Not to offend any one, but I find this opinion, which is shared by many, to be odd. I fail to see how any one could be so frightened of Palin taking office when they support Obama.

Compare the two, Obama a three year senator who has spent the last year running for office compared to Palin, a women who has managed a large family, her own business, was a mayor and is now Governor of one of our largest energy producing states; Alaska. I think Palin is far more qualified to run our nation than Obama. Sure she isn't up to speed on all aspects of foreign policy and what not, but lets face it, she was and is up to speed on her job as Governor of Alaska and I am sure given the potential for a job change, will get up to speed on national and international issues within an acceptable amount of time.

This argument that Palin is somehow stupid because she is a down to earth friendly and likable women, who just so happens to be Governor of Alaska, is rubbish. She is not Tina Fey, nor is she Dan Quayle. And those who have been trying to say that she is are little more than paid hit men assigned to damage her reputation and convince Americans of a lie. A lie that none of us should be swallowing at any level. You don't get to become a governor unless you have the skills to lead and govern and do them well.

There is absolutely no doubt that Sarah Palin is far more qualified to run our nation than Senator Obama. Sure she's less qualified when compared to Biden or McCain but certainly more qualified that Obama.

In fact Obama shouldn't even be in consideration for this job, a VP position sure, but not the top Job in the land. That honor should have gone to Joe Biden.
