Here's a thought: Whenever a candidate comes up for LA Superior Court judge, the LA County Bar reviews his or her credentials: years in practice, trial experience, law school, reputation in the legal community, ethics, etc. Candidates are objectively rated either "qualified," or "not qualified." I believe that if Palin were rated in this manner, she would be "not qualified" to be president. And let's face it, she could be president on day 2.
This candidate is remarkable because she is so utterly unqualified by any objective criteria. And yet, there she is.
what differentiates her experience from Obama?
Mayor of a town of something like 6000 people and 22 months as governor of Alaska just ain't the same thing. The biggest heart in the world doesn't substitute for a few basic skills. Obama might be a little green, but Palin's not even a sprout.
She has more in common with me than she does Obama, and I'm not qualified to be president either.
