I’m not sure why everybody is pushing Palin. Sarah Palin is in no way qualified or ready to be Vice President. Heck, McCain is 72 years old. The VP selection better well be damn ready to step in as Commander-in-Chief the first day. She was only a Mayor of a small city and governor just since 2006. I don’t see why people are trying to push her so soon. Give her another 4-8 years before even thinking about throwing her on the national stage. Just her reaction that she doesn’t even know what a VP does shows she’s nowhere near ready to face the scrutiny. Putting her on the ticket negates one of the few positives McCain can throw at Obama...that he lacks the necessary experience for the job.
Re-read what you just posted...ahhh...doesn’t she have much more experience than the AnnointedOne?
Yes, I agree. I have seen a lot of hysteria on these boards for Sarah Palin. This is the very first time I have seen her in action, and she is definitely too green for the Vice Presidency. I have never heard a serious politician use the word “cool” like she did.
What’s all the fuss about?
Maybe because the choices for VP are grim for McCain?
Sarah Palin is in no way qualified or ready to be Vice President.
She has ethics and integrity, and a willingness to buck the status quo. That alone more than makes up for her lack of elected experience.
Heck, McCain is 72 years old. The VP selection better well be damn ready to step in as Commander-in-Chief the first day.
I don't think the unfortunate is going to happen to McCain mere seconds after being sworn into office. He'll probably last for the term and hopefully step down in 2012. That four years would give Palin all the experience she needs to take over.
She was only a Mayor of a small city and governor just since 2006.
She has been in elective office since 1992. That's a solid 16 years of public service, despite the fact that it's localized and in the nation's 2nd least-populated state. Neverthelesss, it's still experience, IMO that far outweighs Obama's.
I don’t see why people are trying to push her so soon.
Well, you have to understand that there's a lack of young, conservative Republicans ready to step up, especially at Governor, which is the logical choice for McCain. You need to start looking at the future instead of at the past.
Give her another 4-8 years before even thinking about throwing her on the national stage.
She's going to be in the running in 2012 anyway. Why wait for a good thing instead of now? I think she's ready.
Just her reaction that she doesn’t even know what a VP does shows she’s nowhere near ready to face the scrutiny.
She knows what it is, she probably disagrees with the mundane tasks the VP has to do. There's nothing wrong with healthy criticism of the VP position. John Adams criticized the VP position too.
Putting her on the ticket negates one of the few positives McCain can throw at Obama...that he lacks the necessary experience for the job.
She has more experience than Obama. 16 years in elective office.
She’s more qualified to be Veep than is Obama for POTUS.
Also, look at the enormity of the work she’s accomplished. And, she’s more Conservative than McManiac himself!
She's as capable as any of the leading contenders, perhaps more.
The real question is, can the nation survive another four or eight years of sell-out, foreign-controlled puppets before we get a pro-American in a leadership role?
As far as I'm concerned, lack of experience is a GOOD thing for someone who can potentially become president. Look at the last three experienced turds we've had as president.
