> Except for being away from Alaska, being Veep would probably give her more free time than guv. *grin*
I’d like to joke about this but I can’t... with McCain’s age and health history, Palin needs to be ready to do the full job as president. From Day One. Ask yourself honestly: is she ready?
McCain’s age really isn’t an issue to me. Maybe 72 just doesn’t seem that old to me. Statistically, Obama is more at risk of a heart attack than McCain. He’s in that dangerous range, 45-65 with a high-stress job. Cheney was far weaker medically than McCain and he’s made it through 8 years.
Regardless, I’m not concerned about the lack of experience. In part, because the nominee is not going to change, but in part because she has more than Obama. Alaska governor is more experience than community activist and senator. And Biden, for all his “experience” (and I really don’t consider being a senator all that great a resume builder) is a loon. I would take an inexperienced veep with the common sense to chose good advisors over Biden any day.
Nice family man, however, I do give him that. Politically a mess, though.
