I hear a lot of Palin's inexperience

[quot7quot]

Its true, she has less experience than most VP nominees. The media is making a big deal about this and maybe its justified. My question is why is the media so focused on her inexperience and they never question Obama's lack of experience?

She was the mayor of a small town for 6 years. She was a governor of a state for 2 years. Maybe a little light for someone "a heartbeat away" from the Presidency but:

What has Barack Obama done? If elected, he will not be a heartbeat away...he will BE President!

I contend that all he has ever done is organize some poor people on the southside of Chicago (whatver that means), vote "present" 130 times as an Illinois Senator and spent more than 50% of his time as a US Senator running for President. Oh wait, I forgot, he also wrote 2 books about himself and has given many eloquent speeches.

Someone tell me what I am missing here.

I think experience is an overrated trait.

I think experience is an overrated trait.

That's all you got?

 

[gtc08]

That's all you got?

what do you want a report or something. both have never been president so they dont have experience with that. both are senators. mccain has been a senator longer then obama. people think thats good people think thats bad. simple as that. badda bing badda boom.

What do you guys think everybody on the right would have said had Obama chosen mayor-turned-first-term-governor Tim Kaine?

 

[BetIt]

"Will all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he's been a governor for three years," Rove told Bob Schieffer. "He's been able but undistinguished. I don't think people could really name a big, important thing that he's done."

Rove even dragged Richmond into his sights. "[Kaine] was mayor of the 105th largest city in America," Rove said. "And again, with all due respect to Richmond, Virginia, it's smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa, or Gilbert, Arizona; North Las Vegas, or Henderson, Nevada. It's not a big town."

I do know a few people from MIT and Harvard and they are so damn smart it scares me. As far as inexperience he has almost 11 years experience at both state and the federal level. A state that represents the 3rd largest city in the country. <o></o>
<o></o>
Palin's inexperience, education and secrecy scares me. <o></o>
<o></o>
Maybe when she releases her school records and does one or two interviews and a debate I can make a rational decision on this ticket. <o></o>

So far I do not like McCain’s message and ideas. <o></o>

yea the education is a plus. harvard law is the premier law school in the country. i think his class voted him most likely to be president to. palin went to some shit like 6 schools and took 6 years to complete her bachelors. more white trash redneck typical act. i dont know where biden went.

 

[codeworks]

Biden graduated from UD in 1965, and went on to graduate from the Syracuse University College of Law in 1968. He was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972, at age 29.

I will say education does not mean everything but I would rather take a gamble with a person that has the intellectual credentials on paper versus a person that has a strange education background.

As a gambling man give me Harvard before

• Idaho
• small Hawaii college
• North Idaho College
• Matanuska-Susitna College
• Idaho

 

[gtc08]

those are all the places palin went?

 

[quot7quot]

What do you guys think everybody on the right would have said had Obama chosen mayor-turned-first-term-governor Tim Kaine?

They would say "Here is a guy with no experience picking another guy with no experience."

 

[quot7quot]

Everyone keeps changing the subject. Talking about how Palin didnt go to an Ivy League school or how Rove ripped on Kaine.

That's not the question!

What has Obama done other than write two books about himself and give speeches that makes Oprah cry?

Whoa there buddy - why hasn't Obama released his record from Columbia for public scrutiny? I admit he has a great looking record from Harvard - cum laude is a proud accomplishment - but you can't release part of your academic record without leaving a lot of questions regarding that part of your academic record you don't allow released for public review.

By the way, Palin has a ton more experience than Obama has - 6 years as mayor and 2 years as governor have it all over being a neighborhood organizer and absentee legislator.

He voted present 130 times - Do you have any idea how hard it can be to avoid a position 130 times?

Obfuscating and avoidance of responsibility aren't easy!
