Governor Palin and Foreign Policy

Quiz: Of our last 5 Presidents, how many had extensive (or really any) foreign policy experience?

Answer: 1 (George H. W. Bush).

The other 4 – Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and W – were all Governors, like Palin. In office, they used their executive experience, to work with staff and figure it out.

Possibly because of that superior executive experience, Governors, not Senators, impress November voters.

Speaking of which, and speaking of the fact that Gov. Palin actually has kicked butt on the establishment while an executive, I’m fascinated by the sexist and sincere talk about Sen. Biden having to be careful that he doesn’t beat up on Gov. Palin too badly at their debate.

It might be the first debate to be stopped because of the 3-knockdown rule. During the second standing-eight count, Biden will ask, “Who am I? Why am I here? Can I go home now?”
