Palin: "I don't have 30 years of political experience under my belt but that's a good thing"

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1837510,00.html?imw=Y

<snip>

There are, of course, real risks to the choice. Palin's presence will make it awkward for McCain to harp on Obama's inexperience, much less play that attack-dog role herself. She's only served as governor one month longer than Obama's been running for president, and she's argued that her youth helped her clean out corruption in Juneau, echoing an Obama talking point. "The age issue, I think, was more significant in my career than the gender issue; your resume isn't as fat as your opponent's, that kind of thing," Palin told TIME last month. "I don't have 30 years of political experience under my belt but that's a good thing. I've never been part of a good-ol'-boys club."

1. So McSame's 30 year record is a bad thing.
That's the line to push.

5. Not the good-ol-boys club, but she's as an entrenched, true-believing Republican as anyone else.
Her "feminism" is a load of crap, and her support for creationism is just moronic.

6. So she just insulted McCain because he does
And remember - Biden doesn't live in DC - he travels home every night to raise his family.

8. Will she be able to debate Biden?
Even if he's gentle, will she be able to hold up, I wonder? God. What if McCain were to die and leave her as president?

9. But she's just as corrupt as those Republicans who do.
How many scandals is she involved in? 3? 4?
