Palin qualified for Vice Presidency?

Question

Why is it all the conservatives are saying that because Palin has experience making executive decisions as Governor of Alaska that she would be qualified as VP. People like Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger have been Governor of far more populated states and they arent exactly the brightest tools in the shed.....being Governor of a very lightly populated state proves nothing

Answer 1

Governors  make executive decisions like the President does. Palin has much more experience than Obama. She makes the right decisions. Watch the Rep convention for more info on what she has done.

Answer 2

Considering the fact that the Vice President doesn't have to do anything, yes, she is qualified. Having an 85% approval rating does mean something. I don't care how big or small the state is. By the way, I think it is so funny how you liberals are trying to under-mind a candidate with more experience than your own nominee.  

Answer 3

Being governor of alaska is just as good as being class president at a crowded continental US high school. She's only been there for 20 months. McCain is just attempting to tear the democratic party apart by taking the feminist vote. It was a stupid choice that reduced the chances of McCain winning (thank god). I honestly think that the republicans are being militant, and just making poor decisions. I don't mind at all, since I'm a democrat.

Answer 4

All true however, on paper at least, she is much more qualified than say a first term Senator with no executive experience. Leadership is an intangible quality that can't be predicted. FDR and Ronald Reagan had it. Jimmy Carter didn't. Harry Truman against all predictions had it. Herbert Hoover didn't.

One last thing, you cite two Republican governors as being thick. Maybe, but you sound like a criminal who thinks all cops are stupid. Considering the news media is overwhelmingly left of center, academia is overwhelmingly left of center, the entertainment industry is overwhelmingly left of center, it's a wonder there are any republicans in elective office at all.

Answer 5

being Governor of a very lightly populated state proves nothing?

Possibly, but you have no problem voting for a guy without even that limited experience.  Hate to say hypocrite, but it fits.
