"Palin has held appointed and elective office since 1992 - 16 years. And those are full time offices."

Please see beautiful downtown Wasilla where Gov. Palin served all of but 20 months of her 16 years as an elected or appointed official.

You don't get it, do you? Part of the VP's job is to REPLACE the president when he can no longer perform. So Yes, the fact remains that the nature of her position is very presidential.

I get it. I get it completely. And fact still remains that she has at least as much experience as the oppositions Presidential candidate.

Alaska State Senate President Lyda Green (R): “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?” (Green is from Palin’s home town of Wasilla.)

Alaska House Speaker John Harris (R): “She’s old enough. She’s a U.S. citizen.”

Alaska Democratic Party Chair Patti Higgins: “In this very competitive election for them to go pick somebody who is … under a cloud of suspicion, who is under investigation for abuse of power. It just sounds like a pretty slow start to me. We need a vice president who can step in if, God forbid, something happened to John McCain. I don’t think she’s someone who is ready for that 3 a.m. phone call.”

Randy Ruedrich, Alaska Republican Party Chair: Not giving interviews.

Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg: “a mixed set of emotions, kind of an odd sense of Alaska nationalism or pride. This is like watching a moon landing or something. It’s just something you don’t expect to see very often. It’s wonderful. It was an emotional thing to see the governor walk out with her family and I say, wow, I work for her.”

McHugh Pierre, Alaska Republican Party Spokesman: “She brings her voice of new energy and change. And she knows Alaska.”

Indicted Alaska Sr. Senator Ted Stevens (R): “it’s a great day for the nation and Alaskans.”

Andrew Halcro, local blogger who ran against Palin for governor: “This shocking choice says more about McCain’s desperation than it does about Palin’s qualifications”.

Alaska State Representative Mike Doogan (D): “Either Sarah Palin has talents and skills we were not aware of”, or “John McCain fell down and hit his head”. He also called the prospect of Palin potentially needing to take over as President”pretty scary.”

What are Obama's accomplishments? His ties to Tony Rezco and William Ayers? His speeches?

Don't you remember these:


YouTube - Dukakis Unable to Name Obama Accomplishments

and this one
YouTube - Obama campaign rep STUMPED on legislative accomplishments

and this one
YouTube - Name one accomplishment by Obama

oh and this one
YouTube - Name an accomplishment by Obama, part II

Get this CLOWN disqualified for President and put him back to mopping floors. The dems HATE HATE HATE Palin. A pro-gun, anti abortion WOMEN. They HATE IT! Just admit it. Tell me you hate hearing her name. SHe has shaken the dems up and by all means that is good news for us. Obama was not MAN ENOUGH to pick Hillary. The maverick John McCain did, and look at this response. This election is not about change anymore to the democrats, it's about Sarah Palin. The Barracuda..a real VP, washington Outsider.

I'm voting for a REAL ticket. The REAL change Washington needs. The American dreamticket John McCain and Sarah Palin.
