So you're saying her values and principles trump her length of service in various elective offices in a short span then. Gotcha - my biggest worry is what the Rats will do to her if they play the "no experience" card against her. I suppose they won't because Obama himself has technically only been a Senator for 2 years, and prior to that he was keeping a chair warm in the IL Senate.

I suppose they won't because Obama himself has technically only been a Senator for 2 years, and prior to that he was keeping a chair warm in the IL Senate. When I first looked at her, I was worried about the "no experience" card, too, and still am a little. But Obama would be crazy to play that against her. If he did, and they played their cards really right, they could make it look sexist that she gets attacked for a lack of experience but he doesn't. While experience is nice, I'm not sure it's necessary and she brings so many other things to the ticket that McCain needs that I think she's one of the best choices McCain could make. Remember that she, like McCain, also has a child in the military (Army) and that's the best answer in the world to the liberal whining about being willing to send your own kids into war. She also helps cover McCain on gun rights (lifetime NRA member and a hunting picture on her offical bio page) and abortion (pro-life enough to carry a Down's Syndrome baby to term). And her term on the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission as well as a Hospital board give her some experience with two big campaign issues (energy and healthcare).
