Bush are quite different personally and in political genius.<br /><br />Palin seems to see central issues easily, Bush had no clue about the political devastation of going from "read my lips" to "read my hips".<br /><br />As to competent administration, among other accomplishments Palin tripled Alaska's savings in her 2-1/2 year governorship and negotiated AGIA the largest private sector infrastructure project in North American history. <br /><br />Further, whereas my state, Oregon, is in major budget crisis as are neighboring states Washington and California(!!), Palin set Alaska on the path to multibillion dollar budget surpluses (2008, 2010).<br /><br />I'm not sure of H. W. Bush's administrative accomplishments, but I'll take your word that they are there.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.T.

Bush.<br /><br />Can you think of any two people on the GOP side who are less alike? Her strengths and weaknesses are diametrically opposed to elder Bush's. She generates strong feelings in people, and communicates her passions easily and believably. She has good political instincts, but is sometimes rash in her comments.<br /><br />Bush 41...was a competent administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573128955237988159noreply@blogger.com
