Palin is not prepared and cannot be prepared, not for years. She is
starting at ground zero.



I knew virtually nothing about her until the networks started unofficially
announcing McCain's decision.

I did some Googling for a while, trying to get a feel for her background and
experience.

I am very impressed with her apparent successes to date, her humble
political beginnings and, above all, her apparent tenacity and courage.

But, she's a complete amateur in the field of global politics and
international relations. Her degree is in Journalism for cripes sake!

As interesting, attractive, refreshing and innovative as she may be, we
don't need another amateur one heartbeat from the presidency in this age of
high stake international politics.

McCain has the right stuff. But he is 72 years old. What the hell was he
thinking?
