It would be dumb if he said it the way I did. If he answered it by comparing her experience to Obama's, he could eliminate a useful sound byte for the other side.

Besides, I think most people feel that the VP should be qualified to be President.

Before we go too far down this road, understand that I am only talking about the experience aspect and the arguments about experience. I haven't mentioned any qualifications other than experience. From that standpoint, there isn't much difference between Palin and Obama...except that one could get VP experience before becoming President.
Also understand that I'm not putting any particular value on the experience argument. I just don't see the Palin choice taking away the experience argument if the Rep's want to make the argument.
