Therefore, I have no choice but to vote for Obama. Never trust anyone who in a debate, doesn't discuss the issues and constantly attacks the other party.

However Michele's support is not based on the merits of Palin but on the mistaken perception of the lack of accomplishments of Obama. If it isn't painfully obvious at this stage for Michele that Palin is utterly unfit to run for VP, there probably isn't much that can be said to convince her otherwise. Her support of Palin has no rational ground to stand on and as it is with Palin based on ignorance. I personally find it shocking that Palin's profound ignorance and lack of qualifications aren't more apparent to everyone. From NYT/CBS poll, 59% view Palin as unqualified. This number is rather significant and comforting given the cross section of the American public but it really ought to be in the 90s.
