Palin's Experience: PTA President (...) Close Proximity to Russia

"Foreign policy experience," who knows what this term of art means these days, is apparently learned through the process of osmosis. This statement could easily be an ironic joke if Mrs. Cheney didn't actually believe what she was saying. I wonder how many citizens are persuaded by this message. Following her line of logic, does this mean Obama, as a Hawaiian native, has expansive Pacific nation foreign policy experience?

Obviously the better line of comparison, as John McCain has been using quite often, is "executive experience" (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/31/politics/animal/main4401349.shtml).

Palin

I feel like this article finally gets the real point and impact of the Palin selection:

McCain seems to have found a way to energize the evangelical wing of the Republican party. It's about guns in the rust belt and abortions in the south. Will McCain dispense with his moderation on these issues to compliment Palin or are social conservatives going to have to ignore the presidential debates?
One other thing interesting about this article, what's with social conservatives using the F word in sound bites?
