A lot of democrats are saying that Sahah Palin is a flash in the pan and won't last and that she is not qualified to be Veep.
In addition to her and Obama there ar a few president who were short on previous experience. These include Abe Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt, who turned out to be exceptional presidents. Jimmy Carter had a fair amount of previous experience and although a nice guy was a disaster as president. Experience can be a plus, but there is something to be said for taking Cincinatus from the plow as opposed to a career bureaucrat. I think it is more important that the candidate has the right instincts and resolve. As Jack Simplot once said "I may not know how to do something but I can hire who does" Ted gave a list of GOP women who would have been good choices. I like all of them and think they would have been good picks with the possible exceptions of Snow, Rell, Lingle and McMorris-Roger. The fact is though that none of them would have energized people the way Palin has.

I'm guessing, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I do have a strong hunch about it, that at this point in time, at least, and with the strong assumption that you won't be changing your mind, given that your post indicates rather strong convictions, you will not be voting for Obama?
