Is Sarah Palin qualified to be President of the United States?

[Ebowed]

She's just as qualified as Obama is to be President.

Okay... and you claim Obama is not qualified to be President, so why would it be acceptable for Palin to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Try not to fall into these traps too easily!

[Ebowed]

She's under-qualified (this isn't a binary), but there are other judgments than experience, which shouldn't be held up as a litmus test.  Otherwise Obama would be dead in the water.

What does Palin offer to make up for her lack of experience?

I wonder if McCain would have chosen an ugly woman.  Any bets?

How many inhabitants does Wasilla have?A thousand?

About five thousand.

Well Jesus, let's put this woman second in line to be in charge of the military.

[Ebowed]

Yes.  Executive experience is  more helpful than Legislative.

By that logic the GOP ticket should be flipped.

I socked my nephew in the mouth for calling his mother, my sister, a bitch.

How civilized of you!

Everyone likes to assume McCain's gonna drop dead,but it is also possible Obama could drop dead of a heart attack - people do have those at young ages too, not to mention he smokes about a pack a day.

McCain smoked 2 packs a day for 25 years; Obama is an on-and-off lighter smoker (usually 3 cigarettes a day when he's smoking).

"Sen. McCain's personal interactions with his new running mate have been sparse. He first met her just six months ago, at the National Governors Association meeting in Washington. They spoke again by phone this past Sunday, the campaign said. Campaign officials would not say if they had any interactions in between."

At least Obama and Biden saw each other at work everyday, among other interactions...
