She’s more qualified for an executive position than the top of the other ticket.
Really?
She is Governor of the fourth lowest populated state in the nation. How does this make her more qualified than a Senator?
Edited to directly address the semantics of your statement.
The Presidency of the USA is much more than an “executive position”. Although, it can be argued that our standing in the world has slipped in the past decade, we are still one of the most powerful nations on the planet.
Personally, I don’t want someone who reads from note cards, and who obviously studied up on world affairs for the debate like she was cramming for a college exam, one step away from BEING PRESIDENT.
She was chosen by McCain for the assumed value of bringing a woman onto the ticket to appear as progressive as the Dems and to possibly get the votes from those who would vote for Hillary JUST BECAUSE she is a woman.
She was chosen because she is a woman with no visible warts on her record. That there are none on her face doesn’t hurt, at all.
She is unqualified for the Presidency.
Obama may be inexperienced in an “executive’ role, but he has been in Washington and has served with distinction and knows a LOT more about what’s going on in the world than she does.
That is what matters. A President on the world stage who can improv. Not someone who just reads their lines.
