I could not believe this choice! Condy Rice would have been a better one. Sarah Palin is smart but has not been to college and had only been out of the country on one occasion since she was born, last year in fact.I do not believe that anyone, male or female with a special needs baby should run for National office. Sarah is running with a man who has had melanoma at last 3 times and to need the amount of grafting he has it must have been serious. I am a cancer doctor and well know how melanoma can strike when you least expect it. It likes to go to the brain amongst other places and can come back even 20-30 years after the first episode. We often see it recur a year or two after unusual stress to the individual. It can kill quickly. In England the next in line takes the throne after a lifetime of very special preparation. Sarah is literally one breath away from the Presidencey and I don't care how ready she thinks she is ,she IS NOT READY!!!!!!A good team of advisors helps but someone who thinks they have all the answers is DANGEROUS! Hopefully the voters will consider these two points amongst I am sure many others when they vote this Fall.
