If he were just a few months older it wouldn't bother me so much but IMO she's jeopordizing his health and well being at this stage in his young life.

There are many things I admire about Governor Palin and I do think she's a breath of fresh air. But, she will also be, as another poster said yesterday, half a heart beat away from the oval office and that scares the holy heck out of me.

IMO Senator McCain has "played" us all -- those of you who support her are, in many cases, the same people who railed against Senator Obama's lack of experience but now celebrate Governor Palin's selection for that very reason. Those of us on the other side who wanted more diversity are stymied because he selected a VP with little experience but the right plumbing. Now we're left to argue about which ticket has the least amount or the right kind of experience/inexperience.
