No promises that this is the last one, but I'll try to control myself.
I would say that recklessness is not a quality I would want in a President. I think Mr. McCain has demonstrated breathtaking recklessness.
To me, it is reckless to nominate as Vice President someone who has not been vetted, someone who is not broadly known to the American people and someone who has major questions of political judgment.
This woman was associated with a secessionist party--the Alaska Independence Party! The last time a secessionist ran for office in the USA was 1860! That coincides nicely with her first statement when her nomination was announced, that she had to consider what she could do for Alaska as Vice President. UMMM, attention please, the office is Vice President of the United States (all of them), not VP for Alaska.
Then there is the issue of possibly firing a state official who would not fire her ex-brother-in-law as a state trooper. If true, this kind of personal use of official power is exactly the kind of stuff that has been the worst aspect of the current administration.
Can anyone seriously tell me that out of all the Republican office holders, this is the person most qualified to be President of the United States? Until Friday, had anyone even of thought the possibility that she could be POTUS?
We cannot afford to have another (thank you Sue/Ray) reckless, thoughtless, shoot-from-the-hip President!

As far as reckless, shoot-from-the-hip President---been there, done that, No Thank You. Not again.
I Heart Sarah Palin....
And as far as the "Trooper Gate" is concerned.... The man had had discipline actions up the wazzuu. Its only due to the Union that the State couldn't get rid of him when they saw he was a problem.
Jim, I love your rants... Keep them coming. I can honestly say that we are very different politically minded. I value the opposing viewpoint. I shake my head however at some of the ideas.
David--
Do you still "Heart" Governor Palin? Did you watch her pathetic (to be kind) performances in interviews with SOFTBALL questions from Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric? If she was a student in an 8th grade civics class I'd give her a C-. Her mindless repetition of the talking points she's been fed would have been funny (and has been funny when used on SNL skits) but is scary coming from someone who could actually BE President of the US. Random people on the street are more likely to understand some of the issues (seeing Russia, for heaven's sake!)
