In December 2006, when US Senator Barack Obama was making his first appearance in New Hampshire to sold out crowds in Portsmouth...
When Hillary Clinton had already hired two top campaign people from our state...
When John McCain, Joe Biden, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Richardson, John Edwards, and a host of other heavyweights were converging on our state and preparing or launching their runs...
Sarah Palin was a week or two into her new job as Governor of Alaska, and hadn't yet become pregnant with her fifth child.
When we were kicking the tires and attending town halls and house parties and asking direct questions and sizing them all up on the most important issues of the day, Sarah Palin hadn't "really focused much on the war in Iraq."
Every Granite Stater should ask themselves this: if Palin had entered the presidential race and campaigned in New Hampshire at the same time as Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden, and the rest, how would she have fared here? Honestly?
I think the answer to that is not a pretty one, and it underscores just how reckless John McCain's judgment is.
p.s. - Perhaps the funniest (or scariest) one - this blog is older than Sarah Palin's experience in high office.
