Why are we comparing Obama and Palin?

Question

Last time I checked, Palin wasn't running for President. Yet the only thing I have heard from my fellow Democrats is Palin this and Palin that. She isn't the Republican candidate, so why are we constantly comparing her to Obamas experience?!

Answer 1

because Obama is a joke, comparing to Palin. She done more for her state than Obama ever did.

Answer 2

the Dems know their ticket is backwards, and are trying to compensate.  Pretty sad when our #2 guy is better prepared than their #1, huh?

Answer 3

stole the words right out of my mouth canelapop

Answer 4

It's not even smart for them to compare the two. Palin could blow away Obama in a debate. It must hit Obama below the belt to know she can speak without a teleprompter.

Answer 5

Because when comparing Obama to Bush wasn't working, they were out of ideas.

Answer 6

Since the easy attack on Palin is her experience its the attack of the day.  The wierd thing is she has only 2 years less experience then Obama in "high office" and her office provided her executive experience while Obama's legislative.  So when Democrats challenge her on experience Republicans remind people of Obama's lack of executive experience.

Answer 7

Because that's how weak Obama is.

Answer 8

we're not...we're marveling at the judgment exercised by McCain by stacking up his choice against the standard he himself set.

Answer 9

Because McCain is 72 and has had cancer 4 times.Most Americans (outside of Alaska) had no clue who this woman was before yesterday morning, but she will become the most powerful person in the world, if, heaven forbid, something happens to McCain.

Answer 10

"We" are not....It seems the Obama supporters keep comparing them.  It is already obvious and undisputed that McCain has more experience than Obama, so the only person they can go after is Ms. Palin.  

Answer 11

Obama has way more experience that Palin! McCain made a very bad choice..Obama is going to win! I was going vote for McCain but I cant believe that he picked someone with no experience! Im all for a woman VP or President but just not this one! If something happens to McCain and Palin takes over she wont even be able to run the country! Now I see how dumb McCain really is. I am voting Obama...

Answer 12

The dems don't know what else to say.  What really irritates them is the fact that the dems have the choice of Obama for president, who has not accomplished nearly what Palin, who is running for V.P., has accomplished.

McCain-Palin '08

Answer 13

In order for them to underscore their candidate's inexperience they go after the VP choice which probably has if not more experience than him.
