Quotes should be attributed to a source, I only noticed it cuz I've never seen it not done before..........the anti intellectual fad that has been in vogue on the right is a head shaker.It's almost like a Harvard degee is to be mocked, and politicians with zero experience, or little education are in.I've done ok without a degree, but I respect education. If I'm boarding a plane,I want a qualified pilot.............Palin has appeal to a very small segment of the voting public, her bark is bigger than her bite country wide.

The Col: lol...unless your on an airbus...you'll be wanting a qualified mechanic! as far as Palin....over half those she supported were elected(36 out of 52 I think) how'd yomama do? to me thats a pretty good bite.

Bwild: Like I said, it would be foolish to underestimate Sarah Palin. She is a lot smarter than people give her credit for. If she has a weakness in politics, it is her lack of experience in foreign policy and running an economy on a national scale. If she can convince the public that she has qualities that overcome her lack of experience, then she will be a serious threat to Obama. However, if she fails to do that, she will lose the election. I think it is why Obama has to chose Hilary Clinton as his running mate. Another factor will also be who becomes Sarah Palin's running mate. She has to chose somebody that makes her look good in the voter's eyes.

Artful Dodger:
> Yeah, like Obama.
Let's see. Obama ... Harvard Law School... Juris Doctor magna cum laude... Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School ... As senator, member of the Foreign Relations Committee, Veterans Affairs Committee, Chairman of the European Affairs Subcommittee ... As member of the Foreign Relations Committee he made official diplomatic trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Eastern and Central Asia, and Africa.
I suppose all those things don't count at all since he did them all BEFORE becoming president.

Artful Dodger: Palin has no real experiance.. when asked, a senior Republican from Alaska (after pausing) could only come up with two reasons why Palin should run for VP..... one of them was that she was the right age!!
Subiectul: Re: and politicians with zero experience, or little education are in.
Artful Dodger:
> He had very limited political experience. So no, that stuff doesn't count.
I suppose 7 years as state senator and 3 years as US senator does not count. But then, nothing Obama could do is right or good. To admit that Obama could have any redeeming qualities is next to impossible.

Artful Dodger: You don't really care that Palin who is (as it appears) is going for being the next President of the USA, and that she is as about as qualified for the job as a monkey is to run a nuclear reactor!!

Many Republicans are talking about returning to their conservative roots. Palin would make a great President. Obama will ruin the economy and put us into so much debt I'll be long dead and we'll sill be paying back from his reckless spending. Reply (box)
************************* Do I understand you now that you think Palin is crap as a potential VP or President???
