Sarah Palin as VP

It is obvious to me that McCain's campaign against Obama will not be about Obama's lack of experience. Hillary tried that, and failed. Sarah Palin also lacks experience, so Democrats can't use that against her without opening themselves to a similar attack. I dont think experience will be an issue in the fall campaign.

I think McCain will raise questions about Obama's ideology, not his experience. Obama has ties to kenya, indonesia, he comes from an unusual family and geographic background. But getting beyond his style, his physical posturing, his speech making, what are his positions? What do we really know about him? Will he socialize health care? Is he a radical liberal? Is he a "manchurian candidate?" that is, someone with a hidden agenda that is remarkably unAmerican? I have a hunch that something is missing, and his link to bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground terrorist, might be it. Ayers appears on the documentary "The Weather underground" and is unrepentant about his bomb making. he and other Weather Underground terrorists turned themselves in to the authorities, but they did not confess to their crimes, nor were they prosecuted (lack of evidence, without an outright confession).
So how radical is Obama?

Palin's biggest problem is that for republican environmentalists, she is a problem. She supports aerial hunting of wolves, opposed naming Polar bears as endangered, does not think global warming is human generated, and wants to drill in the artic wildlife reserve. But she has a remarkable record fighting against corruption, and Alaska is full of that, with all the natural reserves, there has been constant payoffs from big corporations to alaskan politicians.
