RISKY MOVE! TO PICK PALIN

Gov. Palin, 44, who's in her first term as governor, contradicts all the criticism that Republicans have charged toward Senator Barack Obama claiming that he is too inexperienced to run for President. August 29, also marks the birthday of Senator McCain, 72. So the internal question is, if he cannot fulfill his duties as president, will she be able to lead the country?
Gov Palin was mayor and a council member of the small town of Wasilla and was chairman of the state Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which regulates Alaska's oil and gas resources, in 2003 and 2004. Her biography hardly lends to support the notion that she is ready to be the Vice President nominee.
The PROS- She will attempt to mobilize the base of white women voters 35-55 (and African-American women) that strongly supported Senator Hillary Clinton. Palin has a strong ideological position on issues, especially on abortion. Most important, she is a woman. The legislative record of Senator McCain shows that he has not been an advocate of issues dealing with Women’s Rights. Will she take advantage of the past Obama/Clinton rift?
The CONS- She is highly inexperienced and while the gubernatorial office is a breeding ground for the Presidency, she has only been in office a few years. She is the first woman to be nominated for vice president as a Republican and only the second to run for vice president on a major party ticket, after Democrat Geraldine Ferraro in 1984. Did her selection provide the Republican party with a stronger presidential ticket?
