Sarah Palin's Experience?

Because liberals don't WANT to get it.

Actually, they probably DO get it -- but they just don't want to admit it.

Excellent answer to my question, by the way!

I wanted to add you as a Contact, but your Profile doesn't allow it. (Sniffle, sniffle....)

.

What really gets me is that people look at the population of Alaska and say that she isn't experienced because of that. "Might as well just be a small town" blah blah blah.....the thing is, because it was an executive position the size of the population is completely irrelevant. The executive branch of the government does not deal with the population on a person by person basis. Their job is exactly the same regardless if the population they are governing is 10,000 people or 10,000,000 people. They run the military forces, which governors do actually have...everyone forgets about that, but a governor is the commander-in-chief of all state forces to include National Guard and State Defence Forces, which Alaska has both...., to be the head of the state government, and they make decisions about how laws are going to be enforced. They manage institutions, not people. That is the job of the Senate and House. The size of her state population has absolutely no bearing on whether or not she would make a good vice-president because it is her ability to manage government bodies that is going to be important in that position, and juding by her record, she did a spectacular job at doing that.

Sarah Palin already has more experience she has had to make real decisions, running a state , Obama is a professional voter who is on the wrong side of almost every issue. McCains pick was genius, in the very near future Palin will be our very first female President and I look forward to that day, she is a real conservative and I will support her all the way now and in the future.

Actually I think Palin has more experience. She said today that she has 13 years experience as an elected official....and I think Obama, counting his time as a state legislator, has somewhere around 9 or 10. Plus, experience as a mayor and governor more closely mirrors that of the President than that of a senator.

What they mean by a heart beat away from the Presidency is if McCain should die Sarah Palin would be sworn in as The President.that's "IF" they get elected in November

Watch this and justify her knowledge of civics (ie. what the helll ia VP does)

"...what is it exactly that a VP does?..."

And, the respone from the interviewer:

"It's a pretty big job, you'd be surprised"

And, Barack is not qualified to work at McDonalds? Well, then I think all those burger flippers should apply for jobs at Univ. of Chicago where I'm sure that they'll get hired....right?

So much hypocrisy on this thread

It's a bit of a tough call on both sides. Obama has a small amount of state and federal legislative experience. Palin is a new governor of a state, whose infrastructure and population tend to suggest, outside of mining & resources, that she's more of a mayor than a governor. Before that she was a mayor...of her small hometown.

She didn't get the job because of her experience, she got it because of her political stance, her distance from Bush...and at the risk of offending, her youth, looks and gender.

So having no or little experience and being a heartbeat away is worse than being the President with no experience. Liberal logic I guess. Imagine Obama meeting with Putin "PRESENT"

I agree. And when Obama was faced with the same charge, he replied that he would just surround himself with capable, experienced people. Same for Palin IF something should happen to McCain.

I think their argument is lame.

Obama's entire real world work resume. 145 days experience in the Senate with nothing to show for it, only 3 bills passed. Zero military experience, Quick trip to Middle East, Never physically worked a hard day in his life……Barack Obama barely qualifies to work in a McDonalds. We wont even mention his devotion to extremist, radical and racist religious views for which he was ingrained and worshipped for the past twenty years.Two years as a lawyer and only 14 minor trials. And two years as a "community organizer" with nothing accomplished.

Obama has more "experience" trying to hide the fact that he has none

McCain Palin in 08 all the way!!!!!

She has MORE experience in being the president than Obama has. Obama has simply showed up to a place and said ;ea or ney. She actually governed a large state.

And to Freedom forever or what ever you name was, you're an idiot.
