You are right that she is totally inexperienced. Any criticism of her will be turned into an allegation of misogyny.

Palin has civic and, now, after 18 months as governor, executive experience at the state level. Setting aside policy for a moment, Palin is just too darned green for any federal office, let alone the vice presidency.NABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385737206388719961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619321320076553248.post-4433888868287554072008-08-30T01:13:00.000-04:002008-08-30T01:13:00.000-04:00hello! ben! i thought you said you didn't want y...hello! ben! i thought you said you didn't want your blog to be political! i want to write about my experience last night seeing obama at invesco (and my bike ride home)!!! can i? can i? can i?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619321320076553248.post-50328119068068098452008-08-29T15:16:00.000-04:002008-08-29T15:16:00.000-04:00You're so right!

It's so sad that so many Americans will cast their vote based on the candidates gender,race, religion or any other single issue of little importance. Voting based on policies and values just requires too much time to educate oneself and so many Americans are sheep. Mindless sheep at that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
