certainly compares favorably with that of Barack Obama, a community organizer who dealt in the mommy issues of food stamps and rent subsidies.

Where Obama has poodled along with the Daley Machine, Palin routed the Republican establishment, challenging and ousting a sitting GOP governor before defeating a former Democratic governor to become the first female and youngest governor in state history.

Pat is an out-there right-winger, of course, but he has a keen political eye, at least when he's not running for the presidency himself. Unless the Palin nomination astonishingly implodes in the next couple of weeks, we are going to have to admit that this still promises to be a hell of a battle.
