Readiness Factor More Important for VP Posted by Shadi Hamid

"Readiness to lead" is a more important qualification for the Vice President then the President. While, at first blush, this may not make a whole lot of intuitive sense, I'm becoming convinced that it does. That's why a lot of us feel uncomfortable with the Palin pick at such a fundamental level, although this unease isn't always fully understood by us or others. Fortunately, Nate Silver at TNR explains it all quite well. Here at DA, my colleague Max Bergmann makes a similarly excellent point that the office of the VP, in today's globalized world, demands a higher level of experience in general and foreign policy expertise/deftness in particular. Taken together, these two posts help explain why we should be even more frightened about the prospect of VP Palin  than we already were.

The problem is very serious especially now during the strong economic slow down worldwide. Raising capital for new start-ups becomes quite a challenging task...

An extremely good post. This short article sums up for me precisely what this topic depends upon and some of the major benefits that can be resulting from knowing about it as if you. A friend once remarked that you have a totally different frame of mind when you do something for real as opposed to when you’re simply toying with it. In the case of this kind of topic, I believe you adopt, or start to consider, a more professional in addition to thorough approach to what and how you write, which in turn helps you to carry on and get better and help others who don’t know anything about what you have discussed here. Thank you.
