In last night’s final presidential debate, Senator Obama and Senator McCain were asked the question: Why would the country be better off if your running mate became president?
McCain’s answer included this: Americans have gotten to know Sarah Palin, they know she’s a role model… for women.
If Obama had said, “Joe Biden is a role model… for men,” I think that would have surprised a few people. Just because Palin is a woman doesn’t mean she can’t be a role model for boys and men, too.
This is just paraphrasing, but McCain says:
“She cuts taxes, she reforms, she knows about energy, she reforms, and she’s a breath of fresh air. Did I mention that she is a reformer? And she has a special needs child, I’m proud of her. And her husband is a manly man.”
McCain, did you forget to answer the question? What happens if she becomes president? She can only be fresh breath for so long. Is Palin ready to be the President?
According to a PBS poll, the results are split. This isn’t an accurate poll, so take the results with a grain of salt. Palin’s approval ratings have significantly lowered since the Republican National Convention. As we learn more about her, can we say that we have more confidence that she can lead our country as one of the most powerful people in the world if something were to happen to John McCain?
Does John McCain even think that Palin can lead if he died? Just watch his face:
