Answer 5

No, quite the contrary.  The best things come in small packages.  However, as a whole the state of Alaska, of which she is Governor has "a land mass larger than Texas, California and Montana combined.  Alaska is a large state, 1/5 the size of all the other states together, reaching so far to the west that the International Date Line had to be bent to keep the state all in the same day. It's also the only U.S. state extending into the Eastern Hemisphere."  So, my friend, while you apparently consider the city that she was mayor of small, Alaska is a large state.

While Barack Obama has been working in his Senate office 143 days since he first took office in November of 2004,  he has spent all of the other days running for president.  That is Obama's experience.  Yet, he has the audacity to accuse John McCain of selecting an inexperienced Vice President, Sarah Palin.  As a woman, I am inflamed, especially since she has more executive experience, having managed a city and a state, than Obama, Biden and McCain all put together.  Sarah Palin has 13 years of public service with an approval rating of 80 percent, not 9 percent like our Democratic Congress.   She is the most popular Governor in the USA.  Now, if you are among the 9 percent of Americans that think  our Democratic government has done a great job, then Obama is the candidate for you.  Trust me, you will definitely get more of the same.   Palin started as President of the PTA.  She went from that to Mayor of her city to Governor of her state.She put a stop to the bridge to nowhere that would have cost the United State's taxpayers $400 million dollars, saying if Alaska needed a bridge they would pay for it.   One of the first things she did, after she took office as Alaska's Governor was to fire the chef, saying she could prepare the food for her family and then she put the Governor of Alaska's jet on ebay and sold it, putting the money obtained from its sale back into Alaska's piggy bank.   Alaska is a state that matters to every American.  It has the energy resources and she is the leader that supports drilling.  Governor Palin has a real record, a record of incredible accomplishments, while Barack Obama has not managed to accomplish one thing while in office.  John McCain is a real man,  who was not afraid to look past gender and select the best candidate for his Vice President.  Together, they are the change that we can believe in... Together, they will shake up Washington and fix what is broken.  Just so you know, they are both mavericks.  Palin has spent her time in office shaking up her government.  She challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill  That is only one of the many reasons why John McCain picked her as his teammate.  They are both mavericks and together will shake up our government and fix what is broken in Washington.

Answer 6

Sarah Palin has ten years of administrative experience.  That is ten years more than the combined experience of both people on the Obama/HairPlugGuy ticket.  What is appalling is your spelling.

Answer 7

Yes -- it gave her executive experience as did her win with 114,697 votes that put her in the executive position she now has.  How many votes has Obama gotten for an executive branch position?  None?  Now that is appaling.
