Maybe you can tell how your top of the ticket has done so.

I don't think Obama has made any claims about Putin "entering our airspace" (something the Air Force flatly says did not happen)

Bad bad Palin; how dare she run for the Vice President on marginally better executive experience than the top of the other ticket.

Well, just because she has "experience" doesn't mean she's shown any competence on the job. In her short tenure as governor, she's raised taxes on oil companies to the point that several new drilling projects in Alaska were cancelled (which is fine by me, but the "drill baby drill" crowd might think twice), nearly doubled the government payouts to Alaskans without regard to the effect on future budgets, replaced direct appropriations with bonds even though the state is running a budget surplus, been found guilty of ethics violations by a bipartisan legislative committee, begged for more federal government handouts for that "Bridge to Nowhere", supported Ted Stevens even after his indictment, began a new program to offer bounties for the brutal practice of aerial wolf hunting and taken credit for building a pipeline that won't break ground until 2011--if ever.

Not exactly an inspiring record.

Maybe some of the rocket scientists in here can tell us more about how Palin has taken care of business when "Putin rears his head and enters our airspace...

Eh, never mind that, let us examine Joe the plumbers high school records...

Man, you rightwing nuthouse types really should get out more. Y'know, turn off your PS3, move out of your parent's basement, kiss a girl (or boy).

Nice to see the left remaining above the fray...

If Obama is qualified to be president, Palin is imminently qualified.

That looks like a conclusion without any premises. Please provide premises in the form of copious evidence that surely you must have since Palin is "[e]mminently" qualified.

Actually no one is Qualifed for the job. What is required is the ability to deal with situations almost daily that are beyond any ones experience.
Obama may be that kind of person, but there is absolutely no evidence of it.

Seriously? Did you just fly in from Mars? Obama's been running for President for two years; he's been in the Senate for four years; he's laid out comprehensive positions on all the major policy issues; he at least appears to be cool and collected, and often gives thoughtful and knowledgeable responses to serious questions. Plus, 60%-70% of the country feel he has already demonstrated that he is qualified. And yet, you actually think there is "absolutely no evidence" of him having any qualifications at all to be President?

Man, you rightwing nuthouse types really should get out more. Y'know, turn off your PS3, move out of your parent's basement, kiss a girl (or boy).

To the best of my knowledge he has never drawn a paycheck from the private sector, where performance is a necessity.

Neither has John McCain. He's been in the military or politics all his adult life. Oops, forgot about that part, huh?

Community Organizer. What a joke.

I see. So what about all that stuff we teach our kids, y'know, about how in America it doesn't matter where you come from, you can be anything you want because America is the land of opportunity--we only mean that ironically, huh?

And let's examine your contempt for community organizers--you know, those people who live in your neighborhood and try to get people off drugs, or homeless people cleaned up and off the streets, or abused women help and safety. Yeah, those guys are such losers, huh. Silver-spoon gentry who didn't grow up till they were 40 are so much better.

Question: What U.S. governor is routinely briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

What are you talking about? Her very first national security briefing was on Sept. 23 of this year.

Not to mention this:

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/articles/2008/10/17/palin_omitted_from_white_house_iraq_troop_briefing/

And how on earth do you know what her security clearance is compared to Sens. Obama and Biden? That informaiton is classified, and if you're privy to it and have leaked this information, even in your comment, you may be in violation of Federal law.

That's the Alaska state motto, I'm pretty sure.

Amusing but the state motto is “North to the Future”.

The major problem with Palin isn't just her c.v., but it is the fact that, to date, she has not demonstrated that she has given the major foreign or domestic policy issues of the day much thought.

A lot of that going around...from superdeduper experienced folk too:

Jebus.

If McCain/Palin are planning to scrap the income tax in favor of a massive tax on oil, gas, mining, and timber then I'm sure the Socialist Workers Party will be interested in endorsing them.
