McCain picks Sarah Palin

Ahh... I love that I am able to post so vehemently but still keep my personal opinions shrouded.

They're both technically qualified, yet also not qualified. Like I said before, no one is really "ready to be president". But by that same regard, it puts everyone in the same boat, and thus, they're equally worthy on that ground alone. To be blunt, any person able to participate as a potential elective choice is equally "worthy". The only real qualification is to be a natural born US citizen of at least 35 years of age. Well, electability too, but I think it's pretty obvious that both McCain and Obama are viable possibilities.

But I guess I should make it clear anyway. I'm not in favor of either candidates, nor their running mates. I like arguing more than anything else. I think I mentioned it before, but my own views are most in line with Libertarianism. I don't like socialism on the left, I don't like authoritative and religious bullpumpernickel on the right.

Afrobean - that makes more sense because I think you've argued both that Obama is unqualified and that Palin is qualified, so it sounded a bit like you were a McCain partisan. Just liking to argue is fine though.

I also don't know if you like the Economist, but given your views I would think that you would. They are pretty pro-McCain in general, but they wrote this amazing take-down of Palin/McCain. It's here if you want to read it. (Maybe you have already; if that is the case I apologize.) They make a much better case against her than I ever could. Frank Rich wrote a similar article about her in the Times.
