Not enough experience for Vice President?
One clear message she brings to the ticket on the Republican side... she is a person outside the Washington Beltway and a Reformer, which clearly makes John McCain's selection interesting.
Discussing the Vice Presidential candidates without talking about the Ticket as a whole, seems a little silly, especially, when you consider the experience of a forty-fourth Vice President of the United States of America.

Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin for GOP's John McCain's Running Mate
Republican Presidential candidate John McCain selects Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Welcome to the national stage Mrs. Palin.
We look forward to learning more about you and how a McCain-Palin ticket can help move the United States of America forward in public policy globally.
From one forty-four year old to another, it will be interesting to discuss various issues, including the following:
- Energy Policy
- Environmental Policy
- Government Reform
- States Rights
- The Economy
I always prefer a Governor for the office of the president, so when names were thrown out as candidates for both president and vice president this year. Mrs. Palin's got my attention as a candidate for vice president. We certainly have had Vice Presidents before in my lifetime with less of a resume.
A women, a reformer in her state, a mother of a son who serves her nation in our armed forces and a person with executive experience as a Governor; it will be interesting to learn more about John McCain's choice as his running mate.

Mr. Obama picks Deleware Senator Joe Biden for VP
Barack Obama won the Iowa Caucuses, despite Biden and fellow Senator Chris Dodd having the upper hand on experience in Washington DC. But, Mr. Obama overcame Senator Hillary Clinton, Biden, Dodd and all others.
Personally, on the basis of experience, it would appear the ticket is mixed up, it should be Biden-Obama. I would say 18 million Democrats feel it should have been Clinton-Obama, as well. So, it will be two senators on the Democrat ticket in 2008.
Next Up - The Democrat National Convention in Denver, Colorado, beginning Monday. Stay tuned!
