The Scarlet "T" of Inexperience

Splengler, whoever he/she is, succinctly sums up the McCain selection of Palin:

The young Alaskan governor, to be sure, hasn't any business running for vice president of the United States with her thin resume. McCain and his people know this perfectly well, and that is precisely why they put her on the ticket. If Palin is unqualified to be vice president, all the less so is Obama qualified to be president.
McCain’s pick couldn’t have highlighted Obama’s inexperience more than if he branded a scarlet "I" on the Chosen one’s forehead.

Ironically, picking a far more experienced executive for VP, such as Mitt Romney, wouldn't have had the same effect to highlight Obama's inadequacy. This is because the media had so far refused to make that living room elephant an issue; they were smart enough to not say anything when the differences were obvious. But then John McCain put out that juicy Palin bait and the liberals and their media compatriots couldn't help themselves. Seeing red meat they were drawn out and trapped long before they knew what happened. Now Mr Obama is forced to tout running a campaign as experience to be president. By that standard Ralph Nadar has more experience than Obama.
