Why the "Heartbeat Away From the Presidency" Argument Doesn't Work Against Palin

So I'm excited about Palin as VP. In fact, I think the whole announcement (who it was, and the timing) was probably the smartest move this year out of either campaign. But the Dems have started panicking. And what arguments they're resorting to may surprise you:

"[John McCain is putting]...the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency."- official Obama campaign response.

That's right, the argument is about Palin's so-called "inexperience". Well, besides her having more experience than the Dems' POTUS candidate (13 years as a public official, 2 of those years managing the state of Alaska as Governor), we have a problem of hypocrisy.

Say McCain does die in office, and Palin is elected. She has zero foreign policy experience. Well, say she elects a foreign policy buff as her VP, to fill the gaps.

Sound like anyone familiar?
