I just finished reading another piece from a conservative columnist extolling the virtues and defending the record of Sarah Palin.The main theme, this time out, was the excessive scrutiny the governor is being subjected to, implying that she was being treated unfairly.
It was also basically a him vs her, Obama vs Palin kind of comparison.
Let's put aside that Obama is running against John McCain, not Sarah Palin.
Evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
Here's another one of those pesky bottom line things that keep popping up in my line of sight.
Barack Obama was vetted and chosen, over a two year period, by approximately seventeen and a half million Americans.
Sarah Palin was vetted and chosen, over several days, by one American, John McCain.
Those seventeen and half million Americans want, I think it safe to say, to be able to fuel their cars, keep their homes and know that their families are safe.
That one American wants, I think it safe to say, to win an election.
The point that the governor is being scrutinized to the point of microscopic distraction is a reasonable one.
But, fair being fair, it's also reasonable that the governor should be subjected to that scrutiny.
She has a lot of catching up to do.
And so do we.
