PLEASE, I beg you. It's about QUALIFICATIONS and not experience. One could also add

"gravitas", if they were so inclined. And "working knowledge of world affairs".

1. I could care less what the resume says

2. Obama has executive experience. He has ran the largest campaign

for nearly 2 years flawlessly.

3. That is true...

he beat the majority of the Democratic machine while being the underdog starting out.

6. it's about QUALIFICATIONS. Period. Sadly, too many DU'ers prefer to be right than win

4. Now more than ever

That old saying about people living in glass houses applies to both parties, lol.

5. Actually... it's about politics and ticket balancing.

I don't remember Quayle having qualifications OR experience.

She is balancing the ticket in every way imaginable.

Female vs. Male
Young vs. Old
Healthy (and fertile) vs. Cancerous
Right wing conservative vs. centrist/moderate
Governor vs. Senator

This is a "VP as Protege" ticket. And it will be spun as such, and a lot of people will buy it. And yes, she fits into the VPILF for more men than we ladies want to think about. Nor can we do anything about it. Even exposing it will cause the men to laugh, because they aren't afraid to admit it, and she probably won't mind. Heck, W is "excited".

The American people, in general, are NOT acting upset about this. Just the pundits and the DU'ers.

We need to quit laughing and get busy figuring out a way to attack her candidacy that will work, without gaining her any sympathy votes.

I say we just let her trip herself up by revealing that she isn't in step with McCain, and doesn't have the depth to step into office if it's required. She can gain breadth. But "shallow" is usually a life-long attribute.

We don't need another shallow, self-serving president.

7. Who cares? I wish she would breast feed and burp the baby during a rally. She is not my candidate!

Get it?

[KittyWampus]

8. kick cause the word experience is still being used

[backscatter712]

9. It's about judgment.

Obama's got it. McCain and his pet don't.
