She has more experience than Obama. She has more applicable experience than Obama.

And, in her being a Governor, she has more applicable experience than Obama or even Biden.

Yea, sure, managing a state with the population of Memphis sure qualifies you to be a 72 year old heart beat from the Presidency.

Obama isn't qualified either, he's never managed anything.

Attacks on Palin would be very unwise.

This female thinks nothing of Palin, and any attack on her would be welcomed.

Yeah this will be an interesting VP debate. Verbally attacking a beautiful woman is very uncool. Our human instincts kick in and psychologically speaking, we reject those making the attack. This will be fascinating to watch unfold.

Bush was a Governor.

I agree with you here. But attacking VPs is really ineffective anyway.

Look at Spiro Agnew and Dan Quayle. Attacks on them didn't work.

Go for it. Vet her. We won't cry or whine. I hope that if there is any problem with her suitability, that it will be discovered sooner rather than later.

But I doubt anything will be found. What do you think?

It's not how many you lead, it's how you lead.

I don't know too much about Troopergate.

McCain is the one that needs to be attacked anyway.

How is this a sniper shot at disgruntled Hillary voters? Do any of you think that those voters were possibly looking to Hillary because she a Democrat first and a woman second? Palin is a staunch pro-life, conservative Republican with even less experience than Barack Obama. Clinton's female followers were pro-choice, liberal Democrats. I believe many of you are overlooking several key issues with Palin in this race. Many Hillary voters, I believe, are also issue voters. Palin's vagina will not overcome her stance on abortion, gay marriage, and Republican party affiliation in most Hillary voters eyes.

McCain made a mistake in my opinion. The only thing he is going to do with this pick is retain his own voters, and possibly gather a few undecided who like the idea of a female VP. Issue voters, or voters that are looking for experience, aren't going to be moved by Palin. Especially liberal leaning voters.
