Description | Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would make a "pretty fragile" president, Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton said Friday as politicians trotted out their talking points on Republican presidential hopeful John McCain's surprise vice presidential pick.
In a conference call with reporters, Lawton, a Democrat, said she was taken aback by the choice.
The 44-year-old Palin has served as Alaska's governor for the last two years. Before that she was the mayor of Wasilla, a town of 6,500 about 30 miles north of Anchorage.
Lawton said Palin has absolutely no national security experience.
"If she becomes president of the United States of America, I think we would have someone who is pretty fragile at the helm," Lawton said.
Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus called Lawton's remark sexist. |
