The choice of Palin for example by McCain is nothing else than giving the finger to the world.

In that case, Obama is the democrats giving the finger to the Clintons, and then the rest of the people of the US.

There have been VP candidates with low experience before, like Agnew. Palin has the least amount of experience for a VP candidate ever. Obama has the least amount of experience of any POTUS candidate ever. Conversely, Biden has the most amount of experience for a VP ever, and McCain is near the top for experience as a POTUS candidate. The POTUS candidate who was next closest for low experience is G.W. Bush.

But, there is the problem. We are comparing McCain to Biden, and Palin to Obama. In my thinking, at least the Republicans put their most experience person on the top of the ticket, rather than the one who hangs around the Senate breaking tie votes until the President croaks. Like I said, it's the election of the wanna-be vs the has-been.

Palin matters more than Biden, because McCain is as old as dirt. She was actually a savvy choice by Republicans, because she is very conservative which energizes that portion of the Republican base that are anti-McCain. Without that kind of lightning rod, this election would have been over the week after the RNC. Because of her, McCain is still clinging to threads 3 weeks prior to the election. As it stands today, the data I've seen pretty clearly favor Obama in popular and electoral votes.
