Scholars question Palin credentials

John McCain was aiming to make history with his pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and historians say he succeeded.

Presidential scholars say she appears to be the least experienced, least credentialed person to join a major-party ticket in the modern era.

apparently they are counting Barack’s affirmative action years in the Ivy League as credentials

Have they commented on whether he is the only Harvard law Review editor to not ever publish?

What exactly is a community organizer?

When a community organizer goes to work where does he go?
What does he do when he gets to work?
How does he know when his job is finished?

Obama writes in his own book that when he was a community organizer that he didn’t get anything done. He complains again and again about running into brick walls.
Is that what a community organizer does? They run into walls for a living?

Where is the want ad for the position of community organizer?
What are the skills that one must have to organize at the community level?

Can a community organizer be fired?
Do community organizers even get paid?

Is there any annual/periodical evaluation for an organizer from a superior? Do community organizers even have superiors?

Is this a made up job to explain years of unemployement?

Now about the community:

What makes liberal communities so pathetic that they need professional organization?

Why do Chicago residents sit on their hands waiting for the day to come when a skilled organizer will come in and organize them?

What was the disorder in the community that was corrected by their self appointed organizer?

Many have recently mad a big deal over the population size of Alaska. Ok. To them I ask, how big is the community that Obama organized?

Do we have any letter of reference from a community member that will help us understand how Obama organized them? Something like “my community was disorderly until Obama organized it.”

Is there an after action evaluation that shows what went well with the organization efforts, what stayed the same, what needs to be improved?

Is there any basic principle of project management that can be applied to Obama’s great claim to have organized a community?

You’re right! Even if people aren’t interested in what these moronic, leftwing “scholars” have to say, it’s worth the click to see what happens when McCain Strikes Back! Yee haw!

Liberals telling us just what a "bad pick" it was! Oh my gosh, if the McCain-Palin ticket gets elected, the Republic is doooomed! I'm quite sure it will survive, though.

What a disgusting joke. Obama has almost nothing on his resume that is noteworthy and the number of “present” votes he has given demonstrates an absolute lack of leadership.

Am I the only one who feels like I am stuck in the twilight zone?

This lady did more in months as Governor than Obama has done in his entire life.

Why because she's not a friggin ivy league lawyer? Because she's not a well connected Washington stooge?

I'll take a man OR a woman with her credentials and life experiences, any day.

I smell fear!

And they just keep on ignoring the credentials of the guy who IS running for POTUS and attacking someone who is more qualified who MIGHT be president.

The MSM is trying to define Sarah Palin to the voters. They believe that if they can say “She is unqualified” enough the words will take hold in the American conscience. This would force the GOP to spend the next 60 days trying to defend her rather than attack.

It is vital that we do all we can to help moderates understand who Sarah Palin is and why she is worlds better than the Democratic ticket.
