I would rather have someone who had a little experience as governor than someone who had a little experience in congress.

 

Governor of what... Alaska. That worthless state in the Union. No offense to those that live there but that isn't expereience. I'm not saying Obama has an upperhand on experience but he does have more than Palin does. REally it should be Joe Biden going for president than Obama but unfortunately there are other things that stopped this.

Point being Palin has nothing to contribute whatsoever other than up tempo attitude. Otherwise she's not fit to do anything other than run the biggest empty lot in the world.

yea, and Obama has been the senator of IL.... he was there for 1 year before he announced his intention to run. The only thing that would make him better than Palin would be YOUR perception. Which has most likely been given to you by the media outlets. Because the only 2 times she was on unfiltured she was dynamic. Now, I do not believe she is ready to be Prez, but I don't think she thinks she is either... But... Obama does. To me that is scary. And yes I would be more likely to vote for Biden. Don't get me wrong, I love Palin as VP, VP is a very small position (especially if you take Bidens viewpoint), McCain will not die anytime soon, and give her a few years she might be ready. Not now of course.

You people sound just like Margret Thatchers opponents back in the day... irony?

 

Haha its cute that you think I like Obama but I'll let it slide.  I personally don't like Obama, McCain, or Palin.  Only one I could really like is Biden because out of all them he is the best candidate to actually run this country.  But given circumstances that won't happen.  Out of all of them, Palin is the least capable, and if you want to take the risk of that happening that's fine with me but you will end up being wrong about her because she can't handle it.  I don't evne need to make that an opinionated statement.  You best hope McCain is in good health or we are all in for a ride into hell.

Nothing wrong with a little confidence.  It's cockiness which is the problem.  I don't want a president saying hey I'm learning and soon I'll be good.  I won't one that'll say hey I can do the job and if I screw up I'll admit I was wrong.  That's what I want out of a president.  Someone who is real with people but confident at the same time.  Not someone who is unconfident and real.  Hell who knows if she's being real.  Never know with her.

Of course experience is a matter of opinion.  I think Aristotle would say that all 4 of these people are incapable of running the country... and hell he has to be a lot smarter than any of us.  Point being there is no one capable of running a country so what do you go off of?  Different for everyone but what I go off of is what they say they are going to do and how real they are with the issues.  I really do wish McCain would tell people that drilling on the continental shelf will not free us from foreign oil or lower gas prices but Obama has said that is the truth.  It's fact and not debateable.  That's what I want out of a politician.  Unfortunately I don't think we have that this time around or we'll ever have it so I got to go with the best bet right now in that.  That's why I hope Obama wins and I hope that he isn't as radical as he first came off to be.  But I'd rather take my chances with that than McCain coming in and screwing more with the Middle EAst and then dying and leaving that shit up to someone who can't discuss current events at a dinner table let alone foreign policy.
