Yikes. More competent than McCain? I'm not seeing it. Much as I disagree with McCain, he has managed to stick around through ethics flaps, and time, and he has accomplished things on the national stage. I'm really not sure what Ms. Palin has accomplished- obviously there are the kids, and the 2nd place in the beauty pageant, the journalism degree, the mayor of a small town, and for a very short time the governor of Alaska- now embroiled in an ethics flap and already (possibly) she has misstated her position on the bridge. She did defeat two other republicans, and she's suing the feds about polar bears- but more competent than McCain? Unless you think McCain's choice of Palin means that he has lost his mind. I'd have to think about that...

But if Palin was competent she would have declined- for the good of the country. Country First- ought to mean we are getting the best. This is the best the reps can do? I don't think so.

Palin seems very competent at what she has done, albeit with some bumps and lumps on the way. But it's the range of what she has done that doesn't add up for a VP slot.
