First off, McCain is a confessed dilletante where economics are concerned. What does Sarah Palin bring to the plate to offset this weakness? The square root of fanny anne.

Secondly, one of McCain's arguments against Obama's candidacy is his 'inexperience'. Obama is 47. McCain has just chosen a 44 year old running mate. What the deuce?!

Third - apparently John McCain met his eventual VP choice all of ONCE before he asked her. Once? He made that consequential a decision based on one meeting??That's all it took to discount Mitt Romney, Huckabee, and even Giuliani? So he's saying these men were all blown out of the water after that one meeting? Is she that brilliant?
If she's that spectacularly stellar in her talents, why did noone suggest she run on her own for president?

To be fair, she may well prove to be an outstanding candidate. But what message does that send to his fellow contestants to the nomination that he didn't show them the minimum respect in at least appearing to vet her more. One meeting?? Now this starts to look like a high risk, if not downright reckless stunt. A headliner grabber. It also looks like a mismatch. I don't see McCain entertaining much resistance or challenge from this kid. After all, how can she tell McCain anything about anything in Washington - she's never been there! She's only 44!!

McCain is 72 years old. He's battled cancer 4 times. God forbid, he becomes the president and joins the other 4 presidents who have died in office due to illness. He will then have lumbered the country with Sarah Palin??

Can anyone honestly tell me that she is ready to be president???

Bollocks. I think this is brilliant for Obama and the democrats, and this election is now their's to lose.

Wanna get laid? Crawl up a chicken's bum and wait.
