Questions

Inspired by a post on Sullivan's Atlantic blog, I've decided to think of some of my own questions for Governor Palin. These will be generally broad questions, but certainly one's that need to be answered. Some of the questions might also be similar or the same to the article on the blog:

1) Why did it take you roughly 6 years and several tranfers to complete your BA? Was there an unusual circumstance behind it?
2) How do you think your experience as a mayor and governor in Alaska has prepared you for being vice president and potentially president?
3) How do you feel about our current position in Iraq? Do you find it stable? What would you do if you were currently in charge?
4) Are you familiar with the "Sunni Awakening"? Can you tell me the difference between Sunni and Shia?
5) What is your position on the Isreali/Palestinian conflict and how would you go about resolving it?
6) How do you feel about China's environmental and human rights record? How would you approach it?
7) Do you have plans for alternative fuel/energy?
8) What is your position on stem cell research? If, one day, we could cure cancer with the help of stem cell research, would you oppose it (assuming you oppose it to begin with)? If you don't oppose stem cell research, then how do you rationalize that with your position on abortion and how do you rationalize it with your faith?
9) If you had to select a Supreme Court Justice in the mold of any one of the current Justices, who would it be and why?
10) What is your stance on how Russia has handled the situation in Georgia? Would you have gone about it differently from the Bush administration?
11) How do you plan to reduce the debt in our country?
12) How devout are you in your faith and how much would it influence your potential policy decisions?
13) Do you have a plan to help reduce the spread of AIDS in Africa?
14) What do you plan to do about the situation in Darfur?
15) What is your position on allowing gay couples to adopt children?
16) How do you plan to approach the issue of illegal immigration from the Mexican border?
