Here are a few things from her resume:
1. She was U.S. Attorney for the Arizona District 2. She was Attorney General for Arizona. 3. She is in her second term as Governor. 4. She was the first female Governor to win re-election. 5. She was chair of the National Governor's Association, and the first female to hold that postion. 6. In 2005, Time Magazine named her one of the five best governors in the country. So, I think she has executive experience, a detailed resume, and would probably be a good VP or President (and I am old-fashioned enough to think that if you would not be a good President you have no business being Vice-President). In fact, back in June and July she was my number one choice for the Democratic ticket. As Arizona has term limits that prevent her from running again for Governor, she is likely going to go for McCain's Senate seat in 2010. Regards, -- Kevin B.
