Yea, but is she tough enough?

Palin has done what the Republican Party wanted. With the girl from no where.
Even her pregnant teen worked in their favor. What is that? Shock and Awe.
Shock and Awe from announcement, thru and pass the Convention time.
If they can stall her interviews and dole out a few questions here and there..
tidbits from time to time until the debate, all the better.
Why? Because tell me, since that Friday, what has everyone, Democrats as
well as Republicans been talking about? Arguing about? McCain? McCain who?
Oh, the old guy who was a P.O. W.
And who is talking taxes, economy, war, health programs? Obama.

There is no doubt about it, Palin is one tough cookie. Don't count her out.
Joe Biden better have his facts in order. He better be on top of his game.
He will have to deliver seriously, calm and matter of fact. No jokes,
Because McCain/Bush group will have her trained well. Right now while they
are keeping her under wraps and only allow out a few questions and answers
here and there, she is cramming for the test of her political life.

What is it that pisses off us women over 50? That is not ringing true to us?
Is it the arrogance? the entitlement of her? Is it because we don't feel she has
experience or is it we don't feel like she has earned the spot?

We know of several other women who have earned the right. Senator of Maine,
or Texas. Both women are good choices. They have the experience, they have
earn the right. But they can't do the SHOCK AND AWE bit. They are women.
Like we are women. It is like sending the rookie in when it is the last quarter
and the score is even. We don't think she has earned the right.
It isn't because she doesn't have the gonads, it isn't because we don't think she
tough enough. Because she has already showed that she takes no prisoners,
she is cut throat enough. But she just has not earned it. That is why the Traveling
Pants gals are not buying into this woman.

Women are tough. Have doubts? Have you ever seen a women's wrestling show?
A roller derby show? Women are rough cut throat, who fight nastier, dirtier.
They go for the blood. That is why Sarah Palin has the nickname of Barracuda.

Does this make a good President? Not necessarily. Because they are women
who are out for themselves. Not about the cause. It is about them winning at any
cost. Will she fit in the Republican Party? Yes, The Republican party has been
known for dirty trick fights. Last minute lies that are thrown up to the media with
no time to disprove them. Remember Bushes', McCain black baby out of wedlock story,
caring less about how it would effect his adopted daughter. The Kerry Swift boats.
Nixon and his dirty tricks. The running of Perot out of the race by stories about his
daughter? The no prisoners attitude...oh, ya, she will fit in well.

As she is cramming for her big test, the debate. (why is it that the VP only do one?)
YOU, ladies and gents... hang on to your hat.. this is going
to be one heck of a bumpy ride. And it isn't going to be pretty.

I don't know. The cracks are beginning to show and they aren't the ones in the ceiling that Hillary made!
