- Why is political vetting so important?
Game Change definitely showed the importance of political vetting. It is incredibly important that a campaign have all the information about a candidate prior to them running. If this is not the case, the campaign can be blindsided and unprepared to recover once this information is leaked to the public. If Sarah Palin had been more thoroughly vetted, perhaps she wouldn’t have been picked to be McCain’s running mate and his campaign wouldn’t have been so destroyed by her lack of knowledge.
- What is more important: “career politicians” with lots of experience or popularity when it come to national political campaigns?
In my opinion, experience is more important than popularity when it comes to national politics. I believe that a President should be qualified and have a career of working in service to the nation. However, recent political campaigns have shown that popularity is more important to the American people. Take Barack Obama for example-- Clinton and McCain had much more experience in government than him, but his charisma and celebrity allowed him to win the presidency.
