Palin Convention Speech
September 4, 2008
Sarah Palin is a great speaker, but I’m not totally thrilled with her speech so far - she’s spent a long time telling a story, which while entertaining, doesn’t tell me much her plans for Vice President of the United States. I am sure that her executive experience as a mayor and governor of Alaska has been valuable, but the sheer size difference between the population of Alaska to the United States is a little like comparing paddling a row boat and captaining an oil tanker, no pun intended.
I have a ton of respect for McCain, and thought he might make a good president, but I’m not sure if Palin was the best choice. She seems like a great person, but as a Vice President? Is the renegade, wild card the right strategy to “shake-up” Washington?
The one liner which impressed me was: “there are politicians who use change to advance their careers, and there are politicians who use their careers to create change” [paraphrased]. Nicely put.
The eBay twist is very, very strange, to me, and in my humble opinion a very bad idea.
