    I'm referring to mayor/governor/president of a geographical area. You should care because it's direct experience to the job being applied for.

    so, what did she do that was so special...? why is this executive experience so important...?

    your answer gives no specifics...

    also, I know the mayor of my city is clown who is a real estate broker, thus bends over backwards to the builders and real estate folks...while he may have this golden "executive experience", he sure has hell is not ready to be one pretzel away from the president chair...

    Obama has no exec experience. You can demean Alaska all you want (don't be surprised if the majority of Americans don't like that). It doesn't change the fact that she has 8 years of governing experience. Moreover, the economies she has governed have performed relatively well. Clearly, you don't like her or her policies. Fair enough. But, try to be objective; she has more experience than Obama.

    so, you really don't care about anything else? i am not demeaning alaska but you consider being mayor of 6,000 to be more important to being in the white house than knowing that dinosaurs exist ... i don't ...

    i don't like mccain policies either but i would NEVER say he is not fit to be president of the united states ... NEVER ... nor would I say that about a plethora of republicans ...

    i'm no democrat believer either - so, i tend to think i'm more objective than you think ...

    the single most important fact one needs to know is that she is in WAY over her head ... her experience (which is the only thing you seem to tout) means nothing when she's dealing with a crisis in the middle east where she knows absolutely nothing about the history in the region ...

    Settle. It's important because it shows that the candidate has done a similar job in the past.

    It's clear you dispise her and her policies. I am well aware of that. But, what I'm saying is fact. I could be more elaborate, but that wouldn't change your mind. So, what's the point? You will continue to attack the term executive experience simply because your candidate doesn't have it. If Obama had it and the Republican ticket did not, I'm willing to bet you'd think it's important. That's fine. You don't think it's important. Someone else may because it shows the candidate has done something similar in the past. That is all.

    so, basically you are saying anyone who has been mayor of any town in america is more qualified to be prez than obama ... ????? ... WTF?

    I'm not touting anything. I'm stating facts. You can think you are being objective all you want. I wouldn't agree unless you can admit she does have more experience. I've simply been saying that she has more executive experience (which is obviously a nice resume booster for an executive position) after you said she's not qualified.

    This is getting old.

    executive experience is important because its the only way to see what someone does when the buck stops with them...

    You can't vote "present" when you are the president.

    What I am saying is...

    Anyone who has been mayor/governor for 8 years has more executive experience than Obama.

    ha ha...this is funny...the reason you won't elaborate is because you can't....plan and simple....

    and I'm glad to see you're pulling out the old "blinded by hate" card...which proves you've got nothing but your own closed minded bias...

    If you want to look at it realistically, those restaurants that you've been working at in the big cities are all losing money, make terrible food, and treat their customers poorly...

    Didn't she leave Wasilla $20 million in debt? And don't they now have one of the highest meth lab per capita ratios in the country? She really hasn't had time to screw up the State of Alaska. But I have every confidence in her she still can. Hopefully we get to find out.

    come on, Clop...all I'm trying to do is find out what's so very important about "executive experience", yet no one can define it...or give me specifics...

    See...only someone with executive experience can be blamed for meth labs. Obama can't because he's been busy sitting in a chair in washington, voting with his buddies or voting "present".

    and in the span of less than 2 years she's embroiled in 2 scandals ... scandals which highlight abuse of her "executive" powers ... something i thought ALL people want to get rid of ...

    I just did.

    What about "the buck stops with them" don't you get? You want me to spell out each and every detail of what a governor does, etc? Just look at the criticism presidents, governors, etc get...you ever hear anyone blame the state debt on the legislature?

    I am not bias at all. I'm stating a fact. She has more executive experience.

    You want to know why that matters. I told you because it's applicable to the job being applied for, considering that position is at the executive level.

    You don't like that answer and want me to go further. I've already answered your question, so I don't see a need.

    At least he's there. Palin stayed at home in Wasilla more than 300 nights and charged a per diem to the taxpayers of Alaska.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Who cares about her executive experience when half the shit she brags about are out right lies. I will admit when I first heard about her I was somewhat excited about a Washington outsider being on the ticket, but as I read more about her I realized that this woman is a disaster waiting to happen.

    you've answered nothing...you can't define "executive experience"...you know it and I know it...

    and you claim to have no bias...that's some funny stuff, indeed...

    Actually, as a community organizer, which the Repubs love to make fun of, he was keeping people off of drugs. Can I blame her for trying to ban books though?I guess I just don't see how having executive experience automatically makes you more qualified, when you did a poor job.
