Is Palin really ready?

The article I have chosen to evaluate is “Palin’s Words Raise Red Flags” in The New York Times. The author mainly targets the readers who are for McCain and Palin for the presidential election. He questions the audience if whether Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice president if McCain happens to win the election. He talks about how vice president should be ready at any moment to lead and take command of our nation. He gives great examples of vice presidents who have stepped up to the plate to become the next president who either has died or leave of office (Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson). He argues that Ms. Palin has not yet given any signs whether or not she is ready to become vice president. He gives the audience more evidence that Ms. Palin is not ready in an interview by Katie Couric of CBS News on foreign policy. He states that her performance was poor, and would “generate a hearty laugh.” Cleary he argues that Ms. Palin is not ready to become vice president, or furthermore not ready to step up to the plate to become president if something was to happen to the president.
I agree with the author about how Ms. Palin is not ready for the position of vice president. Even though I missed the big debate Biden vs. Palin, I stand here strongly that Palin is not ready for the job for vice president. With John McCain’s age who knows what might happen to him, and furthermore is Palin the right person to take the job of president?
