Today I actually heard an educated, otherwise reasonable person say that the American public should vote for Palin because, “she’s just like the rest of us.” Now, I’m going to be honest, Mrs. Palin isn’t just like me. For one thing she is from Alaska and I hate the cold. I also don’t believe in hunting, in fact I played a game of paintball last fall and ended up in tears, therefore even if I did believe in killing for sport I can’t operate a gun.

But I suppose we do have similarities, chief among which is that we do both have vaginas. However, that is hardly a political thing. I, like Palin, have no foreign policy experience (though like Palin, I have neighbors of different nationalities.) I’m sure we have other similarities but I guess what I’m getting at is that I don’t think I’d make a good president, at least not yet. If I wanted a President who was like me, I’d run. The point in voting is that we elect leader who can do what we believe is right and have abilities to handle the decisions and problems that we can’t.
