So I had a post written out, basically mocking both Palin & Biden... and I decided that was the wrong approach to what I was trying to say. Not that I don't have strong negative feelings towards both candidates for VP. Rather, I just wanted to point out to anyone reading this that the qualifications for President have nothing to do with years in politics or foreign diplomacy experience. Rather, they are quite clearly articulated in the U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, Clause 4.
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
There may be debates about who one feels to be the better candidate to represent them in the office - that's what this ol' republic of ours is all about. But to say one of the people currently campaining for President or Vice President is not qualified is simply ignorant.

You will be a brilliant attorney (and I mean that in a compliment kind of a way -- not in a derogatory way . . . you know what I mean?).
It's just ignorant to say she's not qualified is RIGHT! She is super qualified because she is a woman
Your particular mix of X and Y chromosomes qualify you for nothing more than the bathroom you have to use in public. It's what you do with do with what you've got that matters.
