Everyone knows that Medvedev is Putin's little puppet.

What makes you say that? Have you even seen Palin's interviews? I mean, at least Obama has some idea of what's going on in the world today, unlike Palin.
Also, why does Obama's middle name matter to you? |

Yes, and I live in a state that is only ninety miles from Cuba.

The pastor at my church, who retired recently, was from Canada. I guess that gives me foreign policy experience.   |

Being a community organizer in the south side of Chicago, does not give you experience to be president of the United States, esp since the south side of Chicago is worse now than before he got there. |

So you're ignoring the fact that he was also a member of the Senate for 3 years, which gave him experience on a national level?
Also, you still haven't answered my question about why you continue to use Obama's middle name. |

What makes you think that she'll surprise us in the debates when she's done so horribly with speaking off-the-cuff in all of the interviews she's done so far? |

You are exactly right. Palin’s work experience in lobbying for pork barrel ear marks, lying about scientific research, interfering in investigations, giving important high paying jobs to unqualified friends, lying about her record and catering to the religious right are all stellar qualifications for a republican.
