she seems well and good but her experience is lacking and i think mccain is just picking her to appeal to the women voters that voted for hillary. any opinions?

She is the diametric opposite of Hillary Clinton, and I would hope that anyone who would vote for her simply because of her gender would take a long hard look at her positions on issues before voting for her. Personally, I can't think of anyone less qualified for the job. (Except maybe me.) I also think that putting her family in the public spotlight at this time (with her pregnant, teenage daughter and with an infant with Down's Syndrome) is not terribly responsible. I don't consider those the actions of a responsible parent. If she is willing to do that to her family to further her ambitions, what is she willing to do to the country?????

She is full of crap about her accomplishments as governor too. Anyone who can use the internet, or read the New York Times, can find examples where her actions do not match up with her talking points. Plus, there were people doctoring up her Wikipedia entry the night before the announcement to make her look better.

Ultimately, the Vice President needs to be someone who can be president if anything happens to the President, and this woman in my opinion is not Presidential material. Joe Biden most certainly is. Go Joe-Bama!!

props to obama for saying that her family is "off limits" when asked to comment on palin's daughter's teen pregnancy.

Michelle and Barack must be so happy that their girls are still under the age of puberty.

my parent's wont vote for obama because he's black

My granddad is the same way, and so is a friend of mine's grandmother. I think that a lot of older people are having a hard time dealing with that. People who wouldn't say they are racist, but they still have an intrinsic fear of "the black man". Shame really.

How often does that ACTUALLY happen though?
But still...JUST IN CASE - I think the person should be a bit more qualified.

C'mon, that is not the point and having that attitude isn't good!! The point is having a person who is qualified to be President be the Vice President. PERIOD. You aren't going to pick just anyone off the street. Most of the time the person picked as Vice President is the person who is going to be tapped next by the party to run for President. (Cheney didn't need to run for President; he has been pulling the puppet strings of George W. for the last 8 years anyhow.)

Let's not forget: the Vice President isn't just part of the Executive Branch of the government; the Vice President holds a role in the Legislative Branch as well - as the President of the United States Senate.

It is my understanding that at least once a year that the Vice President temporarily assumes the Presidency, although it is usually for such a short period of time that no one makes a big deal about it (it is during the President's physical.)
