How does Palin's inexperience compare fairly to Obama's? She's on the /bottom/ half of the ticket, he's at the /top/ half of his.

She IS "just a heartbeat away from the presidency"! Anyone either one picks could be president!

Palin is still more experienced than Obama, and she has a proven record of accomplishment and fighting corruption, even within her own State party...

Every border Alaska has is an international border. Palin has had to do more than just pontificate with foreigners ... she's had to actually work cooperatively with them, including he Russians ... and maintain an AK National Guard that would be the first responders to any border incursion, IMO.

Greyhawk, I have to respectfully disagree with you on the inexperience argument ... Palin's experience, as short a resume as it is, still leaves The Top of The Other Ticket in the dust.

And anyone with the testicular fortitude to stand up to the senior senator, from her state, AND her party, and cancel his pet project out of a sense of fiscal responsibility, is some "change" we can believe in.

Greyhawk,

I do respect you very much, but who says that experience is off the table? At the very least Governor Palin has executive experience. I'm still trying to find out what a "community organizer" does??? And do you really need an organizer to build a community???

The experience issue didn't stop the Obama's campaign from attacking Governor Palin's, the only thing though it sheds light on the Obama's empty suit and it makes it look all the more bigger to logical independent voters.

I thought experience was off the table, but it appears the Democrats want it to be a great big centerpiece...
