I honestly do not know what to say. I have absolutely no idea how to respond to this because the logic of his statement is absolutely, completely absurd. The McCain campaign is correct, it is nothing but circular logic. This is almost the same as saying that you are qualified for the friggin' job just because you applied for it!

I suppose this also means that I could claim enough experience to be the President of the United States just as long as I had $100 million, hired 2,500 employees and just ran for the job.

And then, to make it even more idiotic, he frames it in the context of her time as mayor. Uh, Barack...that was 6 YEARS ago. Since that time, she has been Chairman of the Alaskan Oil and Gas Commission. And oh yeah, there's that whole governor thing, where she has been in charge of about 10 times as many employees as he has.

Amazing, absolutely unbelievable. And even more unbelievable? We'll have people in here defending it. If I were McCain, I'd be running it as a campaign ad tomorrow.

Well to me McCain pick of Gov.Palin was the final stroke, his jas lost his way from the time of the Straight Talk Express and has left the likes that completely destroy him and drag his name through the mud in 2000 run his campaign. He has put his political ambitions first rather than his country.

Im was leaning to vote for Obama because of Bush, I'm in the military, Im tired of war that have no direction, no leadership, no end. I was willing to give my vote to McCain but when he started ranting about Iran it definately got my attention, then he kept up the rhetoric against Iran while Obama talks diplomacy. The McCain ranted about Russia... what does he wants a war in two fronts against Russia and Iran? Thats where judgement comes into play in my opinion.

A funny thought if we go to war with Russia and Iran... how we going to fill up our jets and our tanks?

Anyways... back on track... Gov. Palin.... and lets use some common sense here... McCain is old, there is no other way to put it...O-L-D he can take office on Monday and probably (God forbid) die the next day. I can not consciously vote for such a ticket. On the other hand Obama is going to have smart people surrounding him, Collin Powell name is high on the list, Bill Richardson, Hillary is definately going to be there either as a senator or some other cabinet appointment. Biden and his gaffes aside is a smart statesmen that if something happens to Obama he would be more than qualified to step in given the current choices that I see.

To me is kind of like a win win situation, even if McCain gets elected he might go back to be the McCain of old, the one I used to like, the reformer and straight talker, but with all this pandering and lack of judgement that he has shown of late I dont see how can I vote for him.

EDIT TO ADD: I think this race is going to be decided as soon as the candidates start announcing their picks for the cabinet positions.
