Back in October 2007, when McCain's candidacy still appeared dead and buried, the Senator berated the two Republican front runners for lacking the necessary political experience to handle commander in chief responsibilities.

"I have had a strong and a long relationship on national security, I've been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut, I understand the issues, I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism," the Senator declared. "I am prepared. I am prepared. I need no on-the-job training. I wasn't a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn't a governor for a short period of time."

Fast-forward nearly a year, and the argument McCain made back then is being used against his vice presidential pick today. Only Sarah Palin held the post of mayor of Wasilla for less time than Rudy Giuliani headed New York City. And her gubernatorial stint in Alaska is shorter than that of Mitt Romney's in Massachusetts.

My 18 year old knows what the /Bush Doctrine is, and any one who actually paid attention to the Iraq war knows what it is! So if Putin ask her if she believes in the Bush Doctrin and how that pertains to them, She will just wait for Putin to tell her what it means, and that will make her look intelligent, (HOW)? I give her points for knowing how to dance a good dance and avoid the real questions however! I did have to laugh when asked about traveling to foreign countries, and she said she'd been to kuwait and mexico! Mexico, Even this old house wife here has been their an to canada! Does that make me qualified?

As her stint as mayor and governor clearly shows, she'll delegate that responsibility to some groveling half-wit Alaskan.
