I don't usually

blog about politics but lord have mercy so much material so little time.

Who is this woman they keep parading around? Is this really who we want in the White House as the FIRST female VP? She certainly won't get my vote. Doncha know.

One of the things that really bothers me the most is her public speaking abilities. Now I realize that probably sounds pretty funny coming from me. Twenchie the woman who types with a New Hampstah accent and says whatevah. The thing is, I'm here in my robe and furry slippahs typing a blog. I'm not standing on a stage, behind a podium, furiously flipping notecards and saying you betcha! G'ah. I shudder every time she opens her mouth.

I had a discussion with some friends and we talked about Sarah Palin and her obvious language impediment. Some floks said that they believe her folksey way of speaking appeals to some people. Her terms of joe six pack and soccer mom make people feel that she understands them, the people. Really? I find those terms rather demeaning. Is this what she really believes the majority of this country is comprised of? The truth of the matter is she does. Let us not forget that this is the woman who considers herself experienced in foreign policy because well, she can see Russia from her back door. Doncha know.

I think that if I met Sarah Palin at the local pub and we started chatting I might find her interesting. We could probably kick back, have a few beers, and probably even some laughs. Course, after a few beers I would probably have to rip that hideous hair piece off thus ending the friendship, but hey, it would be fun for me. All kidding aside, I'm sure she has some redeeming qualities. I'm sure that we could find things in common being as we're both middle class women raising kids and getting through life. But guess what? That's not who I want running this country. I want someone BETTER than me running the country.

If McCain and Palin are elected it is very possible, and let's face it, likely, that Sarah Palin would end up being the first female president of this country by default. No disrespect to McCain but he's in his 70's, he's not in good health and frankly, I just don't think he'll survive four years. Can you imagine Palin standing at the podium giving a State Of The Union address? I can hear her now" "is the economy turning around and improving? You betcha!" It's a recurring nightmare I have that wakes me from a sound sleep. Or it could just be the hot flashes, the jury is still out.

Listen, I'm ALL for women shattering the glass ceiling and running for, and winning, bids for political office. I'm all for a woman VP or a woman President. I just don't believe that a woman should get my vote simply because she's a woman. We need to elect the RIGHT woman and Sarah Palin falls so far from the mark she might as well be in Russia not just a close neighbor.

I saw a poll this morning that says Obama/Biden are widening the margin. I hope that poll is accurate because I tell you here and now that if they don't win I will have to move to Canada. I'll just change the ah to eh.
