Inexperienced. Ignorant. Extremist
If listing out your qualifications includes noting that you're a member of the PTA you're probably a little light on experience for the Presidency. three years ago she was a part-time mayor for a town of 6,000 people. Her biggest accomplishment was getting a box store put in her town. 18 months as Governor of one of the smallest states (legislatively) in the country, a part time job in itself, with almost no urban and agricultural issues.

Inexperienced.

She doesn't know how the Federal government works. She only has a bachelors in journalism, and by her own admission was a hockey mom only a few years ago. She asked what the Vice President actually does all day? She's never lived in a city larger than Anchorage (which is smaller than Corpus Christi) and has zero experience with foreign policy.

Ignorant.

She's a creationist. She's anti-choice. Anti-gay rights. Anti-Alternative Energy. Anti-government. Pro-George Bush

Extremist.

Inexperienced. Ignorant. Extremist. No Thanks.

2. Yup. Incredible.
On the 1 hand this makes me smile, on the other hand if they steal this election, this makes me very afraid.

8. This 'older rust belt white male' disagrees
We aren't all that easy to get over, you know. A young pretty face don't mean squat when you're worried about losing your job to China.

Palin is a disaster in the making for McCain't.

6. Exactly
but she rallies the Fundies who were about to stay home in droves, and has the sex appeal to get the Rust Belt's older white male voters, who are shaky in their support for Obama. So we've got to get over to the online Obama phone bank and/or our local Dem campaign HQ's and make those points you write about.

7. What's really frightening is "IF" they win she will literally be
a heartbeat away from being our President. As a female, I would love to see a qualified female become President. But your recital of her total lack of experience, not only in politics, but world and national view is astounding. John McCain will be 72 years and 5 months old on January 20th, 2009. God help us all.
