By chance I came across an interesting item on the my2buck$ blogsite about Sarah Palin. There has been a lot of coverage in the media about this VP candidate, but so there should when an unknown person pops up who could potentially be sitting right next to the President of the USA.
The essence of the article is a letter which appeared in the Washington Post written by Anne Kilkenny, someone who claims to have known Palin since the early 90s. It is very detailed and, on the face of it, presented objectively. Kilkeny explains her own position and how she stands in relation to Palin, Wasilla and Alaska. Overall, the impression given is not good news for the Republicans as it exposes Palin’s ineptitude as an administrator and some of her backroom dealings. The responses have been predictable and the main question being asked is ‘who is Anne Kilkenny?’ Within a couple of days a follow-up posting appeared which was linked to an article in the New York Times which authenticated Kilkenny’s identity so perhaps people can now focus on the merit or otherwise of the contents of the letter itself.
This is just the stuff every USA citizen should read, Republican or Democrat, before taking the vote. It is said that every country gets the government it deserves – I’m not sure what the USA did to deserve G Dubya – but is Palin the type of person who should be second in command [or first if McCain kicks the bucket] of the USA?.

The US people elected Mr. Bush. They even re-elected him.
I don’t think Cain is a desirable president. But he is still a little better than Bush. So the people will elect him as well. If You are outside the US You have a different view. But the US still consists mainly of village people and farmer who don’t know anything about this world.
Anyways. Good luck Obama.
