Boy, that'll really hammer home the message that Obama is dangerously inexperienced :rofl:

4. They're thinking that we won't dare mention her lack of
experience. Because look at that naive, green candidate we nominated.

5. Of course we won't bring it up. But it's a rather nifty shut-down response.
"Obama is too young and inexperienced."
"Ah, so if that's a problem, that explains why John McCain picked someone even younger and even less experienced to be one heartbeat away, right?"

8. Right. We can't really bring it up, but they can't play on it anymore either.

7. To make it worse, they made such a big deal about experience (ads), then
they choose inexperience. Mrs. Palin may be a good administrator, but I doubt that she would be willing to take orders. She seems like she wants to be involved.

Her inexperience might make it a little difficult to defend Iraq, torture and Bush*.

9. My reaction exactly!!!
Would Palin be "ready on day one?" AND, we're talking about a potential president who's old and not in the best of health...
