A woman President?

Sarah Palin is being called the girl of Conservatives dreams. That may be so. She refuses to be part of the mansion crowd. During her tenure as an Alaskan Mayor she actually cut her own salary as part of a cost-cutting package for the city. She opted out of being driven about in a limo, choosing rather to drive herself. She has five kids, one of them born with downs, and she did not even consider an abortion after the tests showed what her developing child would be. No, the Dems would not like this lady at all. The problem is, the GOP leadership doesn't like her either.

She dared to challenge the intrenched earmark system and worst of all, she won. Fortunately for her she did so in the most indepentminded state in our union, Alaska. If she had tried to do so in my state, her results would have been like mine. One term and out. Lucky for Sarah, not too many Alaskan votes can be bought.

I like this woman. Her husband and kids are undeclared independants and that's just fine with her. She has already gotten a lot of pressure from the GOP leadership about that, but she won't interfere in that decision. Good for her. She is willing to begin cutting at the very top. This frightens the water out of people like Cheny and Kennedy. The top, according to them is supposed to be sacrosanct, as untouchable as God. Not according to Sarah Palin. If pain has to occure, it begins with her. Frankly, I would rather see her as the President instead of McCain, and with McCain's age, it just may happen.
