VPILF!

[G.Irish]

Is it just me or does this seem like a terrible pick? There's the whole experience thing, which is quite important considering McCain would be the oldest president ever elected. And it also seems like it may end up insulting some of the voters he's trying to draw in because it looks like choosing her just to steal female votes.

That said, I really like her on 30 rock.

She has more experience than Obama and she is only running as VP.

Governors do more in one month than a senator does in a year. She probably has more executive experience than all the other candidates.

Yeah that whole gubernatorial experience thing worked out real well with our current president didn't it? And he governed a state with 35 times the population that Alaska has.

Not saying that Palin is not competent. But I fundamentally disagree with the argument that just because someone held x position for x amount of years makes them qualified for another position. No, they need to have the specific skills, judgment, and intelligence for that position.

One thing that is disturbing about this pick is that McCain only met with Palin once or twice before picking her as VP. He basically selected the backup leader of the free world based on at most, two meetings. I wouldn't even date a woman exclusively after meeting them only twice. That just doesn't seem like a sound decision on his part.

In the next couple of weeks we'll get to see more of what Palin's about and she can either prove that she truly is the right person for the job or not.
