For President? Probably not. But she is running for Vice President has been pointed out on this thread.
That said, given my nonscientific sample of people I interacted with today, including a good bit of Hillary supporters, the inexperience thing is not a talking point. Millions of Americans came up with it on their own individually today, despite a terrible Obama response. That is a bad sign.
nonscientific sample = millions of Americans?
I'm not getting the connection.
Millions of America: "Did you see that Sherry Paylin lady yesterday?"/"Nah."
Sorry, two different things. A lot of people I talked to had this view. I don't know if millions of Americans necessarily share it, but the response that CNN and Fox both mentioned getting in terms of emails and calls was predominantly negative. Most worryingly, I listened to talk radio most of the afternoon and while Rush was positive, a lot of other shows were downright hostile, which is rare this late in a Presidential campaign.
All of this leads me to conclude that the reaction on the ground is far less positive than the media reaction, and it has little to do with the Obama campaign. It seemed to me that many people who were not necessarily Obama supporters reached the same conclusion, that she is an affirmative action pick without much background. Now many of them think Obama is also unqualified, but the fact that the Democratic candidate is under qualified does not change the fact that McCain, who is 72, picked someone who is clearly unequipped to handle the job of the Presidency. I don't know if these people number in the millions, but I am willing to bet real money that they do. We will find out in the tracking polls this weekend. I personally am expecting a drop for McCain from this pick.
