Serious Questions About McCain’s Reckless VP Pick
by Chris Edelson

The media doesn’t realize yet that it is being played.  After telling the media, over and over, that experience matters, above all, John McCain has picked a shockingly unqualified running mate with absolutely zero foreign policy experience.  So far, the media has eagerly taken the bait, gushing about the boldness of the Palin pick and exclaiming over how it energizes the base while often failing to note McCain’s hypocrisy.

The Politico briefly mentions that “serious questions remain about McCain’s pick–exactly how much he knows about her and her positions, past and present, on key issues.”  That’s the understatement of the week.  Is anyone actually planning on asking McCain some of these questions?  Here are some I’d ask McCain?

• If a Vice President Palin were called on to assume the duties of the presidency, what foreign policy experience would she draw on in dealing with situations in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, China, and elsewhere?
• How many times did you meet with Gov. Palin before you named her as your running mate?
• What makes Gov. Palin the most qualified person in the Republican party to serve as vice president? 
• What has Gov. Palin done to advance women’s rights?
• Do you, and Gov. Palin, believe that women in the United States face discrimination?  Have you discussed this with the governor, and what is your plan to combat discrimination against women?
• As a senator, what legislation have you helped enact that responds to discrimination against women?
• Does your selection of Gov. Palin give us an idea of how you would decide important issues facing you as president?

That’s just for starters.
