Yep, the creationism in the classroom thing is a complete roadblock for someone like myself. Wired has this to say about her doubts regarding evolution. I know Huck had the same type of stance, and it doesn't matter to a lot of people, but I don't want another anti-science president in the 21st century, since I want our country to succeed in the global marketplace. Cheetah, great photo find. As long as you don't think bears and crabs evolved to look that way, its all good.
um, if you use that argument, mccain has never ran anything either "executively." hey, mccain brought up that point dude. he's the hypocrite here. he went on national TV and said he will choose a VP that will make a great president if he wasn't there. do you really think she would make a great president? and more importantly, obama has been running for president for basically 3 yrs now and has been on the national stage, been around the world, met foreign leaders... yes he's not the most experienced guy, but he's been battle-tested. at least his VP pick in biden is safer than mccain, that should tell you how much judgement both guys have. you're talking about a potential president who depends on his GUT, ROLL THE DICE type of guy when he chooses a nominee that he met ONCE face-to-face. even his campaign manager admit mccain is a "roll-the-dice" type of person on larry king with this pick in a response. do you want a president that ROLLS THE DICE? at least you have obama who's willing to admit his weaknesses and put advisors around him that will strenghten him (hence the biden pick for foreign policy and national security). how the hell will palin help mccain in any way? more importantly, mccain chooses a woman as a nominee and he is not for equal pay for equal work. i can't emphasize that enough.
Nothing. That is what is funny about anybody using experience as a mantra when both candidates have no experience in the executive branch of any level of government.

This is the snowball that Democratic organizers in red states wouldn't have dared pray for, and believe me no one did. And I'm not happy about it. I've been a McCain fan long before the Republicans I'm surrounded by hated him. And I've been disappointed since, but I really was hoping for McCain to win the nomination because I thought he and Hillary would actually would run on issues and have a legitamate shot at pointing at their differences and not at each other's fingers. Obama brought in an equation that actually frustrated Democrats on many levels that most of us didn't want to deal with (i.e. not W). Since Obama took almost an insurmountable lead in delegates (before our primary) the situation was worse than any quip Will Rogers, Jr. would have gone near. If this ends up being beneficial to McCain, then great. In the meantime Obama is going to play up his "inexperience" his "youth" and his perspective and the Clintons, no matter how foolish they can be, are going to attack like banshees. Again, it could be what McCain wants. But Palin's nomination is what Democrats have needed. So everybody's happy now, right?
I would think that Hillary would welcome McCain to win, being as he'd only go for one term, which would give her another shot next election. If Obama wins, he'll likely go for a second term. Who knows....?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL The democrats can't bring up her inexperience because it makes their presidential candidate look the same. LOLOLOLOL

Refman, I agree. As I have stated in this and other threads, the whole experience thing is WAY overrated.
She's not trophy-wife, model hot; she's prom queen runner-up, get married young, build a family, wonder about how different your life could have been cute. Pretty enough to fit in with the other ladies, but not hot enough to steal their men.
This whole thread is amusing to those of us who have followed Palin's career. She is constantly underestimated by good ol' boys, and many of those same critics are in jail or out of a job (see the old AK Gov Frank Murkowski). They thought they could walk all over her in debates, and she cleaned their clock. She is going to turn an overconfident, condescending Biden into chopped liver.
They've been attacking Obama for months now on his inexperience and his lack of foreign policy credentials and now this? What happened to America first and all that McCain bullcrap? Two months of campaigning as a VP and this woman could be next in line for the Presidency? There are more people on my side of Houston than there are in all of freaking Alaska. How ridiculous.
