Sarah Palin - Governor of Alaska 4

Two days ago I had never heard of Sarah palin, so I'll forego any long pros or cons - I know as much or as little as anyone else who has commented.  I have only a couple of cemments:  First, it seems that a lot of the Democratic put-downs indicate a fear that just maybe she's the type of person who might be able to rip Joe Biden a new one in a one-on-one confrontation.  Second, as others have stated already, this business that the Dems are pushing of her being a "heartbeat away" from the Presidency and having no experience is clever in one way - subliminally, it sends a message that McCain is old and can go any minute.  Of course, it ignores the fact that the Dems are skipping a step completely and want to elect someone with no experience right off the bat, so I don't see where the lack of experience issue is hurting the McCain team.  It's still true that Obama has as little experience as he had before Palin was announced.  And for those who take pot shots at Palin because she was the mahyor of a town of 5,00 (or 9,00, or whatever), even leaving aside the fact that they ignore her time as governor, how many of them have ever been responsible for anything more than just themselves or their own family.  OK, one more thing to think about - if it is true that she has an 80% approval rating in Alaska, it's gotta mean that there are a lot of Democrats who think she's OK.  Have a nice day, whoever you're for.
