He's also told us that the ticket is basically him, and only him. He feels no need to add to the ticket with any experience or clout. Sure, throw a bone to the women and right-wingers in the party, but basically it's all McCain. He'd probably skip having a VP at all if he could.

However, that said... WOW what a fun pick for those who like to follow politics!

Obama IS the presidency, and he is far less qualified than she is!

How true that is. Hussein Obama is a clown, running for president, and is less qualified than our wonderful VP choice who has shaken up the dems.

Obama's experience might land him a job mopping floors or maybe - just maybe- flipping burgers.

She is not just a mayor, she was on the ENERGY COMMISSION and is THE GOVERNOR of a state. Obama has been a senator for two years, ALL OF WHICH HE HAS BEEN ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

The man basically won the senate seat, and then announced his bid for presidency. Palin has been working as Governor for 2 years (actually working ,what a concept).

And if she was such a bad, evil menace that is totally inexperienced, then she wouldnt be so well liked, and wouldnt have instituted so many reform movements so successfuly.

She has a higher approval rating (by almost 15%) than any other governor in all of the other 58 states!!!!!!!!!!

For those who REALLY want change, reform, and a voice for the common people, she IS the most qualified. If you don't, you vote for the stage performer and the insider/plagiarist.

I think it's 59 states. O said that he's been to 57 states, but his staff won't allow him to visit Alaska and Hawaii.

Get your facts straight. She was gov. for 1 year 6 months, Obama was and still is in the senate for almost 4 years. Big difference don't you think?
