Dan V.,

Your grade-school assessment of Palin and Obama's experience is atrociously transparent.

Why is it that you libs are never without statistics to back up your claims of Palin's inexperience (mayor of 9,000 people, for only 18 months) but you never say that B.O. has only served in the Senate for a total of 143 days?

"Obama: senator for only two years, but quick learner bright, enthusiastic and young"

Where did you get that two years figure? And, from what I've seen, Sarah Palin is also a quick learner, bright, enthusiastic and young.

And I don't think the Obama camp calling anyone "too green" is to be recommended.

This conservative thrown in with the neo-cons? Sounds like nothing but frustration for her in the future. Exposing corruption in Washington is a little bit different than stepping on toes in Alaska.

I thought that if he picked Pawlenty it would be a bad choice, but Palin. Her inexperience far out reach's Obama's. Government experience: mayor of a town with 9000 population, then governor for two years. Her "story" is pro-life, but how many times is she going to have to drag it out in every one of her speeches? She may be "new" and "fresh" but also very, very green. Look at the pairs together:

McCain: lot's of senatorial experience, but flip-flopping all over the place. And since 2000, has voted with Bush 90% of the time.
Palin: almost no political experience at all. Governor of Alaska for only two years.
Obama: senator for only two years, but quick learner bright, enthusiastic and young
Biden: 30 years in the Senate and most of them on the Foreign relations committee. Among the four of them, Biden's got the most knowledge of foreign affairs.

O.K., you pick!

Reformer? Didn't she cut a campaign ad with Ted Stevens? The indicted Ted Stevens?
