And Palin actually has executive experience, Obama is going in cold. He's used to giving speeches and voting on things (sometimes). Palin has been a decision maker. If anyone is worried about Palin's experience if McCain dies they should consider that McCain isn't going to die the first day. Palin will have an opportunity to learn. Obama doesn't have that opportunity.
Well said,

One of the girls that works for me shared this story and I think its fitting.

At a wedding over the weekend they had an Obama die hard bad mouthing the GOP and McCain. This girl just graduated with her masters in education and was applying to be a school teacher in her home town in IA.

One of the guys asked her how the job hunt was coming and what type of job she wanted. She said 1st or 2nd grade to start so she could get her feet wet and that she hadnt had any offers yet.

He then asked her, why not apply for the principle position?

She said, because I dont have the experience yet.

He said, well neither does Obama but you are voting for him.........

I'm not saying Obama is the answer but we are going to vote a guy into office that has one foot in the grave already!!!! Then what do we get if he croaks??? Sarah Palin...who in the h** is she??? She's the governor of Alaska??? Uhhh.what goes on there??? We are just scr**** any way you look at it!!!!
Just my two cents worth!!!!
Brad
Alot of people say Obama will die in office too, but I dont think that will dissuade any of his voters. Hell, Kennedy was young, but he wasn't in for too long. I dont vote according to age.

I dont just vote for a person, I vote along moral and ethical and constitutional lines as well.

The simple fact is Governers, Senators, and Representives get paid for one thing. To make Desicions, when any of these individuals dont and happen to vote "Present" even once they are not doing the job they were elected to do. and to do it 130 times is a tradgidy that the people he represented were not even spoken for on those issues.

Even worse is the fact that Present is an option in Illinios when voting. its something that needs to taken away.

Age has little to do with it. Look at the Gipper! he was 69 and people though his age would come into question and it didnt.

Calm down....he wasnt making a PERSONAL attack against your grandfather or even an attack at all. It was simply an analogy that 72 isnt that old.
