THE NEW DURANTY TIMES ON THE PALIN NOMINATION

Surprising support for the nomination of Governor Palin in an editorial in the New Duranty Times:

Where is it written that only senators are qualified to become President? . . . Or where is it written that mere representatives aren't qualified . . . Where is it written that governors and mayors are too local, too provincial? . . . Presidential candidates have always chosen their running mates for reasons of practical demography, not idealized democracy. . . . What a splendid system, we say to ourselves, that takes little-known men, tests them in high office and permits them to grow into statesmen. . . . Why shouldn't a little-known woman have the same opportunity to grow?

Actually that editorial was published in 1984 . . . about Geraldine Ferraro.

IT MAKES MORE SENSE NOW!
