It is so very amusing to see the media respond to the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate.
One of Barack Obama’s major liabilities is his lack of experience, particularly on foreign policy. His selection of Joe Biden as his running mate was undoubtedly meant to address that significant weakness.
So, why would the Obama campaign be so incredibly stupid to say that “John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.” Barack Obama, if elected, wouldn’t be a heartbeat away from the presidency… he would be the president. On day one, Barack Obama’s inexperience would make our country vulnerable. Obama’s campaign can’t argue that no experience on foreign policy at the bottom of a ticket is somehow worse than no experience on foreign policy at the top?
This was a great choice by John McCain. The Democrats are scared. And if they want to make experience an issue in this campaign… I say bring it on.
Sarah Palin has executive experience. Obama does not.
Sarah Palin has a record of accomplishment. Obama does not.
Sarah Palin is right on the issues. Obama is not.
I’d rather have Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency than have Barack Obama be the heartbeat of the presidency.
The left’s attacks on Palin are a sign of them being scared of her inclusion on the ticket. By attacking Palin’s experience they have now legitimized the experience debate, and that will hurt Obama in the general election.
It’s been a good day.

Sarah Palin may be a heartbeat away from the presidency, but Joe Biden is a full healthy life span away. So let us compare Obama to McCain, but I forgot McCain is dying, so let us compare Obama to Palin but Biden is out till Obama dies and since he did not have cancer he will in all likelihood outlive Biden. All right, now that we know who gets to live and who gets to die let us balance the checkbook. In the “worst” case scenario for the republicans, McCain will die and Governor Palin who does not have the same national experience as Obama Since she has not run for President for such a lengthy time as him, will become president. In the “worst” case scenario for the democrats, Obama lives and Biden gets to sit in the back seat, napping and getting old in the White House. In the “best” case scenario for the republicans McCain lives and Palin gets to learn in the meantime what to do when the time comes for her to take over eight years later. In the “best” case scenario for the democrats, Obama dies and Biden gets to take over. I don’t know about how you feel, but I rather not kill Obama and give a chance for McCain to live.
QUESTION:
IS PALIN QUALIFIED COMPARED TO OBAMA ?
