people in this country choose who to vote for based on their OPINION of the candidates. Opinions matter.

Time Magazine have had all sorts of people on their covers; Bush, Carter, Clinton, Arafat, Hussein, B. Hussein Obama, and a whole bunch between these., including ones who never mede it to the US presidency.

the difference is that Obama was chosen by the voters in the primaries. Palin was chosen by one person who is thinking only of himself and how to get himself into the white house. Country first my a$$.

Yes, and when, if he wins he ends up in the hospital, we will see how unfortunate his choice for VP was, he could care less. Country first indeed.

lol at some posters critiquing NYT and then quoting Rush drug-addict Limbaugh. Sad.

Exactly. The man has no regard for anything except his own blind ambition.

you all are missing the point. the point is that he's been a senator a lot longer than 143 days, not how many times he's been on Time magazine.

the comparison was between Obama's lack of experience and Palin's lack of experience. Biden is irrelevant in this conversation.

Though in the real world of the ethical and honest, we don't change definitions of words in order to make our own illogical positions seem valid. That form of fallacy would be like pulling someone behind you to claim you moved forward.
