You’re running for vise president? You have only served 2 years as the governor of your state, for crying out loud. Oh sure you have a reputation as a reformer, you fought and won many battles against the corruption of the good old boy network. But come on you didn’t even finish your vary first term.

Pryor to that you fought corruption as a high level appointed commissioner in your state, a position you resigned owing to the frustration resulting from what you saw as insurmountable corruption. You sought a position of higher authority which you intended to use to fight these scoundrels.

Why you support the rights of citizens to keep and bare arms, you’re a hunter a fisherman a naturalist, why you even believe strongly in family values. How could you, how could anyone like you think you have what it takes to be vise president? If something happens to the president you would have to fill his shoes and I just don’t think you can handle it.

Sure you’ve spent the Lyons share of your adult life in public service fighting for the betterment of your community and state but you’ve had other interests too, all that outdoor stuff, church and all those books you’ve written, maybe that’s why when you ran for mayor of your home town you came in third folks probably thought you’d be too distracted.

I know Town Hall readers are among the most informed on the internet. Some of you are thinking, wait a minute “Sara Palin won her mayoral election, twice as a mater of fact and I didn’t know she was an author.

Fact is I’m not writing about Mrs. Palin but Teddy Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt became president of the United States in September of 1901 after

the death of William McKinley, 9 months after the election. There is a big rock in the Dakotas with his likeness on it, guess he did ok.
