And, if you are so concerned that Palin will be a mere heartbeat away from the presidency; aren't you more concerned that Obama, who at best is equally as experienced as Palin, will actually be the president???

Will Biden's presence give him the grounding in experience he needs..? Sounds like the “Cheney is really running the White House and Bush is his puppet” meme that weve heard the Democrats wringing their hands about for the last 8 years. Besides, Joey B. doesn't have such a prescient record on foreign policy decisions, when viewed in hindsight.

And as far as the “Obama was elected so the people<trust him meme? Face it, Obama was selected not elected. The super delegates in the Democratic party fell for the same old African American intimidation routine…

In any case, your whole inexperience argument makes you either hypocritical, disingenuous, or simply a daft hyper-partisan…

I like it when you're opposing wingnuts, as well as the religious fanatics.

Though I have to admit that my admiration for the Tokugawa shogunate grows daily.

I think Mr. Krauthammer has the best take on this given that he was first to use the term “Bush doctrine”.
