L. Douglas Wilder, Mayor of Richmond, on Palin. "God Help Us"
http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/news.apx.-content-articles-RTD-2008-09-16-0032.html

Richmond Mayor and former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder said yesterday that Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin lacks the expertise to be vice president of the United States.

"God help us," Wilder said at a news conference called by Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's campaign. "If that is the cream of the crop, God save the milk."

The Illinois senator's campaign called the news conference to criticize GOP presidential nominee John McCain for a series of television advertisements that Obama says is distorting his record.

Asked about the Palin candidacy, Wilder said: "To the extent that he's chosen her, he is totally entitled to that. No one should criticize him for choosing her, whether she's experienced or not. My concern is, who are going to be the next people that you choose, if you're going to use that level to determine expertise."


:rofl:

Sums it up rather nicely, I would say.

2. Pffft. He's just a mayor of a town of 200,000. What does he know?

5. Pfft. A governor on his way down!
Not like Ms. Palin, who simply uses a governorship as a brief touchpoint on her leap from dues-paying member of the PTA to Vice-President of the United States of America!
