Politics is politics if it's a Democratic process 

Uhhh, My Christian Faith

Yes, Obama and Barr also meet the requirements. I don't want Obama to be elected for other reasons. By saying I should have no problem with Obama being president, it appears you have a problem with comprehension. Keep workin' at it.

Sarah Palin is the most qualified candidate in the history of the world.

And Obama has ran a campaign of less than 25,000.  Yep the numbers really prove your point.

 /sarcasm off

Now if you want to talk about unqualified in real terms how about we talk about Obama's Racist preacher who "mentored" him for 20 years, or his working association with William Ayers (an unrepentent domestic terrorist) or the fact that Obama has had to get rid of a couple of foreign advisors who may have ties to Hamas and then there is my favorite one of all.  When he gave his speech about what to do with the Georgian Crisis he said that the situation should be referred to the UN Security Council for action to be taken.  Of course he forgets that Russia has a veto as a permanent member of the coucil and would use it to ensure that no action was taken against Russia.  He even now admits that the Bush Tax Cuts have helped the economy not hurt it as he previously claimed.  So there are just some of the reaosns to not vote for Obama and there are many more out there.

Yet another example of extreme, total snobbery. 

During this decade, Wasilla has exploded in terms of growth and population.  It is now essentially a suburb of Anchorage.  I knew people who commuted to Anchorage to Wasilla on the Glenn Highway every day.    

Whoever casts a vote for Obama-Biden is nothing more than a common thief.  Whoever fails to vote against them is nothing more than a moral coward.

PT, The citing of the size of Alaska has bearing in dealing with the logistics of service delivery.  It complicates issues when you have to deliver resources across a state twice the size of Texas, in most cases without the infrastructure in place, such as highways, to ease the process.  You can't ignore emergencies as governor because only 10 people are involved.  I'm not saying Palin is the most experienced mayor or governor in the country.  You are postualting a strawman there.  I'm saying she has executive experience.  I'm saying Obama does not.  Your posting of his resume proves it.  I'm also saying Palin's experience translates to the office she is seeking and also to the one she might have to assume.  Obama has no experience, period.

Pesky, your fastball analogy makes perfect sense.

Good stuff is good stuff, whether you are in the Triple A, or in the Show.

Palin has good stuff, even if she is in the "minors". It's time for a promotion to the Big Leagues.

You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

The metaphor of municipal and state office (particularly states with small populations) being "the minors" of politics has been used so much its a cliche at this point.  You're reaching when you try to say it makes no sense. 

As a former CFO and a logistician, not to mention a field grade officer, let me educate you on promotions:  moving up is based on potential demonstrated.  This works in both in the public and private sector (ok, possible exception noted for Cook County, Ill).  If you truly don't think she has demonstrated the potential to handle larger responsibilities based on what she has accomplished so far, that is your opinion, and we will just have to agree to dissagree.

Now here is where you hit an interesing point: was she the best posible candidate?  That opens up quite a jar of preserves.  What is the criteria and what matters to you?  You have experiance, but then you branch out to different kinds of experiance.  The list is endless - leadership, municipal, state, military, business, etc.  Then there is electability, and there's the ability to articulate a particular message. 

Seriously, have you ever had to hire or fire anyone?  I can tell you neither one is a lock, and you always wonder if you should have hired person B or if you should have given person C one more chance.

One more thought - upon reflection, you are correct.  I don't know who you are and my "yes you do" comment was out of line.  Apologies.  Goes to show that the viseral reaction is not always the right one.   

And one more thing....

....Maybe Smooth Sarah is actually MORE qualified than Romney...because she is ELECTABLE!!  Nothing better than a candidate that actually has the ability to get more votes than the opposition!!

McCain/Palin '08 

Of course I supported Romney and would have supported any qualified pick. Any rational person who has any integrity remotely related to my standards would be saying what I am saying. Sorry if I have failed to join the collective.

Though it is easier to believe the lies.
