I like Palin because she makes the Republican ticket stronger and puts a young conservative in a powerful position.

That she makes the ticket stronger, is opinion.

The Twelfth Amendment [qualifies Palin to be VPOTUS]

If we're to be disingenuous, please define "powerful position." (Is it so described in the Constitution? Or can just anyone qualified per the 12th Amendment handle it?)

You might also want to see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pak-rH0dCeA
in which Gov. Palin says "I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me: What is it exactly that the VP does every day?"

Certainly. But saying she isn't qualified is not true. She's qualified. It's your opinion that she wouldn't be any good at the job.

I defined "powerful position" as second in line to the Presidency, a national platform/exposure, and a prominence in world affairs.

After watching it, I think she was making a joke. She was downplaying expectations and she was saying that if she were vice president she would want to be as active and involved as she is as the governor of Alaska.

I don't know what the VP does all day either. Not covered much by the media. She'll do whatever the pres wants her to do. Seems clear to me.

It's refreshing to hear someone who's plain spoken. I don't know how long that will last, but it's a welcome contrast from the usual political broken records and pap.

Both parties have the experience "problem." The difference is that with the dems it's at the top.

On the other hand, those who want to harp on experience might tread cautiously and remember two words, Abraham Lincoln.

ROFLMAO! Of course it is!! Everything about this election has become opinions!!! LOL! In fact...this comment did not strengthen your argument at all....in my opinion.
