A short thought on reacting to Sarah Palin

According to Wikipedia,
The Vice President of the United States is the first person in the presidential line of succession, becoming the new President of the United States upon the death, resignation, or removal of the president, serving out the balance of that presidential term no matter how much or little time remains in it. ... As designated by the Constitution of the United States, the vice president also serves as the President of the Senate, and may break tie votes in that chamber. He or she may be assigned additional duties by the president but, as the Constitution assigns no executive powers to the vice president, in performing such duties he or she acts only as an agent of the president.
If liberals and progressives want to do more than preach to the choir, we need to address Sarah Palin's qualifications, or lack thereof, to perform that role. The more we can dispassionately argue that, by virtue of lack of experience and/or knowledge, she's simply not qualified to take over the presidency, the better.

Biden convinced me to be a hawk on Iraq before Bush was elected. Then he changed his mind when the going got tough.

I'll stick with Palin as vp. I'm through with Democrats who told me one thing then claim they'd been bamboozled.
