20 months ago, Obama started running and Palin was elected gov.
My hubby musing over the paper this morning, looked at me and said, she (Palin) was elected governor the same month Obama started running for president.

Even Tom Brokaw observed yesterday, that Senator Obama has been vetted by the American people for the last 20 months.

Before that Senator Obama was a US Senator helping to pass legislation on the national level to stop nuclear proliferation.

He also had a bill go through to stop corruption in the national congress.

Palin was the mayor of a town of 8400 people.

Before that he Obama was the state senator of Illinois. The largest city in Illinois, Chicago is four times the population of Alaska.

Palin was the mayor of a town of 8400 people.

In a time of national uncertainty and two wars, and the cold war being reignited.

Obamas first presidential decision, the selection of someone who could step into the presidency on day one was to select Biden.

McCain selected the mayor of a town of 8400 people.

Yesterday McCain tried to say Palin had more experience that Senator Obama



She want creationism taught as hard science.

She is dedicated to rolling back Roe v Wade even in cases of rape and incest

20 months ago, Palin was the mayor of a town or 8400 people.

1. This other side is going to push
the Palin/Obama comparison, not the Palin/Biden comparison which is the correct one.

5. Yes they have already and she sinks like a stone in comparison to Obama's experience
Her "executive" experience is how the cynical RNC spinners put things. Executive over a state with less population than a lot of medium sized cities, like San Jose California.

Obama's experience, outlined above far outweighs Palin's. By years, national and international importance.

She has other negatives, far out of the mainstream, whereas Obama has plans to achieve goals a lot of Americans share-- alternative energy development, improve tax fairness and provide middle class relief, make healthcare affordable for all as a first step toward universal free healthcare.

6. And that will not work.. you know why
The experience they are trying to push, is executive branch experience. Of which McCain has NADA.. ZERO..It all backfires. Like a really old car.

2. So being on the city council and mayor of a small Alaskan city
is equal to being a state senator in one of our largest states? Being the governor of the nation's 47th most populous state of Alaska with 683,000 people for 20 months and having been out of the country twice is equal to being a U.S. senator for nearly 4 years from our 5th most populous state with 12.8 million people who has been to many foreign countries and met with world leaders? Not to mentions that millions of Americans had the opportunity to judge if Obama is qualified to be president and millions voted for him.

Is there something here that I just do not get?

3. Bottom line Obama elected 2004 to US Senate from a major state, prior to that served 8 years in
State Legislature of IL in a district with many more people than Palin represented as mayor and maybe just as many people than are in the state of Alaska!

8. In a town that small
the Mayor does not even work one day a week. She is so much LESS than we have even begun to think about. This reflects so badly on McCain.
