Question

S a journalist major (Palin) equal in experience to a LAW Harvard Graduate?

Answer 1

Non-issue.  2 points.

Answer 2

That would be education, not experience.

Answer 3

Nope.

However, at least she did earn her degree [unlike a certain soon-to-be former president]... I'm in school now trying to earn my bachelor's degree, and it's tough. I love how she started out doing one thing, or thinking she'd be doing one thing and out of nowhere she's a politician about to accept the nomination for Vice President of the United States; I'm not a republican, but I can at least respect her for that much.

I personally think she seems like an amazing person and politician, I just feel bad that she is being used a pawn so that McCain can pander as many votes as he can to win this election.

Answer 4

I am an educated person, but I'm the first to acknowledge it doesn't mean c**p.  Who cares if a person has a degree, or where they got it from?  Can you imagine all of the untapped potential out there in people who couldn't further their education for a multitude of reasons?  Some can't afford it, some have kids, etc.  I can't handle when people think they are better than others simply because they sat in a classroom and took some notes.  In other words, who cares who has a degree or masters or whatever?  Really, who cares?

Answer 5

Palin has far more experience than Obama.  In fact, she is the only candidate in this race that has executive experience, as she is the Governor of Alaska.  Obama certainly does not have that experience under his belt.  Generally speaking, it is best for the president of the United States to have actually run a state before he becomes president.

Wow! am I impressed. First I am going to share with you part of a quick note that McCain has written about Palin:

"My Friends, I am honored to announce that I have chosen Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska as my choice for the Republican nominee for Vice President. As a father with three daughters, I can't express how proud I am to choose the first female Republican Vice-Presidential nominee. Sarah Palin is a trailblazer and a reformer. As the first female governor of Alaska, she challenged a corrupt system and has been a tireless advocate for reform - passing a landmark bill on ethics reform. She has taken on the old politics in Alaska and reformed the state's energy industry. She rejects wasteful pork barrel spending. She's fearless - exactly the type of leader I want at my side and the type of leadership we will bring to Washington."

The following is an exerpt from a letter sent to me from a friend. His daughter lives in Anchorage:

"GREAT PICK for McCain, As a 10 yr resident of Alaska , I can't think of a better selection for VP. I did not hear her name untill she was overwhelmingly elected GOV. I have a lliberal daughter, who is an attorney in Anchorage. She says that this recent mommy has guts to say no to power brokers in AK such as Hickel,Sheffield, Tony Knowles , to mention some names of shakers and movers .I suggest you listen to her and see for yourselves"

Sarah Palin is the most popular governor in the entire United States of America. She has an 80 percent approval record. Now compare that to our Democratic Congress with a measly 9 percent approval record.

This woman has the executive experience that the other three candidates in this race are lacking. She has run a state, not just been a Senator...Big difference...And she has run it successfully. Sarah is the only one that has that kind of experience, so yes she has got what it takes.  There is life experience and book experience.  Sarah has both, while Obama has just book experience.  How does having a Harvard or any other law school degree equal having run a state?  It doesn't.

McCain has made the right chess move. His choice is brilliant. They are an unbeatable ticket.

Obama is still the most inexperienced candidate in this race and the most inexperienced US Senate in the country.  He has zero experience and has accomplished zero while serving in the Senate.  His claim to fame is having worked 143 days in his Senate position.  Out of that he normally votes present.  A child could vote present.  Sarah, by contrast, is amazing.  She is the ordinary person doing extraordinary things, not Obama.

Answer 6

I wouldn't think so, I believe Harvard is at the top, if not the top college in the US, plus getting a law degree is not the easiest degree to get, besides Obama wasn't fishing or moose hunting before he became Senator he was very involved with helping the poor on the south side of Chicago, with the help and blessing of Mayer Daley.
