Vendetta?
I’ve made my case. Refute it, don’t slime it. Tell us what qualifies Palin to be VPOTUS.

Tell us what qualifies Palin to be VPOTUS.

From wikipedia:

The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."[4] However, unlike the two-election limit imposed on the Presidency by the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution, there is no restriction of the number of terms a person can serve as Vice President.

Thus, to serve as Vice President, an individual must be: * a natural born U.S. citizen not younger than 35
* must have been living in the U.S. for at least 14 years[5]

Other than that, our founding fathers put no other restrictions on qualifications to be the vice-president. Anything else is just opinion. I like Palin because she makes the Republican ticket stronger and puts a young conservative in a powerful position.

Both this thread and yesterday’s more than makes a case for Palin. How would you strengthen the ticket other than to convince Cheney to run again? Obama is the single most dangerous candidate to ever emerge in this country. With so many states divided by less than 1-2% she is a difference maker - the difference between winning and Obama. You can criticize but you can not come up with an alternative that would constitute a winning ticket, at least not without revealing your true agenda.
