The people who know Palin best have some harsh things to say, as the Anchorage Daily News endorses Obama/Biden:

Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.

Palin may not know what the vice president is supposed to do, but the Constitution is pretty clear on it: be ready to be president. Even her own supporters acknowledge she is not qualified.
