Scholars question Palin credentials

John McCain was aiming to make history with his pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and historians say he succeeded.

Presidential scholars say she appears to be the least experienced, least credentialed person to join a major-party ticket in the modern era.

So unconventional was McCain’s choice that it left students of the presidency literally “stunned,” in the words of Joel Goldstein, a St. Louis University law professor and scholar of the vice presidency. “Being governor of a small state for less than two years is not consistent with the normal criteria for determining who’s of presidential caliber,” said Goldstein.

“I think she is the most inexperienced person on a major party ticket in modern history,” said presidential historian Matthew Dallek.

2. All I can say is that the GOP don't want to win the 2008 Presidential Election

they can't be serious!

unless they are just going to steal it?

[Raine]

3. A pick like this is an insult to the American public...

Obama makes a well thought out choice with a statesman like Biden and McINSANE gives the finger to America with a beauty queen who can't tell her ass from a hole in the ground! :mad:

4. She has about the same experience Bush had, and look what happened. n/t

5. No, Bushbaby had *more* experience, if you can believe it.

If this is what we ended up with after two terms as governor, imagine the possibilities with less than ONE term!

Sends chills down the spine, doesn't it?
