That middle America embraces her so unquestioningly-- well, frankly, it depresses me and it frightens me. I've been watching Morning Joe the last couple of mornings. (I've been impressed and think that I will continue to do so.) This morning they showed a poll taken in Ohio asking with which candidate people most identify. Palin got 31%, Biden, 13%, McCain and Obama were in the middle. Identification with a candidate and assessing the qualifications of a candidate are quite different approaches with quite different results.

I think we will just have to agree to disagree. I am not afraid of Palin's experience, or lack of it. I AM afraid of Obama. He has little experience, despite the hype that forms up around him AND: 1. He wants to raise taxes. Forget the smokescreens that he throws up to throw us off about raising taxes just on rich people. He wants to raise capital gains, death taxes, and others. 2. He is willing to negotiate with terrorists or those who harbor terrorists. He has no experience with these people, and he thinks they will respond to reason. They don't. 3. He wants to severely damage the Second Amendment, despite what he says to the contrary. He picked Biden for VP, a long time and well-known anti-Second Amendment force. 4. He says he wants change we can believe in. I believe he will make changes, changes that I do not want. 5. He says he wants to overturn the established powers in Washington. Then he picks Biden for VP, an entrenched professional politician. 6. He and Biden are both lawyers. Their opponents are not. 7. Neither Biden nor Obama have much real world experience. Their experience is all academic or political. I can see this debate is going to be endless, so my intent is to refer back to this post for other posts I see in my inbox.
