We as Americans are about to vote for who will lead this country for the next four years and also their Vice President. After watching the debate, the Republican VP candidate is out of sync with what is happening and needs to get with the program. In the government more than just a pretty face, a few winks to the crowd and speaking on the level of most middle-class Americans is required to lead this country out of the mess it’s in. Palin’s refusal or inability to answer some of the questions presented to her just goes to show that she is not cut from the same cloth. Sure she was the Governor of Alaska, but now she is running for Vice President of the United States and there is a lot more to it than hockey and soccer moms discussing their fears about the economy at their child’s game and how the problems could be remedied. We need someone in office who is ready and willing to change what is going on in the White House now and to work on rebuilding the reputation of this country. Both presidential candidates have points that hit home, but their running mates should have the same strength. Palin did not represent her party well at this debate, and “dog gonnit” I hope that America can see that she is ill-prepared for the challenges ahead.
