Point guard on her BB team, lifelong NRA member, hunts, fishes, PTA, hockey Mom + she popped a kid in April. Do the math from the time she was elected.

This is a very busy Mom with 5 kids who manages an 80% approval rating and is pro ANWAR drilling. They listed more on her green record but didn't catch all of it, I'm sure it'll all come out quickly though.
AND SHE'S A BUSINESSWOMAN!!!!

Good for you!
Obama has a law degree from Harvard and was the President of Harvard law Review.
Palin has a BA in journalism from Idaho state.

Obama was an elected state legislator of the state of Illinois from 1997-2004, while teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago.
Plain was an elected mayor of a town of 8,00 from 1996-2006, while taking her sons to hockey.

Obama was elected to Senate in 2004.
Palin was elected Governor of Alaska in 2006.

What exactly gives Palin more experience?

And I think your usually level head and good judgment is coming unhinged in the face of such a power house VP pick. Desperation is a nasty smell.
There was a comparison being made about Palin qualifications vs. Obama's. When we were talking about Palin, American piped up about Obama. That is why I posted what appears to be a similar response to SD.

You want to discuss qualifications between Biden and Palin? Palin is no powerhouse VP pick. Palin was a mistake. Especially after the right wing machine railed on Obama over experience. She is but a babe in the woods compared to Obama. And it doesn't matter that Palin isn't running against Obama, it simply shows how disingenuous the McCain campaign has been on the issue of experience.

And you'd be right.
In all honesty, Palin outclasses Obama so I don't see that as being an unfair assessment. I mean, Palin has held an executive office for a couple of years and Obama has served a grand total of 17 weeks as a junior senator. Before that, Palin held executive position as mayor of a village while Obama was holding raffles and selling spaghetti dinners out of church basements to raise money as a "community organizer". The Governess has a proven track record of ferreting out and eliminating government corruption and has successfully taken on one of the most powerful and influential forces in the state (the oil companies). Obama has Ayers and Wright.

Seems like a no brainer to me in that comparison.

Nothing in biology makes sense without evolution. Medicine combats ever evolving viruses and bacteria. So yeah both those fields do rely on evolution. So does agriculture. You are more affected by evolution than you already know. Evolution is a fact, the evidence is all there.
