Well SailKing, it's better to have no experience and BE the president

Yet, if you examine the record, she's more experienced than Obama and has far more actual accomplishments than a couple of autobiographies and a speech.

Silence from the democratic party member of sailnet, or could it be that they are too busy playing Mr. Bill?

oh NOOooooooooooo.

they said in February it was theirs to throw away. I think they kept the bathwater on this election, because this baby is gone down the drain.

Nah... i just don't waste as much time on here as i used to. I do get a kick out of you guys hyping yourselves up though! You guys must be really worried!

As for Palin... "Palin's lack of experience undercuts GOP charges that Obama is not ready to be commander in chief."

The Associated Press: Analysis: Palin's age, inexperience rival Obama's

Of coarse this is the debate of the next sixty plus day's. Yet she has more experience than Obama and has accomplished more in 20 months than Obama has in three years.

Well Joel, I must admit, I am enthused about Palin. Her record, her list of achievements, (things she actually has, unlike Obama) give me an actual conservative to root for. One who could be on the first step to being the first woman President.

Of course, I do have the advantage of 22 years of living in Alaska and knowing something about what she had to go up against to get where she is. So yeah, I'm enthused.

But even from simply the political junkie standpoint, I find it a fascinating choice. It adds someone who doesn't just talk about change, but has actually brought about change. Someone who doesn't just talk about bi-partisanship, but has actually demonstrated it. Someone who doesn't just talk about leading, but actual does lead.

The first instinct will be to talk about her age and experience, but I don't think that will last long. For one, Obama is running against McCain, not Palin. And second. compared to Obama, her record is much deeper, more substantive, and more positive, so talking about her level of experience, only emphasis' just how shallow Obama's is.

Thumbs up Dems already Attack Palin..

You know the Dems really look very SEXIST after the treatment of Hillary and now attack Palin on her experience...????.... WOW...

Obama is a community organizer, lol... By his own admission he did not accomplish anything in three years... LOL....

Well, Palin was also a 'community organizer'... Only there are other names to describe her community organization... 1) An effective member of the PTA- So much so people wanter her to run for city council... 2) Effective member as a city council woman- so much so people wanted her to run as Mayor.. Effective as mayor they wanted her to run as Gov- pretty effective when she has a 90% approval rating and has already done more as a Governor then Obama has done in his whole career- LOL.... Lets also not forget Palins success in the private sector and also dealing with the oil and Natural Gas industry in AK....

Now, I do like the other factors as well....

- She gets up at 3am to go moose hunting with Dad...
- Hunter and avid Fisher woman...
- Marathon runner...
- regular snow mobile racer and even won 4 titles...

Thinking as the Girly Boy Obama gets his manicure at the harvard wussy club- this woman can actually bait her own hook and fish the AK waters... She certainly looks better then the Girly Man Obama...LOL... IMHO

Great Choice for McCain.... Another Maverick who makes the race interesting. Good Job....

Actually, it's her parents that have run marathons and her husband who is the snowmobile champ.

Palin is currently under ethics investigation for abuse of power.


oh... i was wondering about something else today too during all Mcsidekicks VP hoopla: Could one of you guys tell me why he is not wearing an american flag pin on his lapel? I think we should question his patriotism.... right? Interesting that Palin's flag pin looks more like a dollar sign too.

I think McCain's choice of VP candidate Sarah Palin is brilliant and a huge surprise.
