Reversing the Ticket Order

My friend Francis Cianfrocca (a fellow contributor at Redstate) had a nice insight in an email exchange about the experience issue with Palin:

"One thing I really like about this is that everyone is comparing their number one to our number two. It's as if Obama were actually trying to be elected VP. And I like making the point explicit by saying that if the Dems are so worried about youth and inexperience, maybe they should just reverse the order of their ticket."
