Dissent

Anne from Ohio thinks Prof. Blanchard and I are wrong that Sarah Palin neutralizes the experience argument for Team McCain:

I disagree with you and Prof Blanchard about the nomination of Sarah Palin neutralizing the experience issue.  I think it emphasizes it.  It has the Democrats furiously insisting that Sen Obama is so too more experienced than Governor Palin.  Well, that has them comparing the top of their ticket to the bottom of the Republicans'.  Eventually people will recall that Sen McCain exceeds them all in both experience and judgment.

I only hope that Anne is right and we are wrong.  Given our track record, that is a highly likely occurrance.
