Probably because as an executive, she has more experience?
but she isn't the one running remember?!
HER experience as an executive compared to Obama's isn't the point IMO.
She's more qualified than even McCain if that is the threshold.
and to say the Democrats are in "panic" mode is kind of interesting. did you actually think they wouldn't respond? The Republicans had the benefit of knowing they had their convention coming up so a swift and immediate response to the DNC wasn't necessarily as important in their situation.
I think the Republicans showed panic when McCain picked Palin without seemingly knowing anything about her other than what he gleened from a 3 hour interview conducted by his attorney and some news clippings. He got VERY lucky that this woman can deliver a speech better than he can.
I do think that it's going to get interesting because I think both the media and democratic interest groups are going to come after her and it's gonna be tough.
The dems because that's their job. they HAVE to discredit her as a reformer and an agent of change because she's very good at presenting that image of herself, even in the face of evidence to the contrary which has come out this week.
The media will come after her because she basically just gave the a big **** you! They've already unearthed some pretty interesting things about her just in the last week. They will continue to dig and it seems that the Republicans are of the opinion that none of this matters as long as they continue presenting her as a reformer.
The truth is, at some point Sarah Palin is going to have to sit down and answer the tough questions. Go on Meet the Press, Go on Face the Nation, some NATIONAL show where she can present her views, not in a well crafted speech or sound bite, but minute to minute, unrehearsed and unfiltered.
Without doing that she will become known by whatever information comes out about her. and so far, it's not been flattering by way of painting her as the savior of the American way that the Repubs would like it to be.
