Obama's not running on Washington experience. McCain is.
Better?
Bottom line; if Sarah Palin is qualified to be president, and McCain's choice of her undoubtedly means that he believes she is, then there is no way he could say that Obama is unqualified with a straight face. The U.S. is not leaning Republican this year, and McCain's only chance seems to be to convince people that Obama is incapable of being president. By endorsing someone with less experience than Obama as being capable, McCain has shot himself in the foot. I don't see how you could respond to this without deluding yourself, but I'm sure you'll do your best.0 -

It's so ridiculously stupid for Obama to accuse the VP of the other side of being inexperienced. And every time he does it, McCain will retort:
Obama. Junior senator for 2 years. Presidential candidate.
Palin. Governor of the largest state in US for 2 years. Vice[/] presidential candidate.
If anything, Biden should be the prez candidate and Obama should be the VP. Obama is completely unqualified to be president - the only foreign policy experience he's got is a speech he gave in 2002.
Alaska, largest landmass State with most of it still uninhabited and uninhabitable - Population rounded off 650,000. Most of Alaska is federal land and is controlled by the Department of Interior or under treaties with Native American tribes. The Governor to scores of villages.
Illinois population rounded off - 12.8 million.
Obama is a U.S. Senator, as is McCain so demeaning the title for one is the same as the other.SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.0 -

lol! Your comparison is bullshit.
Why are you comparing Palin's state to Obama's state? She the VP and he's the Prez candidate.
Since BIDEN is Obama's VP pick, why not compare Palin's state to Biden's state?
Oh, perhaps it's because Delaware's population is 850,000. So, 600,000 Alaskans vs. 850,000 Delawarians. Is that really what matters? 150,000 people?
Is this election really about state populations? Why do leftist scum have such a disdain for small towns full of white people?
The Leftist scum hate small town folks and it's going to cost them. Obama's obvious disdain for small town people and their clinging to Bibles and guns is insulting and it will work wonders for the Republican party.
Palin is excellent. This pick pisses of the leftist scum because it's so brilliant. I hate John McCain, but Palin is a gem.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

You're the one who cited her being governor of the country's largest state as an advantage. The counter-point was that population-wise, it's not very big at all and that a lot of the land is under federal control. You're floundering about like a fish out of water here.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmgphotos/sets/72157600802942672/">My Pearl Jam Photos</a>

You know, I just heard the ever-illustrious Sean Hannity throw in "community organizer" along with some other supposedly less odious Obama characteristics. The problem is people are stupid enough to believe this is an insult. Community organizing such as the kind Obama worked on, he help people tackle unemployment issues, lack of adequate housing, organized and engineered voter regisration. In this job, he had to use the skills of building coalitions, reaching across the aisle and convincing people not of his like mind about his convictions and positions, and facing the potential unpopularity and difficult of his endeavors.
But yeah, none of that has anything to do with being president.0 -

Nah brah, I said largest as in largest geographic size. And that involves a great deal of executive experience. Alaska isn't your basic New England shithole state - it's got foreign policy issues.
Ol rights, territorial fishing waters, Russia to its east. Just because it has a small population doesn't mean that running that state is a simple task. Governors must always be great leaders - senators can dabble in DC outside of executive decision-making.
The person who runs Alaska is a major executive, not a junior senator from Chicago. Obama hasn't done jack - Palin took on corrupt politicians from her own political party.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

She challenged corruption in her state. You sound like you need to read a bit more about her.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

She sounds fine; although I don't agree with most of her positions, she seems like she has alot of integrity. The problem is not with her; the problem is with the weakness of McCain's 'experience' message from here on out.0 -

Russia is not to Alaska's east... rent a globe
And the fact that most mayors of major cities have more constituents than Sarah Palin... is a very viable point.All the rusted signs, we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead...

edit spelling.........
Hell, we don't even need to say that Obama is more prepared; let's grant Republicans that Palin is as prepared for the presidency as Barack Obama. That's still not enough; McCain has said time and time again that Obama is "not fit for the presidency" and that his "dangerously inexperienced." What does it say about McCain's judgment when, although he bases his entire campaign on experience, picks someone who, by his own standard, is unfit to lead?0
