That question was simple enough, who's more qualified as a VP, Palin or Hillary. The question itself is rather pointless because Hillary is not going to be VP. Just an interesting insight as to who the best choice might have been.

I don't care much for Hillary and all the 'baggage' she brings with her, but from a purely political standpoint, I think she is significantly more qualified than Palin. Who's qualifications I seriously doubt, by the way.

Emotion aside I was less than impressed with her recent interview on 20/20. I was surprised she continued to dismiss, evade and justify some serious questions she was pointedly asked. "Ear Marks" being one significant factor, her justification for the IMMENSE Federal Funding Alaska has recieved was not a reasonable argument. That funding, by the way, pales in comparison to other States. The same could be said for why she left Wasillia deeply in debt after she left office. It WAS out of debt when she started! Her argument there just didn't cut it for me. The Bridge to Nowhere debate is a running joke, she supported it, there is no doubt. I thought she did a remarkably poor job of explaining that away. Down right dirty the way the McCain campaign has twisted the truth on THAT issue.

I find myself offended that they (McCain) thinks the American people are so stupid they can get away with such lies. My feeling is their negative campaign WILL come back to bite them in the butt. But I could be wrong, there might not be enough time for the 'people' to wake up and put 2 and 2 together. Here's my take: Lie in the campaign, you will lie in office.
