Answer 8

Marina, her experience is not relevant.  I lived in Alaska for a few years, including during the race for governor.  She was mayor of Wasilla, which, at the time of her mayorship, had a population of 7000.  Alaska, though the largest state in the nation, is one of the most sparsely populated.  Now, tell me how that qualifies her to make foreign relations decisions?  Tell me how she plans to help the crashing american economy?  What are her plans for stopping jobs to be outsourced?  Obama took time to go visit other nations and speak with world leaders.  Took time to talk to the troops and see what they were going through.  What has Palin done?  Does she have any knowledge of what is happening to the troops in Iraq?  Has she been over to Afghanistan?  McCain now has no room to talk about inexperience, since he chose a running mate who has even less experience than Obama!  And think about this, McCain is 72, and has been through multiple bouts of cancer.  What happens if another one comes about, or his years just take their toll and he can no longer fulfill job as president.  Would you really feel comfortable with Palin taking over as President?  I know that I don't.

edit:  Sophie, by the way.  Did you know that Sarah Palin is currently under investigation for ethics violations as well?  She fired a member of her staff for not investigating and trying to fire her ex-brother in law because of his poor relationship with her sister.  Ethical?  If you're a republican, yeah.

Answer 9

She still has more experience than Obama, and she is only there as second in command if God forbid something should happen to McCain.  Obama wants the big time with less experience than her.  Obama's VP elect has  more  experience than the Presidential elect.  Doesn't seem right to me.

Answer 10

Ironic, isn't it? It was a desperate move to steal Obama's thunder. McCain had to make history one way or another, so he chose Palin. McCain probably has alzheimers.

Answer 11

No,Wasn't obama about change in washington?And he picks Joe Biden.

Haha sounds like business as usual for Obama.And besides he picked him as a attack dog.Because obama don't have the stones nor the ability to handle it himself.

Answer 12

Well, no, she was just a runner up, actually.

The difference, which you are being obtuse about, is the PRESIDENT vs. the VICE president.  If you Dems would just reverse the order of your ticket, and put the experienced guy on top, you MIGHT have an argument on the experience thing.

Answer 13

first of all, we need to be mindful of McCain's vice president because he is 73, he does not show much potential of slowing down, but 70 is a big number.

btw, politicians are hypocrites. they have to be to impress voters. they lie, they cheat, they steal, to get our vote.
