John McCain’s choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate was the final nail for me in my decision to vote for Barack Obama for president. Although Palin seems like a strong woman who might make an OK vice president, I think her qualifications start and stop at that level.
As John McCain’s health history consists of numerous serious cancer reccurrences, there’s a high probability he will not be able to complete a full term in office, thereby elevating Palin to the office of president.
With two wars raging, terrorism going largely unchallenged, serious economic and climate change issues facing the world and the Russian bear once again rising to military and economic prominence, I don’t see any way she is qualified to be president of the United States.
Let me put it this way: I don’t want the former mayor of Wasilla going toe to toe with the former head of the Russian KGB.
