SOMETHING NOT TO LIKE ABOUT SARAH PALIN: Support for teaching creationism in public schools. Of course, if we got the federal government out of of the education business, as we should, this kind of thing wouldn't matter much. But even Ronald Reagan couldn't, or anyway didn't, deliver on his promise to abolish the Department of Education, so I guess we're stuck with these issues mattering in national elections. To me, this is a big negative.
BILL STUNTZ on Palin, Obama, and the experience issue. "Perhaps the jobs she has held are too small to count in a national presidential campaign. But that isn't obvious, not yet anyway. What matters more, to me and I bet to more than a few others, is what she's done in those jobs. The fact that her approval rating among Alaskans is in Mark Warner territory suggests that she might be the kind of governor Warner was in Virginia. If so, that should count for a lot--even if she hasn't had much time in office. Because time-serving won't count for much in the offices these four candidates are seeking."
