Means absolutely nothing. He could also get hit by one of his wife's beer
trucks the day after the inauguration.

The POTUS has a responsibility to select a qualified VP, ready to step in
should the need arise.
McCain didn't do that. He selected someone who might make him more
electable, that's all.

I admire the achievements to date of Sarah Whateverhernameis .... but I am
very disappointed in the reasoning of McCain in selecting her. She simply
is not qualified.

And Obama is more qualified..........how?

Did you know of Obama and his experience and experience before
speculation of his campaign for POTUS started?

BTW: *She* is not at the top of the ticket.

====================================

If I may jump in, it's not that Obama is qualified, it that Ms. Palin is
not.

----------------------------------------------------------

I guess the way I think doesn't make sense to many. I'll make a boating
analogy.

The president is similar to a ship's captain.

A captain or president's role .... be it a country or a company .... is to
set a course for the ship ... to know where it's going and why.
The captain/president doesn't do the navigation, but is responsible for the
qualifications and performance of the navigator.
The captain/president doesn't run the engines, but is responsible for the
qualifications and performance of the chief engineer.

and so on and so forth .....

additionally, the captain/president has the responsibility to ensure that
the second in command is up to speed, qualified and capable of taking
command whenever required.

Obama showed good executive reasoning in his choice of Biden as second in
command.

McCain hired a seaman apprentice. (Navy talk for second to lowest
enlisted rating and paygrade)

OK. So where is Obama steering the ship and how will he do it?

Do you know where McCain is steering his ship?

Yup. Thank you.
Obama has shored up his "unqualified" status in the selection of Biden.
McCain .... what the hell was he thinking??!!!!!
