Re: Sarah Palin?
Obama hasn't even finished a term as a Illinois state senator and IF elected won't finish a term as US Senator. How much good has he done the state of Illinois, especially now that he has been campaigning? I would have more respect for him in 4 years if he actually finished a job that he started. I also have a friend who went to high school with Barack Obama and the man is far from humble. Aside from the fact that I disagree with him, I am having a hard time voting for someone with an ego problem- flying around in a jet called "O-Force One" with "The President" on his seat.
As a side note---- I am very undecided between Bob Barr and McCain. I will not be voting for Obama simply because I think the free market society and capitalism works, and if he is elected he would take that away and implement communist and socialist values, not to mention I disagree with him on so many levels. I am a registered independent, and not "loyal" to any party, tend to lean more Libertarian than anything.
All politics aside, how cool is that a woman is on a ticket?!
A little bit more about Sarah Palin- the previous governor of Alaska bought a private jet, when she got into office, she auctioned the jet and took the 2.1 million proceeds and appropriated them to the state of Alaska. She pushed for an ethics bill and shelved pork barrel projects. She ended a bridge project based on the premise that Alaska should be self-sufficient and instead of relying on the federal government. Palin also appointed independents and dems for positions on her staff. As Mayor, she campaigned on cutting property taxes and did so successfully as much as 60%.
About the experience thing- Obama can't say he has any more experience, plus he picked a veep that is a Washington insider and has been in politics for 30 years, something that Obama said he wouldn't be your typical politician, wouldn't pander to special interest or Washington insiders. Goes to show he is no different than any of the slime "working" for our country in DC.
I think the Dems should think out their response strategy very carefully. This is a legitimate point: she's got executive branch experience as Gov but has no international experience. This would be a good ground to attack her on. BUT, how do you walk that line when your Pres candidate is a one-term US Sen? You could make the argument that he has more experience given his State legislature position, but that seems comparatively weak. You can point out his trips overseas as a Sen and a candidate--but these aren't really "foreign policy" experience (especially when compare to Biden). So how do you undercut her on the experience issue without simultaneously undercutting your own Pres candidate? It will be a hard line to walk.
They might do better by attacking her substantive differences: she's a big Second Amendment proponent and very pro-life. She's a conservative. If she were Pres, her policies and judicial appointments would reflect that. Maybe the Dems should play that angle: regardless of how much experience she does/doesn't have, her principles aren't what we, as liberals, are looking for.

That would be a positive point. She doesn't have two sisters does she? And a cop friend? Her husband's name isn't Cole, right? *sigh* I need to get out my Charmed DVDs again.
