Why are we comparing Palin's experience to Obama's when McCain is the Presidential nominee?

Question

I think that's pretty sad personally...

Answer 1

Better question why should we need to... she has more

Answer 2

Because when McCain dies in office she will be president.

Answer 3

He will die in office.

Answer 4

Because Obama has so little the left needs some kind of distraction. But as usual they didn't think it through because she has more than he does LMAO.

Answer 5

Because you know you have a weak ticket when even the VP candidate for the opposing party has more experience than the presidential candidate for a party. Everyone already knows McCain has more experience, by also showing that Palin does, it's just an extra nail in Obama's coffin.

Answer 6

Because if mcain dies(he will be 80 if he last 2 terms and has had cancer 4 times), sarah palin will become the president.

So obviously their rival political party will try and highlight the fact that she is young and 'inexperienced'. More inmportanty...

the dem's are doing it as a reactionary attack to the Republicans.

If they attack Palin, it makes it harder for the republicans to question obama's inexperience because it's sort of 'evened out' on both sides now.

You could say it's not as much about Palin as it is about keeping obama safe from the same argument... (if that makes sense!)

The main argument that democrats are making now after Palin's recruitment is that John Mcain's whole motto/campaign slogan is 'putting my country before myself'- so why would he choose a 44 year old lady who has only ever been a governor? they are arguing it was to get cheap votes and appeal to what they see as a swing group of voters who might be upset that hillary wasn't put on the democratic ticket. The democratic view is that if he really was putting his country first, he wouldn't place a young/inexperienced person a 'heartbeat' away from the presidency.

It will be interesting to see how the whole pregnancy issue unfolds....

Hope this helps a bit.

Im a more conservative/ or right leaning Australian citizen and i am really enjoying observing the US electoral race. It's a fascinating saga!

Answer 7

They (libs) will say that he will die in office, hence making her president.  But they fail to say in the same breath that if something happens to Obama that the country will be run by Biden, who is no young buck himself.

Answer 8

Because Palin will be the vice president when McCain wins.

What I want to know is why people say Palin has less experience than Obama. She has more legislative experience. Unlike what the Liberals want you to think, there was absolutely nothing contradictory or hypocritical about John McCain's VP pick.

Answer 9

Mc..who?

who are you talking about... hahaha

Answer 10

Let me explain how this works...if "president" mccain were to drop dead in office (a possibility since he's such an old geezer) then his vp, the inexperienced palin will become president.

palin, who admits she has no clue what the vp even does.

Answer 11

Excellent point.  The libs need to keep in mind that McCain's mother is pushing 100 and still going strong.

Answer 12

Because if he can run for President with his lack of experience, surely she can be vice president with hers.

Answer 13

Because Palin is only one heartbeat away from being the Republican presidential nominee.  Doesn't it scare you that she could be in charge if McCain kicks the bucket?

Answer 14

he im not a liberal and i got that joke from some girl lol

Bristol: "John, I have something to tell you."

John: "Yes."

Bristol: "I'm pregnant. Again."

John: "You're kidding? Not again! What are we going to do? I don't suppose you'd have an abor..."

Bristol: "No!"

John: "Well, lets see. We can't use your mother again. How do we cover it up this time?

Bristol: "John, the Wi and the Boxster were nice, but I need more this time. I'll admit I'm pregnant, and I'll say this guy at school is the father, but I need something big this time."

John: "What?"

Bristol: "Make my mother your VP."

Answer 15

Exactly, their presidential candidate has no experience so they pick on the VP for the Rep's to try and compare? I would say Governor is more like a president than a senator is.

Answer 16

McCain made a point of making light of Obama's experience, and specifically stated that Obama did not have enough experience to be president. Then he turns around and picks someone just as green on the experience side as Obama (or even more so depending on who you ask) to be his VP. It was sort of a contradictory action seeing as how there is always the possibility of the VP taking office in the event something happens to the president.

Answer 17

Because if we compared Obama to McCain's experience... Obama would be left in the dust.

Answer 18

Cuz McCain--who has harped on "experience" for 6 months now---has put a woman on his ticket who, until about 10 years ago, had aspirations to be a sports broadcaster. She went to school to learn how to do THAT. Now she wants to be #2 to the leader of the free world.

If that's all you have to do to qualify, why not get Stuart Scott??

Obama went to Harvard LAW and graduated Magna *** Laude. (actually studied what he's currently trying to do)

This is a legitimate point to bring up ONLY because MCCAIN HIMSELF made it an issue.

Answer 19

Because McCain has experience, libs in a panic, frantically searching for anything to hold onto.

Answer 20

Obviously, you don't get it...the fact that there is justifiable concern over McCain's health and having someone like Palin THAT close to the White House should make everyone come to their senses and vote Obama/Biden.
