>>> Actually i wish they had picked laura inghram That's the liberal philosophy. It doesn't matter that these people have no experience, whatsoever, in this line of work. Just like Obama. This is the most gullible electorate I've ever seen. Obviously, Palin is not as well-studied as Obama is today -- she does, however, have a track record and more pertinent experience than does Obama. And Obama has to perform the day he enters the office, while it is highly unlikely (although possible) that Palin would. Palin is where Obama was a few months ago on some of these topics. OTOH, Palin has experience that Obama simply doesn't have. He is out of touch with the mainstream, which she does not seem to be -- while she is center-right, he is extreme left. The reason Obama has hidden his true opinions from the public is that there is no way in hell they would elect him if they KNEW how extreme he is. Palin, if elected, will be able to gain knowledge over a few months, just as Obama has. In the highly unlikely event she becomes president soon after election, she would have a moderate infrastructure in place while Obama will be floundering trying to bring an extremist socialist agenda into alignment with something the country can tolerate. While I like Palin and I'm open-minded to what happens tonight, the reality is that the country is better off with a moderate as vice president than an extremist as president.
