Obama in a walk.

He’s like a drowning guy that won’t be saved. Doing the wrong stuff.

Instead of clinging to a rational strategy of running against McCain, he’s attacking the number two on the ticket. And every time he brings up a perceived shortcoming of hers, he highlights a real shortcoming of his own.

Could anything be more moronic?

Sneer? Contempt? Only when someone tries to trade on experience he doesn’t have.

And what would that be? Please be specific. If he has ever claimed Seal combat experience I have missed out on it.

...Ross Perot is no Jesse Ventura. Let’s be real.

You can't be serious. I am no Ross Perot fan, but the man completely upended the two-party system in 1992 running primarily on the idea that we needed somebody who was from completely outside the political system. Before his bizarre withdrawal from the race, he had a very real chance of winning that election and ended up with almost twenty percent of the vote. He followed it up with a second, less successful run representing his newly formed "Reform Party" in 1996.

Ventura was an outsider, for sure, but he ran as the candidate of Perot's Reform Party, only two years after Perot's second Presidential run, and in the wake of what appeared, at the time, to be a political landscape that had been changed in no small part by Ross Perot. To dismiss Perot's impact on those events as somehow irrelevant ignores history.

Me, I actually don't think Gov. Palin has the experience to be president (and that should be the test for VP)--it's a really hard and important job. One that requires years of experience. I like her. I like what she stands for and the future of the GOP she represents.

The best place for her to GET the experience would be as VP, if McCain acts like a good officer and treats her as his XO (Executive Officer) and grooms her with a view towards her being his successor.
