Sarah Palin?

If John McCain becomes president, he will be the oldest President to have ever been elected to office. He's a cancer survivor. And, for his VP, he picks Sarah Palin, Govenor of Alaska.Is this someone ready to lead the country? What does she know about the running of the federal government?  The military? Does she have any foreign policy experience? She is, as Obama said, a heartbeat away from the Presidency and it seems to me she is not ready to assume that mantle.This looks like a desperate ploy on McCain's part -- like in a basketball game where you're down to the last three seconds and you shoot from the other end of the court, just in case you can sink it.I don't know if choice this will sink McCain's candidacy, but it's hard to tell how it will help.
