Take some friendly advice, Sarah. Stay off the campaign trail.
Folks on both sides of the Canada/US border were sort of half shaking their heads after Sarah Palin proceeded to both resign as Alaska’s governor and somehow provoke speculation of an eventual bid at the whitehouse (do I hear 2012?). And this article posted on a Chicago Tribune blog pretty well nails it re: why that is. Sadly, I don’t think Palin reads the Chicago Tribune. Or this blog. But I’ll spell it out in plain terms anyway, because it’s the only way I might be able to wrap my head around why it is folks find it easy to jump on the “Sarah would make a good president” bandwagon.
The girl has virtually no political experience. Like, at all. I mean, yes, she ran for vice president in the 2008 election. And ran herself off a cliff. And now she’s not even Alaska’s governor as of last week. Sarah, my dear, I really hate to say it, but could you do much worse if you tried? Quite probably… well… not.
