Is it true that Gov. Palin has more executive experience than Hillary Clinton?

Question

I just heard that Hillary had no experience governing anything prior to her Senate election. I didn't know that.

Answer 1

Hilary only came to fame from being married to a President. After he left office, she got into politics. Yes-being in the Senate is her first actual "job" in politics.  

Answer 2

Well, yes in a way.  Hillary use the people of NY t run for senate for her presidential bids, she could care less where the senate seat was, she just needed to be in the senate.  As Senator she did very little to help upstate ny which is economically depressed.  She did not bringone ndustry into the area. Palin did have the executive experience by running a city and then the state of alaska which samll inpopulaton has a lot of issues, oil related and their was much corruption which she singlehandly rooted out.  So yes, she ran a smal city and a state.  Hillary wss in the senate so whe did not have to run anything, but spend most of her time forumulatng her presidential bid.   Unfortuanely, NY is very badly represented.  We hae Chuck Schumer who sole purpose is to get democrates elected and standing in front of a camera and Hillary who sole purpose was to run for President.  NY gets 2nd place

Answer 3

yes , she does- HILLARY WAS ONLY A LAWYER FIRST THEN SENATOR. PALIN HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN HER.  she WAS NOT AT HER HUBBYS SIDE during the lazy days at the white hous knitting SHE WAS FAR AWAY FROM BILL BECAUSE OF THE BJ incedent. she turned away and stayed away from him.

hillary used to be a lawyer for the black panthers

the clintons were always corupt check out hillary and peter paul on you tube  she took all of marvel comics $ she then thanked peter paul openly on record  and then later denied she took any money from him with a straight face. and they were FRIENDS.

all i know I WOULD RATHER HAVE A VP WITH LESS EXPERIENCE THAN A PRESIDENT WITH NONE!

Answer 4

Yes, it is true.  She has more experience than any of the old and jealous biddies who are whining about Sarah Palin.  The population of the state has nothing to do with her executive experience.  The state is run in the same fashion whether you have 10 million in the state of 600,000.  That argument made by some democrats is bogus.

Answer 5

well if you want to call what she has experience. New York City and Chicago, each have more people than the entire state of Alaska

Answer 6

Executive experience yes, more experience, no..

I like her as a VP, and I hope she will become VP, then she will be contender for President.

Hillary has done her time. I dont think she sat in the White house knitting why hubby was at work.

Im voting for McCain/ Palin, but I would be so ignorant to say Palin is more experienced than Hillary, she is more experienced than Obama though.

Answer 7

Yes. She is the Governor of Alaska, the head of state. Hillary Clinton is only a senator.    -RKO-   08/30/08

Answer 8

She has more Executive experience than Obama, Hillary, Biden, and McCain.  Executive is President, or Govenor.  The others all have Legislative experience.  You know -  House, Senate.

Answer 9

Please go the state of Hawaii site, The governor there is a woman. Her name is Linda Lingle. She is more qualified that Pallin. Read her biography. What would you have thought if Obama had nominated her for VP. Hawaii has more people and is more diverse than Alaska.  

Answer 10

Now, that is not true at all.

Answer 11

I sure get a kick out of the republican spin machine, how long did it take their spin masters to come up with this gem.    Ask yourself Why would they have to come up with this one?  Could it be because of Palin's gross inexperience.

Actually Hillary was president of the Young Republicans during her time at Wesleyan College for a longer time than Sarah was governor, guess Hillary has most executive experience after all.  See how silly spin actually sounds!

Answer 12

Hillary has no experience in the Executive Branch of the USA government or any other government, unless you want to define experience as knowledge gained by observation.  If you will remember, she was the presidents wife, not the president.

On the other hand, Governor Palin has had hands on executive  branch experience in her role as the Governor of the USA's biggest state, and albeit a small town also the mayor, which is an executive branch position.

Therefore the short answer is a resounding, YES!

Answer 13

She also has more experience breaking the law...oughta fit right in with the rest of the Repugnican party...

Answer 14

Alaska is a really small state in terms of population.  That kind of "executive experience" would qualify the Bronx Borough President to be a VP candidate since his borough is twice as large as the population of Alaska and yet it is one of the smaller boroughs of New York City.  

I also don't think this is a good time to make such comparisons to Hillary Clinton because I don't think that alienating Hillary's supporters was the general idea.  

Answer 15

no if republicans can't bring more to the table than that they should all pack up and go home

Answer 16

Probably not, wasn't Hillary the co-President of the US?  That's what her campaign was saying.

However, in offices one has actually been elected to, then yes, Gov. Palin has much more excecutive experience than Sen. Clinton.  Senator Clinton has more legislative experience, however.

Answer 17

HILLARY CLINTON IS THE BEST

Answer 18

only in her and John's dreams
