This is ridiculous. How can anyone believe that Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice president and quite possibly president? Have we so completely blurred the line between the ‘reality’ that appears on television and the reality we live in that people no longer know the difference? If so, then I guess I can quit my day job, buy some scrubs and a lab coat, go down to the hospital and start doing brain surgery. The pay will be a lot better and probably the hours too. Not qualified? Heck, I’ll get better with practice and some coaching. I’m a quick study.
She can’t answer questions like “What newspapers or magazines do you read?” C’mon folks. This is not “gotcha” journalism. This is not a trick question dreamed up by Katie to make Sarah Palin look stupid. We have the right and obligation to know about anyone running for high office. But apparently in the case of Sarah Palin, unscripted interviews are too dangerous so there won’t be any more. Just have to trust that she’s ready to take care of anything that might come up.
Sorry, Senator McCain. Your claim to be looking out for America went right out the window and off the planet when you picked Sarah. But give her credit: she may not be qualified to be vice president, but she’s plainly ambitious enough to want a higher office. Why else would she refer to the “Palin/McCain” ticket?
Good grief.
And a final thought. One sign of intelligence is to know when to say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Which is what most people would say if offered a job for which they were totally unqualified. But not Sarah Palin. I believe she “didn’t even blink” when offered the chance.
Clear case of hubris. Seems like we’ve seen this play before and it didn’t turn out so well.

I totally agree with you. I live in Westchester, NY but I am traveling to Lehigh Valley, Pa on Saturdays to work for Obama. NY will go for Obama but PA is a real battle groung. I cannot bear the though of "that woman" representing our country to world leaders.
