Subject: RE: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
I believe, Donuel, that Palin is a one term governor. Could be wrong, but I was wrong one other time too. Even with only one term, though, she has more executive experience than Obama.

As to the "experience issue," she will be occupying the position of VP, not president. That will allow her to have on the job training in the areas where she has little or no experience such as foreign affairs. Obama is woefully lacking in foreign affairs and would have no time for OJT. THe "buck" were there one would stop at his desk immediately upon being sworn in as president. Well, he has Biden to lean on you say? One of the major complaints liberals have about Bush is he relied too much on his VP, particularly on issues of defense. Biden would be the next batter up, not the batter in the box.

I think McCain made a good choice.
