Palin choice reduces GOP’s experience argument

August 29th, 2008 at 10:17am Chuck Sweeny

The nation will be examining John McCain’s veep choice veeeeerrrrry carefull. McCain turned 72 today, and he’s had recurring bouts with skin cancer. So, there’s a more than average possibility that his vice preident could be thrust into the presidency.

That makes the Republicans’ argument about Barack Obama’s lack of experience  less credible than it was yesterday. In picking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, he’s chosen a 44 year old whose chief claim to fame is that she was Miss Wasilla, a small town in Alaska, and was runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant. Palin has been governor less than two years, before that she was a mayor of Wasilla.

    I loved the Faux News’ analyst that put forth the idea that Palin will appeal to hockey fans.

    Even better is what Steve Doofus said on Faux this morning that she has foreign policy experience, because her state is next to Russia. The video is over on Applesauce…
