So you think you can be an American President?

So where does that pesky little issue of political experience come into the anatomic equation?

A quick biographical summary:

Before running for President in 2008, Hilary studied at Yale Law School, was twice listed as one of the hundred most influential lawyers in America, had an eight-year stint as First Lady and was elected for senator of New York State in both 2000 and 2006 with a large portion of the votes.

Before being selected as the Republican Vice President candidate, Palin studied journalism at the University of Idaho, won the “Miss Wasilla” title in a local beauty contest, had a scandal-fuelled two-year stint as Governor of Alaska and enquired of CNBC anchor Larry Kudlow, “What is it exactly that the VP does every day?”

To put it another way, whilst Palin and Clinton may indeed both not be recipients of a Y chromosome, their levels of political experience are seemingly less in-sync than their genetic structures.

Inevitably, we return to that single commonality - the oestrogen factor.

Can Palin smash further away at Hillary’s 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling on pure account of her feminine hormones?

In the world of “So you think you can be an American President?” this scenario sounds just about right on target.

After all, as a reality TV candidate on the hottest new series in town, Sarah Palin is the personification of a ratings booster - savvy, sexy and scandalous. And, with the 2008 race to the White House playing out more like an episode of Celebrity Survivor than a presidential election, it looks like John McCain knows exactly what audiences want.

What they want is Sarah Palin.
