remember the thread about McCain being a legal citizen? Well heres another little contraversy.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/13001

John McCain was aiming to make history with his pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and historians say he succeeded.

Presidential scholars say she appears to be the least experienced, least credentialed person to join a major-party ticket in the modern era.

So unconventional was McCain’s choice that it left students of the presidency literally “stunned,” in the words of Joel Goldstein, a St. Louis University law professor and scholar of the vice presidency. “Being governor of a small state for less than two years is not consistent with the normal criteria for determining who’s of presidential caliber,” said Goldstein.

“I think she is the most inexperienced person on a major party ticket in modern history,” said presidential historian Matthew Dallek.

That includes Spiro T. Agnew, Richard Nixon’s first vice president, who was ....con.

And being a 2 year Senator is not consistent with the normal criteria for determining who’s of presidential caliber (my words there) . . . but here we are.

Funny this was never bought up about BO. PAlims credentials are more solid than BO's perhaps the scholars are libs....

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."

A quick search of FEC records shows Joel Goldstein contributing to the likes of Obama, Kerry, Feingold,Gephardt. But I am sure that doesn't impair his judgement any.

I say, Thank God!!!

That means she has not been tainted by the Good ole Boys and Girls in Washington.

We need a fresh face who wasn't born with a golden spoon in their mouth and who remembers how to mow their lawn, wash dishes and clean their own toilet.

Go, Girl!
