The left is going nuts because of McCain's Palin pick. But their line of attack is not well thought out (big surprise). They are attacking Governor Palin for not having enough experience! You know that Barack Obama guy has several years of valuable experience in the Illinois state legislature and almost four years of experience in the US senate. Palin just doesn't stack up.
Wait a sec. Sarah Palin is a governor, an executive. She actually makes decisions. Even more importantly, Governor Palin has a long list of achievements. The narrative of the McCain campaign has been experience vs. inexperience. But I believe the narrative is flawed. Achievement, not experience, should be the narrative.
Barack Obama has no achievements as a legislator. Not in Illinois, not in the US senate. Even his election to the US senate is not an achievement considering the circumstances (Republican Representative Jack Ryan drops out of race because of Chicago Tribune publishing his divorce papers and is replaced by the worst candidate the Republicans could find, Alan Keyes). And outside of politics, other than his two books, Barak Obama has zero noteworthy accomplishments.
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin has a long list of achievements which are summed up quite well here.
If the Obama campaign wants to keep pushing this inexperience line, it will only hurt them in November. I find Palin's resume to be far, far more impressive than Obama's. Her work with Canada puts her far ahead of Obama in foreign policy matters.
Even if you don't buy the achievement/experience line I'm feeding you, it should be noted that Sarah Palin is "only" running for VP. Obama, the underachiever, is running for president.

Regardless of other stuff, I would vote for anyone with the moral compass that would motivate them get the head of their own party (state level) to resign because of ethics violations.
We just don't see that kind of stuff much in modern politicians.
