Good point. Still a disappointing pick, IMO.

Thank you, JL! I hope others are willing to call it like it is. To choose a woman simply because she's a woman, to overlook her more qualified counterparts both male and female, to add a woman to the ticket simply because she looks good -- that's not progressive; that's patronizing. .

If Palin measures up and crunches loud mouth Biden you'll be excited. Admit it.

She's the only one of four with executive experience.

Some of our greatest presidents lacked "foreign policy experience." I think "foreign policy experience" is an overrated factor for both her and Obama. There are other more important traits that have to do with character and intelligence and other intangibles.

Well, at least the Obama supporters set their double standard pretty high.

Yeah, but GWB had "executive experience" and look where that got us.
I am talking about someone a little older with a long resume of corporate experience, more elected positions, longer tenure, etc.
