I think Sarah Palin just needs more experience and has to do more "homework". So she might be a far better politician. But at her current state she really would have been a bad vice president.
It's a bit hard to imagine a worse VP than one who would disclose to the press his bomb-proof safe room.
Then again, Palin has more executive experience than our current president.
It's kinda' hard to justify shoving a stimulus package up everyone's butts with the rationale that it had to be done to keep a lid on unemployment at 8% and turn around six months later and promise double digit unemployment because you "guessed" wrong.
You're right, experience counts for something.
The presidency is no place for interns ... well, there is that whole blue dress thing.
Perhaps Obama will yet get it right on Iran?
