This is a great article by Charles Krauthammer. I normally think he is a jackass because all he does is attack Democrats. This made me see him differently because I admire someone who can provide an honest assessment of someone within their own party.

He calls the Palin pick problematic. He notes that in one fell swoop McCain had undermined his strategy of making his campaign about how Obama was "the least experienced, least qualified, least prepared presidential nominee in living memory." He stated, "Palin is not ready."

This is a great paragraph:

Why don't you stop trying to pump the veep experience thing. It has mattered, what maybe twice in presidential history? The problem is Obama's experience level, not Palin's. Compared to McCain, Obama is nothing. He might as well be just a community organizer. If you're concerned about Palin's experience, you should be alarmed then; since she has more executive experience than Obama.

*yawn* Do you want to address the substance of the article, American?

As for Obama's experience, I don't understand why this is relevant. Two wrongs make a right? Somehow her lack of experience is mitigated because Obama lacks experience? Or is it that if you can't argue the facts, attack the opposing side.

I suggest you prime yourself on the duties of the vice president before making another statement like that.

She has more than McCain too. W Bush had lots of executive experience before his presidential position and its now obvious that that doesn't help.

Obama wants to be the President of the United States, Einstein. That makes it relevant. When the Constitution was first established, the veep was the loser in the race. Read what John Adams thought of the veep slot. What are the qualifications listed in the Constitution for being President? Does it say Harvard graduate, community organizer, what? Have you ever read it? You need to seek help with those denial issues you have. This is a Presidential election, not a Vice-presidential election. Maybe you shouldn't vote until you understand those fundamentals.

Why do you keep comparing the TOP of your ticket to the bottom of McCain's? Is that all ya got?

I'll be sure to note that now you're a big Krauthammer fan. I thought your side usually dismisses him as "one of those neocons."

Because if you compare her to Biden, she looks even better?

With John being only a little younger than Methuselah, it does matter some, so she should prepare for taking over, but hopefully she has time. From what I hear and read, she learns fast....

McCain's mother is 96, so don't count your chickens.

UtahBill

When she was introduced at the RNC, she stood up briskly, no assistance needed....
I hope I am that healthy when I am 96....

You can say that again.
