Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers — a quintessential American story.

If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track — you’re a maverick.

Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

Attend five different small colleges before graduating, you’re well grounded.

If you spend three years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a constitutional law professor, spend eight years as a state senator representing a district with more than 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.

If your total resume is: local weather girl, four years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive.

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising two beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner-city community,
then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America’s.

If your husband is nicknamed “First Dude,” with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.

To everyone else out there who also thinks experience matters, lets see what they’ll have to say now. To me personally, Palin could be a good VP and President, regardless of her “inexperience”. I just don’t think picking Sarah Palin is going to help John McCain as much as he thinks it will. He’s created the buzz for now, but believe me, within the next few days people (including stench feminists) will sit back and actually examine this choice.

The bottom line is McCain has chosen her SOLELY because she’s a woman, which can be argued as a very sexist move, but of course it’s for a good thing, a VP nomination, but is still SOLELY based on her sex. A very big kiss-assy move. Will Hillary’s women supporters fall for this? I don’t think so. So if Hillary was on the ticket would he pick an African American to match his opposition? Hmm, he just might. Right now I think McCain is a politician, and in no way a president.

Let’s go back a bit here. So what you’re telling me is if anything  happens to McCain as president, Sarah Palin would be the person to step into the Oval Office? I think that’s a bit against his argument so far.

Does John McCain have advisers at all? I think this is a complete giveaway to the Obama-Biden ticket. Sarah Palin on her own might be a good VP or president, but not on her dads, my bad, John McCain’s ticket. A Governor since 2006? Hmm. I think being in the senate gives much more national experience than being a governor. Senators discuss and vote on EVERY single national issue, not just about snow mobiles and iced roads. Obama having done this for 4 years is still more experienced than Sarah Palin to me. She is no match for Joe Biden, who will beat her hands down in a debate.

Also with regards to Sarah Palin’s statement on stage about some Hillary leaving 18 million cracks in the highest glass ceiling in america and the women in America shattering the ceiling once and for all, I think she should keep Hillary’s name out of her mouth and stop trying to jump on Hillary’s hard work.The fact that you’re a woman doesn’t make you equal or anywhere near Hillary Clinton.

On a wisdom scale of 1 to 10, I’ll give McCain’s pick of a VP a 4, while I’ll give Obama picking Joe Biden a 7. McCain’s first presidential decision proves to be very shaky, which is not what America needs right now.

I just launched a CNN Political Ticker Facebook application.

It’s an app for the CNN Political Ticker blog, which I’m a big fan of. Basically it pulls the latest posts from Political Ticker, then displays them in Facebook with photos and comments. Check it out here: http://apps.facebook.com/politicalticker/. The 2008 US elections are almost here, stay up to date with daily coverage and other politics on Facebook!

Check out my new CNN Political Ticker Facebook Application. Here’s an example of how the application displays articles with comments.

SARAH PALIN HAS LIED OVER AND OVER TO AMERICA THAT SHE OPPOSED THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.

If she’s telling the truth, then I’m Rick James.

Hillary:

The two party conventions showcased vastly different directions for our country. Senator Obama and Senator Biden offered the new ideas and positive change America needs and deserves after eight years of failed Republican leadership. Senator McCain and Governor Palin do not.

After listening to all the speeches this week, I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle class families, provide quality affordable health care for all Americans, guarantee equal pay for equal work for women, restore our nation’s leadership in a complex world or tackle the myriad of challenges our country faces. So, to slightly amend my comments from Denver: NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN-PALIN.

“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities,”

Sarah Palin thinks community organizers don’t have actual responsibilities (just like she thought a VP doesn’t't have responsibilities a few months ago). She just shot herself in the foot. This means none of the following organizations or groups have actual responsibilities:

* The Red Cross
* The Salvation Army
* Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now ACORN
* Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, Canada [8]
* Christian Coalition
* Community Farm Alliance (CFA)
* Direct Action and Research Training Center (DART)
* East Brooklyn Congregations
* Gamaliel Foundation
* Highlander Research and Education Center
* Industrial Areas Foundation
* Jewish Organizing Initiative(JOI)
* Kentuckians for the Commonwealth
* Make the Road New York
* National People’s Action
* National Training and Information Center
* Oregon Action
* Philadelphia Unemployment Project (PUP)
* PICO National Network
* West Lodge Toronto Tenants Association
* Virginia Organizing Project[9]
* Lyndale Neighborhood Association
* Longfellow Community Council
* Christian Community Development Association

Let me tell Sarah Palin one big difference between a community organizer and a mayor. A SALARY!
