Are cons saying Palin is more experienced than McCain??

Question

When comparing Palin to Obama you all say she has way more experience than Obama's 12 years as state/US senator because she has 'executive' experience. Well, guess what.. McCain has never had executive experience either so arent you saying she has more experience to run the country than McCain? Let the spinning begin...

Answer 1

You're right... that is a negative for McCain. Governors have always trumped Senators. But when comparing McCain to OBAMA, he still has more experience... due to his time in DC and politics in general.

I find it interesting that the Dems are now trying to compare the Democratic Presidential candidate to the GOP Vice-Presidential candidate. I've never seen that done before in previous elections. It must really have you guys worried.

Answer 2

Obama has how many years in the Senate? Obama has never held a  real Job in his life!

Answer 3

Being part time mayor of a town of 7000 or running a backwater state like Alaska of 700,000 for a lousey 18 months is NOT experience you can believe in or should even be touting.

Those Republicans really must believe people are stupid. She doesn't even have impressive educational credentials.

Answer 4

Not me...I'm saying they Palin and Obama are about equal in experience.  However one gets time to grow into the role...the other believes that popularity alone makes a good president.

Answer 5

Palin would make a fine school librarian!  

Answer 6

Yes.  I don't think they've done the math on that one!  A bit overzealous perhaps?

Answer 7

McCain's time as a military officer and flying fighter jets off of carriers IS an example of executive experience.  He was faced with decision making 24/7 in that capacity.  The stakes were high and the time to "study the issue" wasn't there.  The results of his decisions impacted other people.
