The vice president is a heartbeat away from becoming president, so to choose someone with not one hour’s worth of experience on national issues is a dangerous choice.
If John McCain thought that choosing Sarah Palin would attract Hillary Clinton voters, he is badly mistaken.
The only similarity between her and Hillary Clinton is that they are both women. On the issues, they could not be further apart.
Sen. McCain had so many other options if he wanted to put a woman on his ticket, such as Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison or Sen. Olympia Snowe -– they would have been an appropriate choice compared to this dangerous choice.
In addition, Sarah Palin is under investigation by the Alaska state legislature, which makes this more incomprehensible

Could Boxer be any more catty?
No, none more catty.
Boxer is a sexist.
“The vice president is a heartbeat away from becoming president, so to choose someone with not one hour’s worth of experience on national issues is a dangerous choice.”
But chosing someone who will be president on day 1 who has had two years of not showing up to work to even deal with national issues he was paid to deal with is a safe choice, Ms. Boxer?
This from the same folks who gave us Michael Dukakis and The Stain®
ha ha ha ha ..
"The Democrats say Sarah Palin is inexperienced. Well, she is a first-term Governor. And Barack Obama is a first-term Senator. But he must be more experienced than she is, because he's a man."
Watch the Hillary votes fly.
Everytime they try to attack her supposed lack of credentials I'm going to laugh, because she has a hundred times more experience than the guy leading their ticket.
Our lightweight veep outweighs and outpunches their front-runner a hundred to one.
And, she has a birth certificate.
Barbara, this isn’t about Hillary voters. Please.
Just noticing how Obama’s sending out the women to do the dirty work....
Where’s Nancy?
This is divisive politics at it’s worst!
Catty, yes, but mostly fearful.
This might be a ticket that turns California red.
Barbara Boxhead, OH, move along, nothing to see here! LOL
Talk about sour grapes. Boxer will fade away into obscurity in time. Palin, once elected will make history!
So, going by what she says in this article, Senator Boxer would truly be HAPPY, if either Senator Snowe or Senator Hutchison truly ended up as McCain’s VP pick. Yea, right!
Vinny Gambini
...So, let’s see if I get this? Palin’s executive experience doesn’t count...but Obama’s total lack of executive experience doesn’t matter?
Palin has no experience in interational affairs (true)...and Barry’s experience is that of a rock star visiting Europe and the Middle East.
Which outweighs? I’ll take the bright young person with executive experience every time.
It’s like they are expecting McCain to die any day now. Two years from now, with VP experience under her belt, Palin will be eminently more qualified than Obama is now. Boxer doesn’t think McCain will make it through two years?
The Obama campaign is going to have as many Democrat women as possible taking whacks at Palin. Fortunately, they appear to have underestimated the lady, whose nickname is “Sarah Barracuda” for playing a championship basketball game with a stress fracture.
so now Sarah Palin’s experience on national issues (such as energy, environment, and running a state) is “less than one hour”
Babs, your hysteria is palpable
Now, who will Geraldine Ferraro vote for...the Obamination machine who tried to “black”ball her as a racist, or McCain/Palin...hmmm
Just another barking buttocks from outside the realm of reasonableness.
Lets analyze this for Nancy.
Sarah Palin has more useful experience than Barack Hussein Obama, and she is at the BOTTOM of our ticket.
Sorry Nancy, your party is going back to the dustbin of history in November.
Glad she finally came to the realization that neither Bill Clinton nor Jimmy carter were unqualified to be president...
Who has more experience? Barack Obama or Sarah Palin?
Oil’s not a national issue? That’s one of Palin’s biggest areas of expertise.
Furthermore, oil is essentially going to be the basis of our foreign policy for some time to come, and she has already had an abundance of experience in dealing with the various interests (including foreign) involved in this.
“International experience” does not mean attending embassy cocktail parties, and “national experience” does not mean engaging in partisan politics in DC.
not to mention the master peanut farmer from Plains with all his experience as a 3 yr governor
All this gnashing of teeth and hair pulling by the Democrats shows they know they hitched their horse to the messiah who can't.
What I found down-right TERRIFYING is that Nancy Pelosi is TWO heartbeats away from the Presidency! *SHIVVER* *SHUDDER*
That said, I am absolutely thrilled from head to toe with this VP pick! :)
I’m working on the McCain campaign here in Cow Town, Wisconsin, (phone banks, mailing literature, putting up yard signs, etc.) and stopped by HQs to hear the announcement this morning with other McCainiacs.
We were through the ROOF, cheering, jumping, screaming, when the announcement was made this morning.
Wa-Hoooooooooo!! I hope I get the chance to meet her and shake her hand. :)
If Palin has experience in oil (which she does), she has experience in international affairs.
compared to HilLIARy Palin:
Has never had to help cover up her husbands rapes
has never had to lie to congressional investigators about her whitewater involvement
rose law firm billing records never ended up in her residence
never had her secretary rifle through Vince Foster's desk
never proposed a ridiculous government takeover of health care that was so laughable even her own democraps could not vote for it
is not a closet Marxist
does not have numerous ‘friends’ that met mysterious deaths which have come to be known as ‘arkancides’
oh.. there is so much more... but my fingers are getting tired.. anyone else?
Boxer is a Bitch! there I said it!
...don’t forget B. Hussein’s trips to Africa to meddle in Kenyan presidential politics on behalf of his tribe (Luo). That counts as “experience”, doesn’t it?
Sarah Palin has more brains in her pinky than that stupid loudmouth yenta Boxer.
She is quite a dynamic speaker, intellect, and unique personality ... a welcome change from the limitations of, say, a Barbara Boxer type for example.
Considering governors are the US’s favorite pick for Presidents it does not seem to have had a general ill effect on the country.
Now specifically I can think of a case where the Senetor could have a point. Specifically the infamous President Carter. The man had not a lick of experience on national issues and set out to prove that he was the exception to the general rule.
It doesn’t matter who McCain picked....Democrats would’ve torn down even jesus Christ if McCain picked him...
To the democrats, it’s political power over what’s right or wrong...political power over integrity, political power over decency....political power over the needs of anyone other than their “precious” political party...
Democrats are shamelessly hypocritical and proud of it...
Just another barking buttocks from outside the realm of reasonableness.
And Nancy P. being only two heartbeats away from the presidency is less dangerous?
Well, let’s search the old memory bank. The last President that we had from Barbara Boxer’s State of California had not a minutes worth of experience on national issues - just a West Coast governor and a union member.
His name was Ronald Reagan.
We are Ex- “NOW” members, we are EX- Democrats and we are supporting John McCain and we are thrilled with his choice of Sarah Palin ... W E C O U L D NOT BE HAPPIER !!!!!
Thanks Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Obama, MSNBC, Oprah,
you all created us with your undemocratic machinations — may you all rot and end up with no party and no job.
There will be lots of Hillary supporters voting for McCain/Palin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As boxing analyst and famous trainer Teddy Atlas might describe it "He paints them into a corner and then takes advantage".
The House banking scandal broke in early 1992 when it was revealed that the United States House of Representatives allowed members to overdraw their House checking accounts, but were not being penalized by the House Bank (actually a clearinghouse).
Nineteen of twenty two serious offenders were DemoRats, and DemoRat Boxer bounced 144 checks without penalty on the taxpayer's dime.
She truly IS an authority on experience,.....criminal experience.

Obama has had ZERO executive experience.
So is she saying every Governor that has been POTUS is incapable of being POTUS? Clinton, Carter, etc...
LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
Bad attack Barbara! What about BO's experience? A big O! Sarah has much more experience than BO. LOL! Keep going Barbara! What an idiot.
Hee hee! They’re stepping right into the trap. I feel like I’ve started a brilliant gambit, and my opponent is not showing any signs of grasping my plan....
You know the demwits still haven’t been able to tell us what Obama has accomplished in his life, other than being fasttracked through via the Affirmative Action Express.
No, I disagree. If McCain had chosen a non-frightening lightweight, they wouldn't be screaming like this. The volume, venom, and quickness of the response proves that McCain made a choice that terrifies the Democrats. They see the writing on the wall now; their Messiah has been tried and found wanting. They're going to lose, and lose big.
You can see it in their eyes when their pride vanished.
