This weekend I read an article on Time.com titled Pailin's blown opportunity on energy independence and the author was Michael Weisskopf.  In the article it talks about one of the main things Palin wants to focus on in office is energy  independence and conservation.  Palin claims that this is a job for a governor from an oil and gas producing state, "Alaska". Earlier this year Palin missed an opportunity to help the U.S mainland obtain billions of cubic feet of natural 

gas from Alaska's cook inlet. This is a serious mistake that shows that she may not even be ready for

vice presidency. Since this past may, some of Alaska's gas could have wound up in domestic hands.

Palin was personally interviewed in 2007 and her only concerns were about local problems. Palin needs

to start worrying about more then just local problems if she wants to be vice president. In the end after reading

this article i have decided that i do not think Palin would make a good Vice President.
