Murdoch Media Meme: PALIN = CLINTON IN '92
That's what our friends at The Times (UK) are going for:

Of the last five presidents, the older George Bush was a long-term Washington insider, and Ronald Reagan had been Governor of a big state, California, but Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and the younger Bush had little experience of international affairs or indeed of large-scale administration. The Governor of Texas does not have the powers of the Governor of California. If one substitutes Alaska for Arkansas, Sarah Palin is about as well qualified for the presidency in terms of experience as Bill Clinton in 1992.

Desperate, but I bet we'll see more of this meme.

3. Bill was a SEVEN term governor
His first term as governor was a disaster because, well, you just don't know that much after 1 1/2 years in office.

Arkansas governor is also much more powerful in a state with a lot more governing challenges. In Alaska, the government just gets money from big oil and spreads it around. Like Saudi Arabia without the sand.
