Comparing Alaska to Delaware is really stupid [View All]

Sure, they both have three electoral votes, but Biden has been a United States Senator. Remember the United States?

That means he voted on, and learned about, the Federal Budget. Not the Delaware budget, the Federal Budget.

That means he voted on, and learned about, the United States military and relations with all foreign countries. Not the Alaska National Guard.

Every policy that Presidents have proposed since Joe Biden was in the Senate, he voted on, and learned about. Presidents run the Government, based on the budget that Congress approves. To diminish Joe Biden or Barack Obama's experience to less than Sarah Palin's because they have never been President or Governor is ridiculous. As Senators they are seeing the Presidency about as close as you can get without being President or in the Cabinet. They are briefed on and evaluate and approve many of the programs that the President later executes.

Pretty obvious, I know, but it needed to be said. One person stated that by being an executive, Sarah Palin had made decisions that she had to personally answer for. Yet an elected Representative must make that decision on every vote. They decide, vote for, or vote against, and then answer for that from the voters.

Of course, I never thought experience was the thing that mattered the most anyway, but it's ridiculous to puff up the experience of a small town mayor and small state Governor of twenty months and tear down the experience of US Senators and State Senators. Even as a State Senator, Obama had to know more about the budget of Illinois than Sarah Palin had to know about Alaska as mayor of Wasilla.
