Lots of people are still asking "What are Barack Obama's 3 major accomplishments, why does he deserve the presidential nomination?"
INFO ABOUT SARAH PALIN, McCain's choice of VP:
Sarah Palin became a mayor at age 32, beating out a 3-term incumbent mayor from her same party. That's hard to do! One of Obama's campaign people put out an instant statement saying she was ONLY the mayor of a town of 9,000! A town of 9,000 is more people than Obama, Clinton or Biden has ever been responsible for!
===>>> She's been Governor of Alaska since December 2006, a state of 670,000 residents, and has an 80% approval rating! The people of Alaska say she's accomplished more in 20 months than her predecessor accomplished in 12 years. She was the youngest at age 42 and the first female governor of Alaska!
===>>> Alaska had one of the most, if not THE most corrupt governments of all the states before she became governor. She stood up to the corruption and many of those legislators have since left office in shame. In 20 months, she has vetoed more than 300 wasteful spending bills, stopping more waste in her state than any other governor has done in their states.
Most legislators in Alaska are Republicans, so Palin stood up to people from her own political party because she saw wrongdoings and wanted to put things right.
As McCain said when introducing her, "We need a government that STANDS UP FOR US...NOT STANDS IN OUR WAY!!!"
===>>> Sarah Palin has done a lot of traveling around that huge state, many of the towns are far apart, and she has put in more personal effort and has met more people face-to-face than the governors of most states. Most senators don't travel around their states meeting people in faraway towns in every corner of their states.
Alaska is one of our most important energy-producing states and she knows a lot about energy resources. She's the ONLY governor or senator who has ever been to ANWAR, and can give the best information and advice about possible drilling there.
She outshines Obama AND Clinton and Biden. Senators just push papers around and sign a few things once in awhile, and don't even work every day, they show up when they feel like it. Governors are in charge of entire states and responsible for all the people in their state, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
===>>> Obama has only put in 140 working days in the senate. Palin has been governor of an entire state for 600 days, 24 hours a day, governing over 670,000 people with an 80% approval rating.
Mike Huckabee, the Governor of Arkansas, said a governor gets more experience in 1 month than a senator gets in numerous years. Governors are basically running their own small countries. Sarah Palin is more ready than any long-term senator.
John McCain is a senator, but he was also a Navy Commander during a war, in charge of the safety of many people, in charge of their planes and equipment. He's ready, and she's ready, they are BOTH more well-prepared to be President and VP than Obama and Biden, or Hillary Clinton.
