Qualitfied? Are we talking about experience?
I would think that someone that has held office as Mayor of a town and then Governor of a State would have administrative and managerial experience. Isn't that pretty much what a President (should somethig happen to McCain) does. I think many people forget that the only way to get real presidential experience is to actually hold the office. We've not had any one elected to the Oval Office that had prior experience, I don't think.
And every one of the Presidents have surrounded themselves with advisors on every issue faced by them.

Voted... no.
Technically she's "qualified," (meaning she's notbarred from it)but then again so are a large number of people in the country that fascinate me by even managing to survive day to day. In reality, she's not remotely close to qualified.

Under 45 years old, loves the outdoors, hunts, a Republican reformer, taken on the Republican Party establishment, many children, a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than two years in the governor's office.
Sound like Sarah Palin? Sure does but it was also Teddy Roosevelt in 1900.
Hmmmmm...........
Yata hey

TR has been reborn as Palin?! :dude:
I think the upcoming debates will tell a lot about how "qualified" the candidates are for the job. Both Obama and Palin come to the table with seemingly low experience, yet it could turn out that both would make great presidents. We'll have to see.
But Palin for sure has my vote that she seems like a cool person.
My vote for who should be Pres is still up in the air.

I don't think experience is really the main issue. Dubya showed us that experience doesn't mean anything (don't take the wrong way, I mean it in the sense that he had decent experience as well as a family history and still sucks royally). My issue with her not being qualified is that the last thing this country needs is someone that can't keep religion out of politics. Her statements about the Iraq War being a "mission from god," or something to that effect, have no place in the White House. We need someone that will govern by the Constitution, not by their personal religious beliefs. McCain's selection of Palin is an extremely lame and woefully obviousattempt to pick up Hillary voters, nothing more.

Yeah well thanks. OCDO is becoming a morass of bathetic ignorance. That goes to the bone and neither a bath nor baptism can cure it.

Sorry guy....but she is more qualified for President than you guy and she isn't even running for that office.
You guys on the left want to cloud up the issue in that regard.
The real question here is JUDGEMENT.....and there thediscrepancy is huge.
Your guy showed his lack of judgment in his choice of religious leader, friends and running mate.
You showed your lack of judgment when you chose your guy.
