Forget the law degree...if I follow the Palin plan, I could be the VP nominee in 2024.

Education:

We both have bachelor's degrees although hers in is communication and mine is in written communication. But if you want to get technical, she did transfer colleges five times and I only did once. Plus, I can cite that year as a political science/pre-law student at Drexel where I learned all the ins and outs of political polling.

Honors:

She won a scholarship through a beauty pageant. I won a scholarship through um...scholarship. And I was inducted into honor societies...guess I better keep that quiet or I might be seen as an elitist.

Extra-curriculars and Employment:

She did win a beauty pageant...so she's got me there. I always wanted to be valued for my mind, which really won't win me many Miss Congeniality titles...but perhaps the feminists would have my back?

Palin was a sports reporter on TV. I was an arts and entertainment reporter for print and then a public relations writer for print. She helped run her husband's business. I managed a business when I was 20 and I manage an office now. I've also been working in law for a while now, dealing directly with the Social Security Administration (that's a federal agency, you know) and county and district judges. I'm also cool with the support staff of three local congressman and Senator Spector. But...that could be played against me, making me look like too much of an insider.

Family:

I have an incredibly diverse family, just like Palin. Only I've got her beat because I'm a single mom so I know more about the struggle.

The next steps:

The way I see it, I need to run for some type of public office in Blandon. (Blandon, the tiny little town where I currently live has the roughly the same population as Wasilla did in 2000, (that's the "city" where Palin was elected to the city council). Hey, maybe I could even run for city council in Reading! It's the fifth largest city in PA and it has 15% more population than Wasilla. And my uncle is a former Reading city councilman...so it's doable.

After my stint in city council, I need to ruffle some feathers and start wearing more lipstick. I need to march into Harrisburg and tell them who's boss. But wait! Former PA governor/former head of the Department of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, wasn't chosen as his party's VP nominee, even though PA is a key battleground in the election. Hmmm...I guess I need to move to a less populous, less important state.

And in between all of that, I need to have four more kids and then let them run wild and get pregnant at 16 so I can show them off to the media.

Watch out America...here I come!
