No fireworks from this corner. I think there are a few valid points made in the first post, although I do find objectionable the Maher comment and the ridiculing political badge made part of the post....not sure what that kind of stuff has to do with anything but being a bit mean...however.....I see some of the points.

I do have a question for the beginner of this thread.......

If in fact selecting Gov Palin opens up his judgement, why then can we not discuss the mentors, associates and advisors of Sen Obama as it relates to his judgement ?

I also will add, and I agree with a bit of your comments on experience....that spending one entire paragraph discussing her family and various pregnancies and praising Sen Obama, I would have hoped such a post as yours would have mentioned the nasty rumors that made this particular announcement necessary not that Sen Obama had anything at all to do with that I considr that kind of slander (which did make it to this board) some of the lowest.

But in any case....just give me a response to my question and I will go away and allow whatever..
