Bailout America or your campaign, a contest Palin belongs in?

Today the bailout was defeated by the House of Representatives, and the stock market dropped the most points in history. One representative said, "Everyone is saying that this is something that you should vote for, but no one wants to be the one to vote for it." The problem is that many in Congress are worried that there will be a backlash from voters. Most voters seem to be against the bailout, feeling that somehow they should get the money for their houses instead of financial institutions. The problem is these financial institutions need to be able to lend in order for the market to pick up again. With such a deficit lenders will not be wiling to do so. The economy will drop, and the problem will be felt by everyone. However instead of doing what's best for the country 1/3 of all democrats and 2/3 of all republicans voted against it. I understand why politically. Democrats want to be able to say that they are for the average person and not Wall Street CEOs. For Republicans it's a huge chance to distance themselves from one of the most unpopular presidents in history. The problem is that they are thinking about what's best for them not the country. Everyone knows that this needs to happen. Are Congressmen willing to sacrifice the American markets and economy for the next five weeks just to get elected? Probably, and that's why people can't stand politicians.


Finally if you read my blog at all, you know my dislike for Sarah Palin. I have been waiting for the debate this Thursday, so I can watch her get destroyed. I mean her debating Bidden is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. However in my study of her I have found that she "shines" in debates? Apparently she is brilliant at staying off topic and saying general fluff. One writer said of her Alaskan gubernatorial debate, "you could tell she wasn't the most well informed, but her 45 second soundbites were what people wanted to hear. I guess it's possible that she could come off as the darling candidate. However I think it's much more likely that she gets destroyed. Most likely the people who thinks she won won't be those who understand most of what is being said. It will be those that say "I agree that we do need to clean up Washington". Even though it probably had nothing to do with the question. So in closing I found a contest I think that she's qualified for:
