Default PBS Poll

The PBS (perennial b.s.?) has a short video on Sarah Palin on their website. Also included is a poll that asks: Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP?

Apparently, people other than liberals have discovered it: In under an hour, it's gone from 33% percent YES - 67% NO to 53% YES - 42% NO 5% I don't understand the question.

You don't have to give your name or email address in order to vote - it's simple enough for a Mikey Moore-on to use.

Find it at: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html

C/RA89, why is she qualified? I vowed to stay out of this forum because I don't do politics, but if the 18+ cadets are going to post here, you and the rest of your group need to make posts more elaborate than this.

Anyone else notice that the poll is actually hosted by NOW? Of course they are trying to cause dissent by asking an obviously leading question like that. They endorse a b1tch like the Hildebeast because she got to where she is by lieing(sp), cheating, stealing, and riding the coattails of Bill....whereas they hate a truly independent woman like Palin because she is ethically moral.

p.s. where the heck is that damnable "Spellcheck" button???

This is pretty much a loaded question due to it’s ambiguity… But I’ll attempt at an answer that will qualify.
If you are looking for concise and succinct answers to your question, this is the best (I believe) anyone can do.

Governor Palin is the only candidate with any (governmental) executive experience of any kind (on either ticket). Now, does this qualify her to be vice-president? Answer- Yes!

She, legally, is as qualified to be vice-president or even president as anyone running for the office (you can check the qualifications on your own time… My time is taken right now). So the answer here is also Yes!

So, due to the vagueness of the question posed, this is the simplest and most straight forward answer I can give you. It is irrefutable and therefore illogical for you to argue against, but if you wish to do so, by all means, be my guest. …But if you want to get into the facts (sans the petty party bickering and rhetoric) of the issue, I would be more than happy to do so (as my time permits)…
