However, some people have got to look at the fact that McCain is damn near a dead man if he gets elected. I remember seeing pictures of Clinton and Bush before and after their presidency and seeing the accelerated aging that has taken place. All I can think is if you look at side by side before and after shots of Clinton and W. Bush and then do an artist representation of the after shot of McCain he'd draw a tomb stone. To be it seemed like one of the most important things McCain had to consider when he picked a VP was he needed to consider picking a successor. Palin's lack of experience is certainly fearful. It also undercuts McCain's argument that Obama is too young and inexperienced. It shows he has some faith in youthful enthusiasm. However, one key difference between Obama's inexperience and Palin's is that Obama had the ambition and foresight to try and use his "noobishness" as a pedestal to bring change, he sees it as an advantage. Palin herself said she didn't thing she was qualified to be VP before she was picked (couldn't find a video of the quote) and there is certainly something to be said for foresight.
In my mind, Romney (although I, like everyone else in my state, now hates the guy) was the perfect VP on paper. McCain needed help with the party's religious base and this was Romney's main base in the Primary. This is also something Obama was trying to steal away from McCain with the Biden pick (which he played up a lot during his DNC speech). The other place where McCain was lacking was in his Economy knowledge. He's getting killed by his own confessed money ignorance, and stating the economy is sound. Although Romney isn't the best economist out there, he certainly has experience dealing with green paper and budgets.
They say she is a opponent of the oil companies, but that is easily debunked. I mean she was just suing to stop Polar Bears from being an endangered species so they don't interfere with oil drilling. Thats a pretty serious slice of evidence to say that she is in their pocket. I personally don't buy it. You see, the thing is it doesn't really have anything to do with the animal, its that they suspect the Endangered Species Activists (animal activists not oil activists) MIGHT use it to stop oil drilling. If that is there only reason they have to not let them be considered endangered then they are basically endangered, they are just stopping the protective label. If the ESA does do this, and they aren't founded in doing so then they should make that case in court, not stop them from being protected elsewhere.

Lastly, I CAN'T WAIT for the VP debate. Biden will eat her alive.
