Well this one is true! Yes I believe Obama is NOT experienced enough to be the President but neither is Palin as VP. Yet the Republicans are all patting themselves on the back for being so 'woman-friendly'.

In all fairness, it's arguable the both are, and both are not, experienced enough. I would agree that Obama is NOT, as he has no experience on either the foreign policy front, nor as an executive of any kind in any way shape or form. He's run - nothing.

In my opinion, Palin IS, as she has the governorship as significant executive experience. Again, it is certainly arguable that her lack of foreign policy makes her not experienced enough.

I don't think Obama was the Democrat's choice just because he's biracial, nor do I think Palin was McCain's choice just because she's a woman. Barrack speaks well to a crowd, and carries himself in a very endearing manner. Palin is a well liked sitting state governor.

The question this makes one ask - would you rather have a mildly experienced governor standing by and advising an experienced, seasoned president; or, a mouthy guy with unimpeachable foreign policy knowledge advising a slick speaking, naive, inexperienced president?

You have the right to make a bad decision, and it's clear you have.

However, the mouthy one would be Biden, and - since Bush cannot be reelected - no matter who goes there they will be "fresh".

There's not a one of them who isn't a "proven" liar, so that's kind of a dumb thing to use as a guide regarding a politician.

However, if you look again, I did not say neither of them are qualified. I said there can be an argument made, then made a strong one against Obama, and the weak one against Palin.

Just Because Bush Wil Not Be Back In The White House Does Not Mean That Who Ever Goes In Will Make For Fresh Ideas.

You Can Think That I Have Made A Bad Decision And If Mccain Is Elected And If Things Are Better Than I Will Admitt To Being Wrong But When Obama Is Elected And Things Really Change For The Better Can You Admit To Being Wrong.

You seem to have a problem with "mouthy" broads. Are you sure you are a democrat, you know the party of inclusion and all?

Wait, if Palin is a "mouthy" broad what does that make Pelosi, Clinton, Sebalius, Boxer, Fienstien, Mosley-Brown?

IF Obama gets elected, and IF he makes changes that lead to a better America, I could certainly admit I was wrong.

I find the likelihood of the first IF to be roughly 45%, and the second if to be about 1%.
