    If McCain was elected president and dies (even if the chances are low), would you want someone as inexperienced as Palin to be Pres?

    If that's your concern, why would you consider electing someone as inexperienced as Obama to the top spot, where he doesn't take over unless there's some horrible tragedy.

    If McCain lives to be 100, he'll be the more experienced PRESIDENT the next 4 or 8 years.

    Exactly Denny, Obama has no experience at all, and that's why he's not getting my vote. (even though I like Biden)

    Palin was a great choice for VP, she'll be the first woman for that position, and is pretty darn young.

    Just want to clear this up. Nobody "runs" for VP. The job is simply given to them.

    Makes sense. Gore didn't win anything, anytime. :)

    Right.

    Most of you guys have just heard of this woman and actually read about her in any great detail today. It was said earlier that McCain had only met her once before giving her that phone call. John McCain's camp did all the work on finding her and offering her a job.

    Denny, are you saying that Gore didn't win a US Senate Seat, House of Rep seat, or a Nobel Prize?

    Not after being the Democratic nominee for VP.

    And winning the Nobel Prize is a joke, sorry it's become one.

    I think she's been to Iraq more times than Obama. How's that grab you?

    Okay, I'm projecting here a bit, but I think you will agree.

    Because its a knee-jerk reaction. No one should ever make an important decision, with months to pour over it, with a knee-jerk reaction.

    Seriously, what's going to happen if you are patient? Is FOX news or CNN going to somehow mind control you and force you to make a bad decision if you wait? LOL.

    Sounds like they spent months on it and recommended a fine person.

    I can see where Obama supporters might be scared because of this move. So be it.

    You are saying that because they liked her for months, that means that you don't need to do any homework on your own, as a potential voter?

    Absolutely. I am watching FOX right now, and its all out verbal warfare.

    It is purely an intelligent strategic move, nothing more.

    Having no experience and running for president is bad. (<--- obama)
