I agree that under traditional scrutiny she is unqualified. I am an independent who will probably vote for Obama (also not qualified to be President), but I am intriqued by Palin. I'm intriqued because we are in a huge mess in every measurable area yet we've had 'qualified people' making decisions. How about someone who might not know the term 'The Bush Doctrine', but knows enough to say, 'maybe we should only invade a country if it poses a direct and immediate threat to the US'. The press hasn't pressed Obama on specifics because he's 'articulate and fresh', but doesn't have a record of making hard decisions nor dealing with real issues. We don't have a good choice at the top of the ticket this year especially given the dire state of the US, but I'm encouraged that a little common sense, experience more like the common man and a women's innate smarts may make her the perfect VP candidate!
