Repubs are from Mars and Dems are from Venus.

At least she has been a CEO of a company and has experience running a private busines as well as a state. I do not see that type of experience on Obama's or Biden's resume.. How long has Obam been a Senator?


Obviously the people see it differently (clicky)

One year longer than she has been governor. I feel that representing you state at the federal level make you more qualified to lead the country that the governorship. I think people put too much stock in the executive thing.

Also you have to take that poll with a grain of salt. "67% of voters didn’t know enough about the Alaska governor to have an opinion."

If one of our previous mayors made it to congress for the past 20 months after being mayor for two terms, would you think they have the necessary experience to be vice president or possibly president?

Running a city of 8,500 people is like running a single ward here in Lakewood. Maybe it's smaller than a Lakewood ward?

Stephen,

Obama ran a church based organizations for five years, from 1983-1988 on Chicago's South side.

Then he orchestrated the largest voter registration movement in Chicago in 1992 when over 600,000 voters signed up to vote.

He was a professor at the University of Chicago Law School for 9 years, while at the same time being an associate attorney with a law firm.

Then he held the Illinois Senate seat from 1996-2004 where he was the chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee.

From 2004 to present he a member of the Foreign Relations committee, Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, Veterans' affairs committee, and the chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs.

He has passed 20 bills, and introduced 10 more which tackle issues from homeless veterans to school to Iran.

In the state of Texas, where both candidates received their biggest amount of votes...(also showing ohio for the heck of it)..

McCain: Texas 709,477; Ohio 636,256
Obama: Texas 1,358,785; Ohio 979,025

Oh and I forgot to mention that he graduated magna cum laude from the top law school in the Country, if not the world, Harvard, and was the president of the Harvard Law Review.

So Stephen, I don't think the republican VP's (I still don't know her name?) resume of 20 months in the senate, being a CEO, running a TOWN of 8,500 people, being a soccer coach for a rec league and knowing how to do CPR is more qualified than Obama's.

Ivor, she has been Governor of Alaska for 20 months..

lol... A senator does not even half of the responsibility of a Governor...

[Ivor Karabatkovic]

Oops my bad. Typo. I meant governor.

I love how the republican voters bash Barack Obama for having "no experience" and a short resume, but firmly stick up to a Governor that has 20 months of serving the State of Alaska.

20 months! that's it! no committees, no experience that can benefit the commonwealth of everyone in the United States.

I'm ashamed to say that just like the republican candidate for president, his candidate for vice president is just as out of touch as he is with the American people.

Running the free world is not a business, it's a honor, it's a privilege and a big responsibility. It's time that the Republican Party treats it that way.

Senator John McCain had the chance to reach many voters through the latest issue of TIME magazine that I got in the mail today.

Let me give you a sample of the interview:

Q. There's a theme that recurs in your books and your speeches, both about putting country first but also about honor. I wonder if you could define honor for us?
A. Read it in my books

Q. I've read your books.
A. No, I'm not going to define it.

Q. But honor in politics?
A. I defined it in five books. Read it in my books.

Becoming the President of the United States is about serving the people, not about selling five books.

Hey, we have only invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.. Did I miss a war or two? Running this Country or State or County or City is like running a business..

Oh yeah I forgot, you voted for Hillary last march.

I wasn't necessarily talking about just you Stephen, I was talking about the Republican party in general.

I love how people say Obama has no executive experience when he's been at the head of what's been described as one of the best-run campaigns in American history for the past couple of years. If he ran any company like he runs that campaign, it'd be a money-maker.

Also, I don't find any mention of her running a company. Steven, can you help me out with a link on that?

With one blindingly tone-deaf, desperate and shallowly-considered decision, McCain not only betrays his quick trigger finger but completely undermines his one and only argument against Obama. In order to feel completely comfortable with McCain, a lot of people were looking for a VP pick that would leave a capable second-in-command in place should he be incapacitated.
Even Palin's mother-in-law thinks she's unqualified.

What this election's going to reveal is that, no matter which party you belong to, experience is irrelevant as long as the candidate agrees with you on more issues than not.

yes... I will dig it up tomorrow..

I agree with Jim that executive vs. legislative experience is overrated. That some republicans claim she has more experience than Obama because she was in the executive branch is laughable. The population of Alaska (600,000) is smaller than that of the greater Cleveland area. Approximately 85 metropolitan areas in the US have larger populations than Alaska.

BS! A Governor has a lot more responsibility than a legislator... regardless of the size of the state..
