How Concerning Is The Selection Of An Unqualified Candidate For National Office?

This week's subject is prompted by several recent factors: national polls reporting 1/3 or more respondenets believe Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is unqualified to be president; She is polling the largest negative ratings ever recorded for a VP candidate (since polling that question began over a quarter century back); her increasing negative polls are even bringing Sen. John McCain's numbers down; in a recent TV interview she stated the job of Vice President to include controlling the U.S. Senate; she has given no press conferences and few, mostly "friendly", one-on-one's (but to be fair, McCain, Obama & Biden have given few press conferences as well).
