McCain already eliminated the experience argument when he chose Palin. It may win him the election, but Palin is no more ready to be president than Obama.

Picking Palin was a disaster. She's a whole lot LESS ready to be President than Obama. Unless some massive skeletons get hauled out of Obama's closet over the next three weeks, that pick will go down in history as having led directly to the victory of the first black President (and unfortunately, quite possibly to such disasters as nationalized healthcare, as a consequence).

“She’s a whole lot LESS ready to be President than Obama.”

Could I ask you to please spell out the specifics of this statement you posted regarding Governor Palin?

[Reily]

And how can you draw that conclusion?
The facts say otherwise.
Biden has never run anything over the past 36 years other then his Senate office.
Obama tried to make the case that his experience comes from his campaigning. A ludicrous statement!
McCain his minimal executive experience, mostly from the military command structure. Though I don't remember if he was ever a squadron commander.
Pail was yes mayor of a small town for what 8 years. But again its executive experience and actions in that job have consequences not cataclysmic consequences but consequences none the less. Two years as Gov of Alaska again an executive position where the buck stops where consequence matter. Also she has experience in something I would like to see more occupants of the Oval Office have. Private industry experience, she and her hubby ran a commercial fishing business, she had to produce a product, sell it and make a payroll.
If more politicians had that kind of experience we would not have had all the stupidity that led up tot he Wall Street bail out.
