But Obama chose Biden, not the people, as his running mate. So I fail to see anything resembling sound reasoning in your statement... |

So again I'll say: " But Obama chose Biden, not the people, as his running mate. So I fail to see anything resembling sound reasoning in your statement..."
Thanks for the laugh by the way... |

Because every time an Obama supporter hits McCain on Palin's lack of experience, McCain can just point out that the less experienced candidate is at the bottom, not the top, of his ticket.
McCain has not sacrificed the "inexperienced" argument at all. |

I concur. Plus, it was McCain that made Obama's inexperience the main issue/attack within the last month. |

I'm pretty sure Hillary Clinton got more votes than Obama.
"THE PEOPLE" chose Hillary, the Democrat Party chose Obama.

Now that everyone has deflected the original question, can we get back on point...
How is Obama MORE qualified to be President vs. Sarah Palin as Vice President?

Obama is not qualified to be President.
Palin is not qualified to be President.
At least the Republicans had enough sense to put the inexperienced person as their #2 Candidate.
