You are going to hear a lot about McCain's age and Palin's ineperience. Obama's experience is much greater than Palin's who 20 months ago was a mayor of a small town with a population of 6,500. The conservatives will now have a much harder time saying Obama is inexperienced. In addition some of the major conservative pundits aren't even happy with here. Here are some quotes:
with Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review: "She Just Is Not Ready to Be Commander-in-Chief"
Pat Buchanan responded to the quote above: "I'm liable to agree."
National Review's Jonah Goldberg: "Downside: She may not be ready for primetime. The heartbeat-from-the-presidency issue is a real one."
From the National Review's Jonathon Adler: "I recognize that were McCain to select Palin as his Veep it disrupts the Obama Lacks Foreign Policy Experience" talking point, but I was never thought that argument was all that powerful."
From Town Hall's Ron Fournier: "If Obama is an empty suit, as McCain has suggested, is Palin suited for the Oval Office herself?
She is younger and less experienced than the first-term Illinois senator, and brings an ethical shadow to the ticket. Just 20 months ago, she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town of 6,500 where the biggest issue is controlling growth and the biggest annual worry is whether there will be enough snow for the Iditarod dog-mushing race."
From Joe Scarborough: "It Sounds Like a Harriet Miers Decision. Let's Find a Woman, Whether She's Experienced or Not."
If your own hatchet men are attacking her you have to be a bit worried.
