Barak Obama's credentials are impressive. I suppose that is why the people of Illinois have trusted him for so long. But, Ms. Palin's credentials lack in expertise, especially in the venue of foreign affairs.
By placing Ms. Palin in the 'competency' range of the Executive Branch, John McCain has eliminated any and all issues regarding 'length of time in office as a prerequisite.'
John McCain is asking the American electorate 'to look the other way' when it comes to the 'competencies' of Ms. Palin. He chose her for one reason and one reason only, 'it could possibly sell well,' especially to those disgruntled over a Democratic ticket without Hillary.
If John McCain considers Ms. Palin competent to be the next President in his relinquishment of office for whatever reason that might occur, there is either a 'strategy' for Palin to resign in such an instance or McCain is stating that longevity in office has NO RELEVANCY to competency in the Executive Branch.
John McCain no longer has a moral authority to cite 'experience' in relation to 'longevity' as a reason to decide on the elections of 2008 when it comes to 'competency' to serve.
