NEW PALIN MEME: It's not that she doesn't have the experience/qualified
It's that she's not ready.

That should shut down some of the "Well, Obama doesn't have the experience." It also takes away some of the sexism claims.

1. It amazes me that people continue to try to "respond" to attacks based on rationality....
NOTHING will take away the false sexism claims. That's why they put any-ol-woman on the ticket. They're gonna falsely claim sexism NO MATTER WHAT.

If we ignore her, they'll say "Oh - so a woman isn't important enough to pay attention to? SEXISM!!!!".

:rofl:

We'd get further is people stopped pretending there's anything remotely rational going on here.

4. You know that, I know that but think about convincing other people
You start off the conversation with the "not qualified/experienced" language that have proven to turn people off.

You start off with "She's not ready" and I'll bet ya that leads to more meaningful discussion. It's not as negative sounding as experience or qualifications. You could frame it the following way:

Female voter: "I like Palin, she's a lot like me and she's got the experience of being a governor."
Smart Obama Supporter: "I hear ya but she's just not ready."
FV: "What do you mean not ready?"
SOS: "Well she only has two years of Gubernatorial experience, it's a lot to expect someone with that limited experience to be ready to take over as President if needed, you know? At least Obama has 8 years experience in Illinois as a State Senator before becoming a United States Senator."

Then go on to list the facts about foreign policy, national security, etc. It's an easy way to point out her lack of experience without shutting people off.

3. She didn't even know until a couple of weeks ago
That she was up for the job.

Obama's been campaigning for a couple of years! He knew he wanted the job and organized a campaign and got through a tough battle to get the nomination!
