"I love reading through the thread and watching all the Dems scream about how she has no experience. Yet, when asked about the experience of Obama, they seem to just run away. " - Josh McClean
This was the reason for my post. Just answering Josh's question.
But since you bring it up, I don't like the idea of someone who is a total beginner on national & international issues being " a heartbeat away" from the presidency if a 72 year old who has had melanoma more than once were to be elected. The presidency ages people quickly. If this doesn't concern you that's fine but it does me.

No comparison. Cheney hunts birds, and Palin hunts Moose. Other than in a Hitchcock film, did you ever hear of tourists being warned to stay away from the angry pheasants? http://www.sowal.com/bb/[url=http:/...imgs/smile/animals/animal0024.gif[/img][/url]

okay, who has stolen Miss Kitty's login?
And, he WON the nomination over some of the strongest candidates in his Party.
right on. why people keep comparing palin to obama is beyond me. the people have spoken and nominated him as president. he has worked tirelessly and proven to me and millions his qualifications, intellictual ability, leadership ability, etc. palin has proven nothing to the people beyond alaska. I do not approve or disapprove of her as VP on the republican ticket. I Do Not approve of the republican ticket. any ticket resembling bush and his policies is unacceptable to me.
I've had a great year, thanks!
Good for you, but I said realtors. That's plural (or more than one). It stands to reason that the republican economic theory works for one while many suffer.
Obama went after the slot; Palin was given the slot
One thing to consider when comparing Obama and Palin is this:
Obama made a decision to go after the presidential nomination. No one handed him the nomination. He developed an organization from nothing; he convinced millions and millions of Americans to donate millions of dollars to his campaign; he ran a multi-million $$ campaign against a strong Clinton machine; he won. Yes, I recognize that he's a Senator with "limited political experience"
Palin was handed the VP nomination. And, yes, she is a Governor of a sparsely populated state with "limited political experience"
Do you really think Palin could have pulled off what Obama has done? Their number of years of political experience may bear comparison. For me, that's where the comparisons end.

I'm not a democrat, but I have to admit that's a good point...(but I still like her so far!
