Name a reason why she's a good pick

[therising]

So, far the only arguments I've heard of her, are along the lines of "Well Obama doesn't have much experience, either."

I want to hear a reason why, she, herself is a worth candidate.

She's hot!

Depends on your POV

From a strategic standpoint
She shores up the conservative vote
cuts into the Dem woman vote. (May not vote for McCain but may just not vote.) I'd say as the she's a bad mother thing plays out ther will be more non voteing women created.

From a job standoint like it or not there are only 2 requirements. Age and US Citizen. The whole experience thing is overblown on both sides.

I know its Alaska I know its a small state but she still rn the executive branch there. That does count in some circles.

She's not an insider, maybe there will be a different POV

I should have titled this post to say "Why would she be good for the job?"

I undertsand, why she's good from a strategic point.....But, why will she actually be qualified for the job?

Over 35 - Check
US Born - Check

Yep she's qualified.

"Why would she be good for the job?"

Not sure what makes a good VP? Going to State funerals?

I can't think of any. Or at least any unique qualifications that are not found in hundreds , if not thousands, of other citizens. Maybe we should ask Dan Quayle.

The same question should be and has been asked about Obama, but nobody can seem to answer them.

How about the possibility of her going to her boss' funeral?

As do 49 other people currently, plus, probably hundreds who are retired from that job.
Most of whom probably have more than 21 months experience in that position.

And here comes the the drama. Heartbeat away from president, yadda yadda yadda. I don't ant to downplay this potential but lets play the odds. How often does that happen. Based upon history I'm willing to frankly not care how much "Experience" an VP has.

Seriously are we really going to spend this much effort deciding who to be the Next POTUS based upon the VPOTUS choice?

And 21 months more than 3 other on the ticket.

its a red herring, just as the experience questions with BO. Its a distraction

She was hand picked not by McAmnesty, but by the conservative, corporate whore, elitist, puppet masters who run the Republican party. McAmnesty had no say in this matter.

It happens with both parties and has happened for decades!!!

Kennedy didn't pick Johnson because they were in love with each other!
