what are you thinking?

I believe Sarah Palin is sincere in her belief that she can be VP, however, I feel she is woefully UNDERqualified.  I don't know about the rest of the country, but I want my elected officials to be AT LEAST as smart as I am.  She just doesn't have the world view, the education, or the experience.  At least Obama, as a former constitutional law professor at the U of C, has at least READ the constitution.  Her response to Gwen Ifill's question about Cheney's perspective of the role of the VP was, frankly, very frightening.  The woman has no concept of the checks and balances of powers.

This is not the right person to be the 2nd in command.  And it's not because she's a woman... it's because she's just not qualified.

Anyone who plans to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket needs to re-think that choice.

And I'm very disappointed with the Republican Party.  I understand the strategy of selecting a woman as a VP candidate, especially when Obama didn't select Clinton (a tactical mistake, in my opinion) but please tell me that the Republican Party has more depth of talent than this.  Is Sarah Palin really the best they can do for a female candidate?  That's frightening all by itself.
