Sarah Palin looks good...and scary

Oct 5 2008 Elaine C. Smith

SARAH PALIN has had a rough ride in her quest to be US Vice-President.

It's only to be expected from someone so new to national politics.

I don't understand the mentality that seems to think she is just a "hockey mom" like us.

I'm sorry but I don't want someone running the country who is just like me.

Yes, I want them to be kind and humane and know what it's like to be a mother and all that.

But more importantly I want them to be brighter than me...really brainy in fact.

Our politicians should be the brightest and the best - not just someone who looks good.
