I just dont understand how she is the best qualified to step in for him and find it great theater to see how they can explain it.

Did you hear McCain on FOX? Said he had been folowing her career for "years and years", he followed her as Mayor of Wasilia Alaska?

Wow, he is a political junkie
Do you really want to get into the experience debate, when the top of your ticket has a man that has been campaigning for president for his entire "political carrer" (if you can even call it that because he was elected to represent people in IL and he hasnt done a darn thing but ignore them since he entered office)?

Sarah Palin has done more in ONE MONTH IN ALASKA than Obama has done in his 143 some odd days as a senator.

Obama SPOKE of change and he choose a washington insider..he can take that change and flush it down the toilet. Right where it belongs. And hopefully it won't be unclogged come 2012, 2018..etc etc.

You seem to ignore his qualifications of what he did BEFORE going from the Illinois Senate to the U.S. Senate, one of those positions which require ALOT more political knowledge than being elected Governor of Alaska, the least populated state in the nation. A pro wrestler was elected Gov. of Minnesota. Strange things have happened. And, she has been at it for only 20 MONTHS.

Is she a Harvard Graduate? Does she have 30 years experience in foreign policy?

No, but she was Mayor a few years ago of a town of 8000 people.

Riiiiiiight.

If he becomes President I suggest he hire a food taster.
From what I know about Sarah Palin, I would trust her over McCain to keep corporations and fascists at bay. So far I would say she is doing an excellent job at keeping the rabid leftists at bay and from what I see that seems a greater possibility.

Throughout her term she has done many things just as passing reforms, standing up to big oil companies, helping to create energy independance.

Obama has mopped a floor or two. And gave a speech or two I think.

Of course she has. A real fighter againsty corruption (which has always ruled in Alaska, but she's different!) as well as a hunter, a hockey mom, and soon to be foreign policy expert and constitutional law scholar, too!
