I won't harp on Obama's experience as I think in your heart you recognize he and Sarah Palin share that attribute, I guess I am much less concerned with her getting along with the Washington establishment. Unlike Obama (who has never gone against ultra liberal orthodoxy), she might actually have her own mind and influence McCain in positive ways (i.e., she is all for drilling for oil in ANWR). And if McCain drops over in two years she will have two more years of experience in the position than Obama whne she assumes the office. She will also have the option to do what Obama did which was select a VP that has considerable experience.

I understand your concerns about her but if you really understand the fallacy of bigger federal government I just can't see you pulling the lever for Obama/Biden. At least with McCain we might get some fiscal discipline that the Bush/Rep/Dem Congress haven't had for 8 years. Considering it is highly unlikely that control of Congress will shift maybe the best we can hope for is divided government.
