Come to think of it (and in light of the geographical confusion evinced by some of his comments), I am beginning to believe you can apply the same argument to John McCain as well.

This is not good; you can't depend on other people for all your information, especially given the profound vetting of such that goes in circles of power. Sometimes you need to read, and I suspect the evidence is that neither one is overly familiar with the printed page.

And sometimes you just can't teach a young dog new tricks, either. You can't run a country of one third of a billion people with a least-common-denominator intellect.

Check Sarah's scholastic record. I remember someone posted her transcripts under a FOI inquiry, including her GPA and IQ test* results, which (although normally not something one would do) I think is a fair to apply for discovery given the gravity of the position Sarah is applying for.

(*High school transcripts under her maiden name, 2.2 and 83, respectively, with photo ID. The FOI report was a PDF of old scanned documents and did not appear to be photoshopped. If further corroboration is needed I'd prefer you used your own sources or a third-party independent.)

Your excommunication hearings begin 11/5/08.

Its a neat argument, but the country's just not buying it. While she has certainly energized the far right of the republican base, its not enough to take the presidency, and never will be.

lol

Obama continues to impress an ever increasing number of voters with his calm and obvious understanding of the moment we now find ourselves in, and with the clarity of his proposals.

You must have coolaid coming out of your ears.

Reality is that every time Obama speaks, more Americans become convinced that he is indeed qualified for the job.

lol, I just hope you don't pee in the same coolaid tank your swimming in and the wimpy color blue is drinking out of.

I hope to see Sarah in the Senate in 2010 or a full Presidential run in 2012.

Then George Will, Noonan and Parker, along with the Romney slime who are undermining Palin even today- can all go pound salt!

If Palin's the 2012 nominee, the party will get 35% of the vote.

I'll take Palin over the other three candidates combined. Is she experienced? More so than the others. Will she make mistakes? No more than the others. She has demonstrated her orientation by her work as Governor of Alaska. That is far more than we've seen from Obama. We know she is for smaller government, lower cost government; that she understands that citizens are the sovereigns in this county, not the inside-the-Beltwayers or the idiotic intelligentsia (who of course are appoplectic at the thought of her in power)

Well, you know, there are two tanks in this election, and I'm sure the McCain tank is as full up to the brim with blind swimmers as the Obama tank.

The Obama tank is obviously much bigger or more people would be questioning Obama's qualifications and experinces, which are only comparable to Palin's and not to McCain's or even Biden's.

I would far rather have an underprepared VP candidate than an underprepared lead candidate or is that just too much common sense?

Todd,

Its a neat argument, but the country's just not buying it. While she has certainly energized the far right of the republican base, its not enough to take the presidency, and never will be.

Obama continues to impress an ever increasing number of voters with his calm and obvious understanding of the moment we now find ourselves in, and with the clarity of his proposals.

Palin, on the other hand, seems determined to associate herself with the worst elements of the right, moving further and further away through word and deed from independents and moderates.

Sarah Palin is not going away. She is a rising star in conservatism, and all the biased, lying polls you can trot out will not change that.

He's certainly right about this. And I for one look forward to the coming warfare, if McCain loses, between Bobby Jindal and Sarah Palin for control of the Republican party. Should be fun.

And yes, Sarah Palin is the ONLY reason this race is close. You see, 'Ottovbvs', we don't wear tin foil hats and we don't EVER believe what the NYT or CBS "poll" is saying. They have proven over and over again that they are liars, and their "polls" have NEVER been proven to be even close to accurate.

The press is obsessed with Sarah Palin because they need to destroy her. We know that. But win or lose, Sarah Palin is going to be around for a long, long time. Probably longer than either the NYT or CBS.

A NYT/CBS poll shows that a strong majority of voters believe Sarah Palin is unqualified for the vice presidency ...

The self-fulfilling prophecy when perception becomes reality. When you start getting the heebie-jeebies because Senator Obama is less qualified than Governor Palin, let me know.
