I am one of the few in my Geezer Group here that are not smitten with
Palin; one might think she is Joan of Arc, Ma Theresa and Madame Curie
rolled into one, by the way my old buds moon and rave over her, (and
the lil'Mac, too...)
I think she is barely ok, a former mayor of a tiny white trash town in
AK, now a 2 yr, so-so gov of a huge state, that w/out the oil biz would
barely have the economy/GDP of a single county surrounding NYC, etc.
Remember Jesse Ventura, the semi-successful Gov of MN? Did/does
anyone think he ought to be the freakin VP candidate? He at least
had some track record, ran the state for more than 20 mins and has 20
IQ pts min. on Palin.
My basic wonderment is: if she were 55, 40 lbs heavier, 3 notches
down in the "looks" dept., most of the country woulda said, "Huh?
Are you sh#%%ing me!" and we wouldn't be caught up in "those
meanies in the press are badgering her", imo.
I think she is a good mom, good wife, probably an ok local politician
and that's the extent of my poz thoughts about her...
The hubbub and fawning have died down; I will be surprised if she
doesn't make Dan Qualye look like a statesman and MENSA candidate
by comparo...
