FULL COURT PRESS

After watching Sarah Palin's resignation speech as Alaska's governor Friday, I have a word of caution to the millions of social conservatives who make up the base of support for her 2012 Presidential run. Please insure she picks a very intelligent and mentally strong running mate. To pick up on her basketball metaphor as to why she resigned, that VP pick better be in the open when President Palin encounters a full court press by the.... press or any other attackers.

For if her performance in Alaska is any indication of her administrative style, when that pressure is applied, Air Palin is sure to pass the ball and leave the court.
