The unqualified

I found it amusing that the media continue to throw fits about the qualifications of Sarah Palin whilst she is promoting her book. Well, if she is unqualified, then Obama is even less qualified. His only experience of anything is promoting his political career, and he is in the #1 spot.

The choice of Palin was not to appeal to liberals , or to the media, it was to solidify the support from regular families in middle America for John McCain. Given the Bush factor overshadowing the election, McCain gambled and it failed.

The true farce is that the leader of the free world is a man with no experience of anything other than self promotion, who was lobbied for incessantly by the media. Could the Democrats really not come up with someone better than Jiminy Carter Mark II? Don't they remember how bad the first one was? We are still suffering today from that deluded administration.

Experience and qualifications do give pointers as to the candidates' ultimate actions. But the best indicators are actually their friends and the stated policies. That's what we should vote on.
