McCain's Really Stretching Here

Tonight on NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams asked Senator McCain whether Sarah Palin was really the best person to be, literally, a heartbeat away from the presidency. I tried to embed the video, it's at about 3:40, but ran into some glitches with blogspot. Try the link to Nightly News above. The gist of McCain's answer was that Palin's had executive experience as governor, mayor, city council member, and in the PTA.

Honestly. How big can the PTA even BE in a town of 4,000 residents (assuming she was on PTA around 1990)? For that matter, city council of a town that's scarcely bigger than my local high school? If you have to reach this far, the argument can't be very good.
