StumbleLETTER TO THE EDITOR:
One running mate has run governments
Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008 | 2:06 a.m.
I noticed in Sunday’s Las Vegas Sun that letter writers Mike Mikow-ski and John Sloan expressed concern about Sarah Palin’s qualifications to be vice president.
Ms. Palin has been governor of Alaska for about two years and was mayor of a small city in the same state. She has had to prepare budgets, work with unions and perform various other administrative duties in these jobs. Has Obama or Biden ever had these kinds of responsibilities?
The responsibilities of an administrator are completely different from those of a legislator. I believe McCain has made a choice that will greatly assist his candidacy. Go Sarah!

Small City? Elko is a small city. 8000 people living in the same place is a village. I was president of my HOA, we had a budget there were 1000 homes, am I suited to be VP?
Only if you can win
Agmallard you are dumb..Yes she ran her town but what about the state...What about her service on the ethics board. You are just a partisan who would never vote for MCCain anyway...Barrack Obama could not even author 1 piece of legislation, and you putting down her experience...Oh I forgot the Supreme Emperor, the Savior of all mankind, Barrack Obama is the only god...oh I mean MAN...oh wait person that can do the job...I guess the brain washing by the media has worked on you already...
Obama has lots of experience.
For years his core fundraiser was the biggest South Chicago convicted crook.
The same crook help Obama to buy a house.
Obama has never seen one crook in South Chicago.
Very keen eyes Obama has and excellent experience on top that!
Yup, she "ran" Wasilla.
She "ran" them right into the ground!
Six years after taking a balanced budget when she took office, she left Wasilla with $22,000,000 in debt.
A town of 7000 people, 22,000,000 in debt!!!
LOL, and Jeffrey Skilling "ran" Enron!!!!
This is the kind of assistance McCain needs?
LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Obama has ran into the ground....hey wait a minute he has ran nothing!
I hear Obama For America is flush with cash, jfnance32!
$8,000,000 since Sarah Palin decided that America needed sarcasm instead of solutions.
Seems like it's doing OK!
So what do you think of Sarah Palin's record, jfnance32?
Do you support her raising taxes, requesting earmarks and leaving Wasilla $22,000,000 in debt?
