Your co-workers response was very typical of any response you would get from any Obama voter. These are voters who got so caught up in the hype that they forgot to ask the simplest of questions. The simplest of questions of course being, how? How as we all know remains to be seen only by those who never asked the question. The rude awakening these people receive over the next few years will hopefully be enough to limit Barack Obama to a single term..... We can only guarantee this though by producing a strong candidate within the Republican party to challenge him. A candidate with the potential for mass appeal who comes across as being strong, with fresh ideas coupled with real solutions containing substanance.
You'll get no argument from me on the many positive attributes Sarah Palin possesses, but in many ways her exposure as the Vice Presidential Candidate did little to boast her standing with in the party and as a future president in my opinion. We Americans do have short term memories but unfortunately many of the negatives that were brought up about her during this campain will resurface again in four years and become fresh in the minds of all those who oppose her now. Her getting duped by the two Canadian's never should have happened and have rasied very serious doubts regarding her intelligence. An embarassing circumstance to say the least. I see her as a hard sell in the future (not to us, but to mass america ), she would have been better off to not have accepted McCain's offer to be VP and surfacing in 2012 instead as a "fresh" new look for the Republican Party.
Time will tell, but I just don't see Goevernor Palin in the White House as our next President.
