Why was being Governor of a small state sufficient experience for Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter?

Question

To run for the office of President but insufficent for Sarah Palin to run as Vice-President?

Answer 1

And they thing being a 'Community organizer' is all thats necessary too.

Libs are unhinged.

Answer 2

I think being a governor roughly qualifies someone to be President, in fact far more than being a Senator.  It's completely different work, executive vs. legislative.  In a strange irony, Palin is the most qualified in a sense of the other three (McCain, Biden, Obama).

Answer 3

You have to realize that both men were elected to change the status quo.

Jimmy Carter defeated Gerald Ford.

Bill Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush.

As far as Sarah Palin goes;

I don't care about her experience.

What makes me mad is that John McCain went off on Obama for not having experience, and then nominates her.

Isn't that hypocritical?

Answer 4

Bill Clinton Govern the United States like a Small State...

he did not lead. He govern..

Palin is different...

and I'm Dem and can see this

Answer 5

It is the old double standard.  What is good for them is wrong for us. That is the mentality. They are always able to rationalize the differences.  But some can see that Palin has made a bigger difference in a very short time, than Carter made in 4 years!
