Lucky to be Obama -Pt.14 (Alaska approves)

As if being picked as a trophy running-mate or flumbing interview questions from Katy Couric weren't supercilious enough, Sarah Palin has to be smarting from the public diss of Alaska's LARGEST newspaper, The Anchorage Daily News, which "soberly" endorsed Mr Obama.

Booyah!

The newspaper described her and Mr McCain as too risky to lead the country:

Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency — but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.

Mrs Palin is a perfect example of the Peter Principle. She's apparently good in her present post but will be outside of her league outside of Alaska and is a disaster-in-waiting should the Republican ticket win the general election.
