The bottom line is that Obama has served a grand total of 17 weeks in the senate. His length of senatorial experience has been surpassed by his experience running for president. I don't find that impressive at all.

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, has held an executive office managing a state with a wealth of resources that must be maintained and protected from very influential powers. She has had a key role in developing added resources and taking down corrupt interests.

They can try their best to paint her as lacking experience or being incapable, but she, at least, has a record to fall back on to prove them wrong where Obama has his flimsy resume` that shows he can't even hold down his job as senator for making bids for the job as president. LOL He was at work for 17 friggin weeks over the course of 4 years. Ohhhhh now that's something to brag about.
