No, I'm not. The question posed was why is PALIN ready to step into the position of Commander in Chief. Has nothing to do with Obama.

Why is PALIN ready?

A comparison of the candidates was not solicited nor does it answer the question.

Why is PALIN ready?

If your answer is "she knows how to lead" then you answered it (however, that would not get you full marks for answering an essay question).

You said:

"Palin is a lot more prepared to be president than Obama is."

Why? Please elaborate, if you care to, on how she is so prepared. Obama is not relevant to the question posed.

I know. I love this thread. It's like the Tucker Bounds interview. I'll try and fill in for Campbell Scott but she's better than I am, esp since you can't see me making the same faces when the question is endlessly avoided.

Ok so she ran a government. I give her credit for that...

But she said she doesn't know what the VP does.
She doesn't know what that pesky war is all about.
She has some skeletons in her closet that need addressing.

I think in the coming weeks as "her story" unfolds, she will definitely be a farse and the American people won't buy it.

I would trust her more to be president that I would trust Obama to be Vice President
he does not qualify for the number two slot.
You people say Mccain uses fear, that is a joke.
It is Obama and his minions that uses these little webs trying to scare folks.
I can not wait for the debates when Obama looks like the Baffoon he is.
He is not fit for office, peroid.

It's sad when someone running for VP doesn't know what that job entails. She doesn't know why we're in IRAQ?...omg...scary. Honestly, she should really go back "home" where she is needed. She has a 17 year old unwed pregnant teenage daughter and a Down's syndrome kid who will need her full attention for the rest of his life. This woman has no time to help run the U.S. much less be commander in chief if old man McCain gets sick and dies. I can't believe the stupidity of some of the people in the Republican party. Palin's nomination is a "gimmick".... plain and simple.

Did not come even close to answering the actual question posed.

Will the witness please answer the question.

The Palinites have no answer for the question because she's simply not qualified. It's quite scary to believe that the Republicans are pulling out magic tricks, such as the Palin nomination. Do they really think Americans are that dumb to believe this "soccer mom" from the backwoods of Alaska is qualified to be VP or God forbid, president? It's sad to see this country continue to go down the drain....truly sad.

About 3% of the time. That's hardly "most of the time".
