The argument to make is not so much that disscusion on Palin's inexperience
but to tie that back as a demonstration of John McCain's hypocrisy on his arguement against the inexperience of Obama, particularly when it comes to foreign policy. I wouldn't get into a tit for tat experience battle between a President and a V.P. Just pivot it pack to MCcain on his lack of honesty on the foreign experience charge.

In the mean while wait for the ethics charges on Palin to hopefully ripen, as if you pluck the fruit too soon and it doesn't ripen,like the rezko thing, it becomes pretty unappetizing for public digestion later (if she starts getting loud about her commitment to the ethics reform we can potentially pluck that fruit earlier and throw it at her).

Other than that, tie her policies on energy and social issues. Honestly I think this V.P. choice is a surprise and could be a boon to McCain (in solidifying his base, and going after independent women and a smaller subset of hillary supporters), but it is risky and there are some opportunities for attack. McCain should still be the prime focus, but we can find ways to make those two stick together on issues that are advantageous for us. Joe biden can virtually finish the job in the V.P. debates (although he may need to hold it back just a tad to avoid potential sympathy backlash), so we can be patient here(as long as there aren't any big time bounces)
