This has to do with her "experience." This is the type of experience that is one heartbeat away from the presidency of the world's greatest superpower.
According to the Anchorage Daily News (Anchorage, AK) Palin was sworn in on December 5th 2006. That means that Palin has an overwhelming 1 year and roughly 220 days of experience as Governor of the 48th most populous state in the country with a whopping 627,000 people.
Dec. 5, 2006 - FAIRBANKS - The applause built for a full minute after Sarah Palin took the oath making her Alaska's new governor Monday. Then, from somewhere high in the seats of the Carlson Center sports arena, the chanting started: "Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!" "OK, the governor said cease and desist," said the event's emcee, Libby Riddles, quieting the crowd of thousands. Riddles was the first woman to win the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and it's no coincidence she was asked to host the swearing-in ceremony of the state's first female governor. "She was an underdog. She was a risk-taker, kind of an outsider," Palin said in describing Riddles, but also defining her own rise from a small-town mayor and Republican Party maverick to the state's top political job.Some facts about Alaska:
- Largest City is Anchorage with 260,000
- Second Largest City is Juneau with 31,000.
Palin is not qualified. Its flat out simple as that. McCain's choice is an outrage to the American people. We need not hide our contempt here. She doesn't measure up to the low Dan Quayle bar. She is not in Dan Quayle's league.
The utter outrage of this is that this person could actually end up as our President.
More information for comparison.
- Alaska has 627,000 people.
- There are 18 American cities with populations over 627,000.
- Columbus, Ohio has a population of 731,000.
- Austin, Texas has a population of 690,000.
- Jacksonville, Florida has a population of 783,000.
Were the mayors of any of these cities on the VP shortlist? Would we feel that the mayor of Columbus is qualified to be the Vice President and could then become President?

I disagree. She's every bit as qualified as BV$H. The truth is that too be a GOP candidate experience is not important since your going to be nothing more or less then a figure head anyway. The BIG CORPS are going to run the show. Sarah is perfect.
I agree with you, its beyond infuriating too.
