She can beat Obama by exploiting the corruption in Washington and Obamas Administration like she did to the government in Alaska. The results were people fired and going to jail. Also she understands the average American family struggles who have had it hard. She and her husband have a small business they operate theirselves. She resonates with them compared to Obama who personifies a elitist with no understanding of running a small mom & pop company. She also is a military mom and that will resonate with the soldiers and command structure of the military who will most likely show support for her. Also she has great knowledge of the Oil & Gas Industry which she has hands on experience running the Alaska Oil & Gas Regulatory Commission as well as her husbands personal Experience in the Oilfield and conservation efforts dealing with the commercial fishing industry.President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature as Governor and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. They are already at 25%. She is already proven she can create jobs thanks to her massive Gas Pipeline which was given the greenlight last month that will bring energy to the lower 48. It will be the biggest project privately constructed in US history according to the Oil and Gas reports I recieve monthly. The other thing she did when she walked into the governors office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as pork. She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the when-hell-freezes-over stack. It urked a lot of government insiders and if elected she would do it again in Washington with the Federal Government. Lastly right now that I can think of is her able to raise 5 kids and run a fishing business. Oh and the reason a lot of people didn't get to know her in the last election was because the MSM refused to report on these things she accomplished as Governor and as a commercial fisheman while being governor of Alaska. The media were in the tank for Obama and she was given only negative exposure because she was a threat if they reported the good things she did for Alaska as a Chief Executive with a very extremely high approval rating. Also McCain made a mistake of not introducing her sooner. This time will be different as she has proven to be a success as a private citizen as the media continues to attack on the nightly news. Has that ever happened before where a citizen was continuously attacked on a daily basis? She knows what she is doing as she toys with the Obama Administration like a cat fiddling with a mouse before the death kill through her private appearances as well as her facebook. I men come on, when does a Administration repond to a private citizens facebook? I mean every day she does something the media is there to attack and attempt to squash her ideology. Think, if she is all these things they say in the MSM like being stupid, immoral, bad kids etc then why bother attacking and focusing on her all the time? The reason is they know that she is actually a smart individual who was a successful governor, wife and mother all at once who will have the capacity to connect with average americans this time around. What Obama needs to do with his democratic congress is start creating mass jobs, open up massive domestic drilling on land and quit the wasteful spending. Otherwise he's burn toast even though he already looks like it.
