Thanks for the link.

Done. I submitted a boring but straight-forward question that avoids any of the side-tracking squabbles about her personality or ideology. My question was, simply:

Besides what's on record about Palin's education and professional experience, is their any additional educational or professional background that would qualify her to be leader of government and commander-in-chief of the most powerful nation in the world?

I wonder after accepting the nomination and being briefed by the McCain camp, what she expects her role will be within the McCain administration since she (hopefully) learned what it is the VP does...

Mrs. Palin - If your ticket loses this year, do you plan on running for president in 2012? If so, do you expect the people you'd be running against in the GOP primaries (Romney, Giuliani, Huckabee, et al.) to attack you on your experience, your family life and other issues about which they've defended you over the past week, or do you think they'll campaign against you based strictly on your policy positions?

Mrs. Palin can you explain how you left a town with $0 debt when you entered office in 1996 with $22 million in debt when you left office in 2002 even though you hired a Jack Abramoff associate to lobby for your town in Washington and he - along with your friend Ted Stevens - managed to get Wasilla $27 million in federal pork while you were mayor? Can you explain why three of these pork projects wound up on Senator McCain's annual wasteful spending list? How does this jibe with your claim that you are a reformer who is against pork?

I suggested a simple "yes or no" question - only a one-word answer: Will Jews, Roman Catholics, Hindus, Buddhists, and others go to heaven?

The minute she either begins to dance around it or answers "no" (which we know she would) she alienates many, many people...

Unless she grants press access, I think we need some basics:

Why are you qualified to be the vice president?
What is your foreign policy experience?
Have you managed a government during a fiscal crisis?
Other than firing those that disagree, what is your method of resolving disagreements?

Do you find it offensive that the McCain campaign is keeping you sheltered from the press, indicating he doubts your ability to play with the big boys?

Dr. Dobson said in his book Adolescent Rebellion that teenage pregnancies are caused by parental neglect. How would you respond to that? Do you find it hypocritical that given that statement, he endorses your candidacy?

Given that you said just a few weeks ago, "I'm a hockey mom from Alaska, they aren't going to ask me to be vice president." (indicating that you felt you weren't qualified) why do you think they asked you to be on the ticket?

Why have you not corrected John McCain when he said you sold the plane on eBay at a profit?

Why did you initially say you would be cooperating with the "Trooper Investigation" and now are refusing to do so.

Whose idea was it to have the father of your teenage daughter's baby involved in the convention after you asked that the press leave your family out of this and respect their privacy?

Whose idea was it to disparage Community Organizers in your acceptance speech? Was it given to you to read? Or was that your idea? Given that Jesus was a community organizer, do you regret your comments?

Have you ever cc'd your husband on State business e-mails, and if so, why?

I could go on and on...

Here's my addition

When Barack Obama was 24 years old he became a community organizer for local churches, helping with job training and education preparedness.

What were you doing when you were 24?

The clever Press as Villain narrative does provide a challenge, agreed. But is not a new one. I remember Nixon's team using exactly that defense during the Watergate period. Thank goodness their vilification of the media did not deter Woodward and Bernstein.

So like I tell kids when I coach soccer, we have to "play through."

As Governor, you supported a windfall profits tax on oil companies. Have you abandoned that position or are you trying to persuade Senator to do the same thing on a national level?

I wonder if the Republican campaign, in addition to keeping Palin under wraps, is trying to create "demand" by a forced "scarcity" of access.

What would they do if the media actually said, "OK, we don't care about talking to Palin after all." Especially after pestering the campaign to produce her.

I want to see her interviewed as well, but I'm often irritated by the apparent Republican manipulation of the media.

We should really fill Tapper's comments section with good questions and keep him riled up.
