The New York Times editorial on Sarah Palin

The interviews made clear why Americans should worry about Ms. Palin’s thin
résumé and lack of experience. Consider her befuddlement when Mr. Gibson
referred to President Bush’s “doctrine” and her remark about having insight into
Russia because she can see it from her state.

But that is not what troubled us most about her remarks — and, remember, if
they were scripted, that just means that they reflect Mr. McCain’s views all the
more closely. Rather, it was the sense that thoughtfulness, knowledge and
experience are handicaps for a president in a world populated by Al Qaeda
terrorists, a rising China, epidemics of AIDS, poverty and fratricidal war in
the developing world and deep economic distress at home.
