Palin's rise captivates us but nation needs a steady hand

Alaska enters its 50th-anniversary year in the glow of an improbable and highly memorable event: the nomination of Gov. Sarah Palin as the Republican vice
presidential candidate. For the first time ever, an Alaskan is making a serious bid for national office, and in doing so she brings broad attention and
recognition not only to herself, but also to the state she leads.
Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important,
powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the
governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the
free world is just too risky at this time.
I would suggest reading the entire article. Many excellent points where made.
