I do not believe that his opinion is personally attacking the character and background of Governor Palin, but pointing out some flaws in the Republican's previous argument against Obama. He even stated that he did not know much about Palin and her short lived experience as Governor. There was obviously some strategery on the part of McCain and his advisers. Hopefully people can understand and evaluate this election at their own level and make an informed political decision instead of being spoon fed information from either party and relying on emotions to cast their ballot.

It does show that McCain is willing to listen to younger, different opinions and give them a chance. Obama has shown that he is nothing more than the same old good ole boys club of old. His choice for VP isn't about change, but about same old liberal party politics.
Now, if you resort to the 'heart beat away' fear cry, I would rather have a down to Earth Alaskan as President, than a Ivy league priviledged fast talker. "

And let's not forget her being mayor of a booming metropolis of 9,000 before that. You're right, she's ready to lead the USA. This nothing but a neo-con talking point.

Well, she at least has executive experience which is more than Obama. She also has experience in stoping government waste (the bridge to now where). Obama has talk of change.
Palin will satiate most of strong willed, independent conservatives in the Republican party, because of her strong conservative values. Palin will also bring over a few of the PUMAS's who see Obama as a sexist for shunning Hillary.
Lastly, the announcement today will steal Obama's coronation thunder. Already the main news is about Palin and not Obama. "

It's disingenuous for Republicans to belittle Obama's experience given Palin's six weeks or so in high office.
This pick will probably win McBush the election; it's wedge politics at its most Machiavellian. And, McCain, at 73, probably won't finish his first term. The inexperienced Palin will become first woman president during a period of extreme economic and international instability.
What matters when casting your vote? Republicans want to give the global ultra-rich complete dominance over the nation and even the world.
