A delightful ambiguity

McCain aide Meg Stapleton was also playing up Palin's "Joe Six-Pack" attributes, even arguing that Palin's "experience as an ordinary American" qualified her to be "one heartbeat away" from the Oval Office ... "God forbid."
Okay if Palin fails IQ test: McCain camp

The truth is that we will either have a President in training or a Vice President in training. Which do you prefer?

None of them have ever been president or vice president, so any of them will be in training for either position.

Yes but Palin has more experience then Obama.

Oh, I didn't know we were talking about campaigning.

To the first anonymous:

Palin has experience in a small, isolated part of the US, and doesn't appear to have much going for her outside of her big fish, small pond mentality. And she has proven corrupt throughout her roles in governmental office.

Obama is a constitutional lawyer, who actually appears to think about things, and is someone I can see doing especially well in the areas of diplomacy (which as a non-American is important to me, after the last 8 years of global US cluster-fucking), and strikes me as the kind of man who has both heart and mind and is not just out for his grubby little self. He strikes me as a man of integrity, intelligence, knowledge, and understanding. Or at least he displays far more of these qualities than his vacuous and self-serving opponents.

I hope he wins. McCain and Palin will be a disaster, and not just for the US.
