And why in hell is the media grilling the Republican VP pick as if she is going to be the President tomorrow, yet they never asked Obama, the Democratic Presidential candidate, the same questions?

Why do I trust McCain more as president? Simply: He has solid military experience and obvious leadership abilities, which at our present state of foreign policy, is desperately needed. And, so far, his campaign has been less about great, soaring rhetoric and more about actual issues...all served up with a side of less spin. He picked a VP that will round out his own shortcomings (youth, for one) and bring a fresh perspective to the White House on energy and other important issues.

I realize I didn't quite answer your question.

McCain: Policy-making experience, years of military experience, the ability to make decisions based on what he thinks is the best course of action, regardless of party line, and showed the ability to work in a joint-party environment without stone-walling.

Obama: No military familiarity or experience, more concerned with his appearance than actual issues, little policy-making experience, and the tendency to rely on advisers and the party's gospel. Being the president is not the same as convincing a whole sh*t ton of people to join your religious cult. He's just too fluffy. No substance.
