Would you be comfortable with Gov. Palin being a heartbeat away from the Presidency should McCain win? ?

Question

She has no foreign policy experience and has been governor for only 20 months, Obama has eight years experience as an elected official. She is younger than Obama. McCain is 72 and it's possible he may not serve out his term if elected. I congratulate him on a risky but bold move. It just may get the female vote for those who just want a woman to make history.

Answer 1

She has more experience at everything than Obama.  Her raising 5 children and being Governor of our largest state is far more qualification than Obama running around the south side of chicago pushing his socialist views.  His experience in the Senate is next to nothing and her fine choices exceed any Obama has made. She has what it takes to be president and that is something Obama never will have.

Answer 2

Palin is a danger to women everywhere. She believes ALL abortions should be outlawed...even in rape and even when the mother may die during delivery. With McCain the oldest presidential elect....Palin in the wings is a very scary thought.

Answer 3

great move, she is easy on the eyes!!! go mcain hot wife/VP!!!!!!!!!!! you old dog!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

well he wants to draw some of Hillary's voters to his flock...pretty desperate though. After watching Obama's speech last night, he had to make an all or nothing move on his part.

Answer 5

No. It was an irresponsible choice. A man, with her exact credentials, would NEVER have been picked.

She's a pawn and nothing more.

FYI: Obama has 20 years in public policy matters: he has roughly one year running a hugely successful voter-registration project; three years as a hands-on community organizer; four as a full-time attorney fighting for voting rights, employment and housing cases; and 12 years in the Illinois Senate and U.S. Senate.

Answer 6

No

There's nothing in her history to indicate any of the knowledge or skills needed.

Answer 7

i would be sleeping very soundly at night.

Answer 8

I sure would be. She has more administrative experience than B.0.  and little Joe combined.  And she is also  good with rifle.

Answer 9

Very comfortable.

Answer 10

"A governor for just 20 months, she was two-term mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town of 6,500 where the biggest issue is controlling growth and the biggest civic worry is whether there will be enough snow for the Iditarod dog-mushing race."    ..

..The biggest worry she has had was whether there would be enough snow for the dog race.

Answer 11

I actually despise Biden more than Obama, and that's a man who's going to have to stay in his underground bunker for his entire term if he somehow manages to get elected.

That worries me more.

Answer 12

Not at all.  The idea is laughable if it was not so scary.

Answer 13

She has more qualifications and experience then Obama, and he's actually running for President.  

Answer 14

I look forward to Cindy M. and S. Palin at the sturgis bikini contest next year.

Who ever thought McCain would be so bold as to pull the 'hot brunette',card.

Obama and Biden will make this country great

again

Answer 15

I have absolutely no problem with Palin as the VP.  She has more foreign policy experience than Obama.  He has only been in the Senate for 2 years and has been either out campaigning or voting, "present," for most of his votes.  I don't look at a candidate for their skin color or s*x.  I look at what they stand for and if their views are in-line with my beliefs.  Sarah Palin moves McCain closer.

Answer 16

She's actually run the National Guard in Alaska.  She cleaned up corruption there as well.  To answer your question, YES!!!

I can't believe you Obama people are going with the "experience" argument.  

Answer 17

PLEEEZE NO WAY. ALASKA HAS MORE MOOSE AND REINDEER THAN PEOPLE, AND HER TOWN WAS SMALL. SHE IS NOT READY FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON TO PICK A VICE- PRESIDENTIAL RUNNING MATE.

BUT I SEE HIS LOGIC, MCCAIN FANCIES HIMSELF AS WILD BILL HICKOK AND HE JUST FOUND ANNE OAKLEY.

Answer 18

sure....

...I mean, there are a lot of "Joe Bidens" out there and that's all it takes...right?   You know, match up a complete novice with an experienced "insider" and you have instant Presidential material...

....right?
