Palin Exposé

After seeing that McCain went ahead of Obama very soon after the Palin addition, I have decided to actively use this post to help people understand that Palin is not a good running mate for anyone (even a Republican candidate). Of course, this is probably sort of like preaching to the choir (or so I sincerely hope), but I am going to do it anyway, just in case there is somebody who reads this who thought Palin is a worthy candidate for VP.
Starting off in that vein, it seems that the New York Times has made that objective of mine far easier. They ran a pretty long exposé of Palin's mayoral and gubernatorial campaigns and administrations in the Politics section of today's newspaper. It highlights all sorts of fun facts about her "leadership" style: ruthless vindictiveness, over-the-top cronyism, secrecy in place of the campaigned-on openness, and a general disinterest in running a government to serve all the people rather than just her own people. I've linked the article below, enjoy. And please, if you know people who think Palin is a good addition to the McCain ticket, use the article's points to convince them otherwise; just don't tell them it came from the New York Times as that will probably convince them that the "damn liberal media" is just out to get the best VP candidate ever... Ugh.
