But both Obama and Biden have had thier moments too and they do not get even close to the scrutiny as Palin does. The media bias is there. Its proven. You can excuse it all you want, but it doesn't change the truth.
I wouldn't say being the Governor of Alaska would make her a novice. I would say having an 80% plus approval rating from her constituents is an accomplishment a novice could not achieve. I don't think a novice could take on the political machine on her state and remove the corruption and crminal activity going on there even sending folks to jail. A novice could not stand up to a huge oil corporation and influence them to give back some of their record profits to he people of Alaska.
Was she not well versed in how the national media works and was she inexperienced in dealing with questions she never had been asked before? Sure. But does that make her unqualified to be VP? If all of her executive accomplishments were not enough to qualify her to be VP, then Obama should not be given even any attention to be President.
I'll take a successful businesswoman, mayor and Governor who is pro-life, pro-business, pro-military, pro-tax cuts, pro-family, pro-drilling, pro-gun, pro-conservative judges, pro-Israel, anti-gay rights, anti-socialism any day over a Harvard Law student, community organizer, state senator, US senator who is pro-abortion, pro-taxes, pro-Palestinian, pro-cuts in military spending, pro-national healthcare, pro-wealth distribution, pro-socialism, pro-gay rights, pro-affirmative action, anti-drilling, anti-business, anti-anonymous voting for union workers who may be better with Katie and Charlie but lacks the substance to lead America with traditional American values.
