OBAMA/BIDEN has significantly more experience than MCCAIN/PALIN

[pathansen]

Just look at the facts.

First let’s compare BIDEN to MCCAIN. I understand he has about 14 years more experience as a U.S. Senator than McCain. 36 to 22? Is that correct?


Then let us compare OBAMA with PALIN starting with today and working backwards:

OBAMA: 4 years as a U.S. Senator
PALIN: 2 years as governor of a state with such a low population (3rd in country) it’s almost the same as being mayor of a large city.

Before that:
OBAMA: 6 years as Illinois Senator.
PALIN: 6 years as mayor of a very small town.

Then:
OBAMA: Harvard Graduate with top grades. President of Harvard Law Review.
PALIN: Attended 5 different colleges in 6 years and refuses to give an explanation. Grades being kept secretive. (wonder why?)

Finally:
OBAMA: Community organizer after graduating from college.
PALIN: ?? Soccer Mom, maybe?

3. Dick Cheney has more experience than all them. So what?

This "experience" theme is just so much red herring bullshit. I refuse to even get sucked into this argument.

7. Didn't you listen to the GOP convention speechs?

Palin and the rest kept inaccurately attacking his experience.

4. Why compare Obama to Palin. Obama's got 18 million votes,

Palin has nada when it comes to getting the nod of running our country.

[pathansen]

5. Because Palin & repubs kept arguing that Palin has more experience

She argued that while she was getting executive experience as mayor, he was "only a community organizer". That's not true. He was an Illinois senator around the time she was mayor.
