Yeah, it is hard to imagine a grown human with a fully functioning brain could watch all the interviews with her and still want to take actions to get her into the White House. I seriously wonder how someone could watch her and think "yeah, I could see her in the White House." It worries me.

My thoughts...mccain could have chosen someone more respected, more qualified and knowledgeable in foreign affairs, not to mention reforming. Ms. Olympia Snowe would have been a much better choice as a woman VP.

so now what do you really think of Palin? Should we wait for Saturday Night Live to make a decision? They usually clarify my thoughts on that show.

Pretty much what I expected her today. Pretty uneventful.

The point is you can't have it both ways. You can't say she's has executive experience, well qualified, yadda yadda yadda.... then go back to saying she's only got 5 weeks experience so she exceeded all expectations and held her own against a very seasoned senator.

Edit: The dems also didn't make it a selling point that Obama was a community organizer among other things. That was made into an issue from the other campaigns calling him out on it. And it still isn't any kind of rally point for Obama's campaign as far as I can see. But as far as Palin went, the McCain campaign basically went on the offensive when bringing up Palin trying to use her experience as a selling point, not in defense of her character.

I've come to a conclusion that a person need not have any qualifications and/or experience to be become president.

you are 100% correct. the country is not run by the president. it is run by others behind the scene.
