I think even beyond her inexperience, the real risk of of the Palin pick is that she is an unknown to the American people. Perhaps the same could have been said at one point of Obama, but he has been under the microscope of the national media for almost 2 full years. He has been validated by over 18 million voters. He has participated in over 20 debates, given many press conferences, and been interviewed by almost every major news outlet in the world.
Meanwhile the clock as ticking as we await Palin's first press conference.
So, with apologies to Paul Simon...
The problem is all inside your head,
The old man said to me
Can't you see there's nothing wrong
With this economy?
My new friend will help you in your struggle
To vote for me
I'll give you sixty days
To get to know her
He said its really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won't be lost or misconstrued
By my old reporter friends
With their newfound attitude
I'll give you sixty days
To get to know her
Sixty days to get to know her
Just watch her attack, Jack
We don't need a plan, Stan
Isn't she coy, Roy
Check her out and you'll see
She'll hop on my bus, Gus
We won't need to discuss much
Just direct your questions towards me, Lee
She gives a great speech, see
Just watch her attack, Jack
We don't need a plan, Stan
Isn't she coy, Roy
You can take it from me
She'll hop on my bus, Gus
We won't need to discuss much
Just direct your questions towards me, Lee
She gives a great speech, see
He said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
Surely it would help you
To see her smile again
I said I appreciate that but
Would you please explain
About the sixty days
He said well she's busy
For the next few days and nights
And we might lose more time
Because of those long flights
But soon she'll do an interview
With some hero of the right
I'll give you sixty days
To get to know her
Sixty days to get to know her
Just watch her attack, Jack
We don't need a plan, Stan
Isn't she coy, Roy
Check her out and you'll see
She'll hop on my bus, Gus
We won't need to discuss much
Just direct your questions towards me, Lee
She gives a great speech, see
Just watch her attack, Jack
We don't need a plan, Stan
Isn't she coy, Roy
You can take it from me
She'll hop on my bus, Gus
We won't need to discuss much
Just direct your questions towards me, Lee
She gives a great speech, see
