He didn't come out of nowhere. He has been around for a while and the first time I remember hearing about him was in 2004 when someone said, "This guy is going to be the next President of the United States."

If you want to say that we shouldn't vote for someone because they have no record and no experience - your claim, not mine - then you shouldn't vote for McCain/Palin either because Palin is the least experienced person in this campaign. SHE scares me. She is too far to the right and literally a heartbeat away from being President.

I think Obama, McCain, and Biden could all step in and start running this country, but I do not think that Palin is ready or fit for the job.

Actually, Palin has more executive experience than Obama. Obama's only executive experience, by his own claim, is running his campaign. Palin has run a town and a state. And is pretty popular still among the majority in her state.

Now you tell me how running a campaign qualifies one to be president of the US. I could run a good campaign. That gives no experience of working with foreign policy, economy, health care, etc... All Obama has going for him is good oratory skills. And people right now just want to hear something good because the media has filled them with so much negative stuff about everything lately. If McCain could stand and speak like Obama, it wouldn't even be a race. But McCain lacks this skill and it is the reason he doesn't fare so well in the debates.

Obama is the most liberal Democrat the party could have nominated. As much as you think Palin is right wing, Obama is far more left wing. At least McCain is much more proven to be the leader. I'd even possibly consider a Joe Biden presidency, but Obama is not experienced with executive decisions at all.
