    oh please

    The country just elected a man with 2 years junior senator experience (before you go off, yes, I am a democrat, I just wasn't drinking the kool aid this time round). He spent the past two years avoiding work while campaigning. While I am no fan of Palin, the idea that she was any less "qualified" than the president elect is idiotic. Just because you are dead set against Republicans and fundamentalists is no reason to rail against her "supposed" inability to handle the office. Remember, we just elected a man with 2 years in the senate, unknown background info (where are the transcripts?) and ties to some of the same sleaze bags that aided and abetted the current financial mess (Franklin Raines,James Johnson). It amazes me how many of my fellow "democrats" live in glass houses.
