Is This The Kind Of Leadership We Can Expect From A Vice President Sarah Palin?

When she claims to have done great service to the State of Alaska by securing (and having people pray for) the money for a pipeline, one need only dig a bit deeper to find out how successful she is in actually making what she says happen.

Certainly she proved effective in attracting developers to a project that has eluded Alaska governors for three decades. But an examination of the pipeline project also found that Ms. Palin has overstated both the progress that has been made and the certainty of success.

The pipeline exists only on paper. The first section has yet to be laid, federal approvals are years away and the pipeline will not be completed for at least a decade. In fact, although it is the centerpiece of Ms. Palin’s relatively brief record as governor, the pipeline might never be built, and under a worst-case scenario, the state could lose up to $500 million it committed to defray regulatory and other costs.

I've said it before, but we cannot afford the kind of leadership by faith over fact that the Palin/McSame ticket offer America. Come to your senses GOP faithful. If you need to have a come to Jesus moment to understand the problem here, then by all means, go ahead and have one.

Remember: WWJD?
