Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska Question: What U. S. governor has a higher classified security rating than either candidate of the Democrat Party? Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets. She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.
I suppose it's possible, but whenever the National Guard is needed for international duty, they are "federalized" and would be under the governance of the U.S. military. I don't think she has any more "foreign relations" experience in this argument than any other governor who is in charge of his or her state's national guard units. -Pop
