I'm not a Palin-basher, but I do see definite drawbacks for the McCain campaign because of her relative inexperience. Sure, she has captured the imagination and the hearts of millions of Americans, and she has energized the GOP ticket, but the job of the VP pick during an election is to work hard for their running mate, not vice-a-versa. While Biden is making the rounds of the universities, union halls, and talk shows, Palin is still being groomed and prepped for every appearance she makes. All of her campaign stops are tightly scripted using the same, tired lines, and not really engaging her audience, or making a convincing case for McCain. That's what she's supposed to be doing. Instead, they have her on this whirlwind meet-and-greet with foreign dignitaries in what seems to be a crash course in Foreign Policy 101. I want a VP candidate who can support McCain; who knows his stance on all the issues well, who can spar with the press on his behalf, or take questions from an audience about his position on the issues. Even though Biden is gaffe-prone, he is still a seasoned politician, which works well beside Obama's comparative inexperience in a presidential campaign. Although McCain is a presidential campaign vet, he could use a running mate that doesn't have to be micromanaged so carefully, and who requires so much extra work.
