Hands down, Sara Palin has the most executive experience of the lot and yet she is the one who is taking the most heat. Today overt sexism and racism are frowned upon, so the "unevolved" must take other routes.
Really now, talking about presidential qualifications at this point in the game are moot. Republicans think that Obama has none and Democrats think that McCain has the wrong ones. There is no way, that anyone will concede to the points. Obama qualifications, while decidedly leftist, exceeds the revolutionary molds of both Hitler and Lenin. As for him ever seeking office, name a politician who doesn't inflate their resume. Politicians seem to be by nature egoists, they think they should lead, pretending to be a common man is the most synical.
McCain's leadership seems genetically based. Obama's genes seem also directed at leadership although in different ways. His father was a man of words given his academic success from Kenya to Harvard and back. His fathers skill as a womanizer is also about a man's verbal abilities, to woo is about words.
