Is Palin's speciality the economy?

Question

Obama's downfall was foreign policy experience so he chose Biden who's strongest attribute is foreign policy. The economy is a very big concern of the American public these days and McCain said that he didn't really understand economics, so we would all assume that he would choose a VP with strong economic experience...right? Is that Palin's expertise?

Answer 1

She the governor of Alaska the only state that gives thousands of $ of refunds to the citizens while they don't pay any state income tax. Looks good to me.

Answer 2

no she specializes in gun shooting and having children and being a soccer mom and having less experience then obama and being anti-abortion

Answer 3

For goodness sake, Palin runs Alaska.  Yes, she is good with the economy.  McCain is a humble man.  He was The Chairman of the Commerce Committee in the Senate.  That deals with the economy.  Plus, he has promised a high position in his cabinet for Mitt Romney.  

Palin is the only one of the three candidates runniing that has any governing experience.  Neither one of the other three candidates running have ever been in charge of a state.  Palin has an 80 percent approval, which is 71 percent more than our Democratic Congress.  It looks like Alaska thinks she is doing an excellent job.  She has the reputation of being the most popular governor in The United States.  The news just reported that Palin has to make more decisions, as governor in one week than a Senator makes in one year.  Yes, my friend, she is very qualified.  WOW!  What a winning ticket.

Answer 4

Her specialty is to fish, hunt animals and cut their heads off and hang their fur in her house. She is a wannabe that won't work out.

Answer 5

She is the ONLY candidate with executive experience.  She also leads the National Guard as governor of one of our key military states.

She rocks...

Answer 6

Her specialty is beauty contest runner up.

McCain is basically throwing in the towel.

Answer 7

she has a history of cutting big waste in government.  good enough for me.

i mean, she the one who killed the democrat's 'bridge to nowhere'.

Answer 8

Sadly, no. Palin is a first term governor with very little political experience overall.

She has no economic experience other than Alaska's local economy.

TO PATRIOT P: The "Bridge to Nowhere" was the project of Rep. Don Young and Sen. Ted Stevens, both Republicans.

Answer 9

No, it's making babies.

Answer 10

Palin brings a balance in McCain's ticket. Palin as Gov has way more experience than Obama with his 143 days in the Senate.

Even when he was in the State Senate he did nothing expect affiliating himself to Rezko and Ayers!

Answer 11

I think she's got a pretty good track record of knowing how to handle the economy in Alaska.  They really love her for what she's done for their citizens.  She has an approval rating of 80%.  This gal is AWESOME and will be our next Vice President!!!!

McCain/Palin 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 12

Ummm she has a BA in Sports Journalism

So I'd be hard pressed to say she's an economics expert.

I was wondering what McCain was thinking.  The only conclusion I can find is that he was trying to woo ex-Clinton voters.  That will not work with a pro-life, gun slinging woman from Alaska.

Answer 13

First of all, all economic indicators are that the economy is actually improving. I live/work in Michigan where it is supposedly worse then every where else, and we can't find enough people to fill the jobs we have.

Second she has a very good record of cutting government waste, which will definitely be a benefit to the economy.  

Answer 14

he knows more about the economy than obama, unless obama rly wants to fukc it up

Answer 15

Canada is closer to washington dc than Alaska......

Answer 16

Nope...that's why this choice is even more laughable.

(Dangler:  McCain has openly admitted his deficiencies in knowledge of the economy [shoot, he doesn't even know how many homes he owns!] so your assumption is woefully incorrect.)
