I want to chime in on the experience issue
As you all have seen, the demos are making the case for the rep.. They feel Palin is not experienced enough to be V.P.. Does that not mean that Obama should not be a V.P. much less lead man. He has less experience than she does.
Im busy right now, but im sure Big Duane will dig up the resumes and post here. He is great at digging internet stuff up.

Give me someone with 18 months of experience uprooting embedded corrupt politicians well connected in the good ol' boy network -- many from her own party -- over Obama's kind of experience ANY DAY!!! Of course, this experience began before she became governor. She was doing this actively while a member of some Alaska state board on Oil and Gas activities -- that is how she got started, holding corrupt politicians's feet to the fire.
I think what is needed is for little miss hockey mom Sarah Palin to make an impassioned speech at the Republican National Convention next week addressing this issue of experience. I think she ought to take a little offense at these attacks. I think she ought to suggest, without dwelling upon the matter, that it is pretty shabby and smells a little like denigrating women who dare to enter politics. Then I think she should go right after the meat of the matter. Ennumerate what she has done and what she had to fight to make it happen. I have to think that her personal story is going to find a LOT of resonance with people. She saw wrongs in government, in her own party. She was not welcomed, she was resisted. She did not get Republican support to run in some of her races (I think for governor, but I may be wrong, probably at the Primary level). She ran anyway and won. She has kicked ASS!!! She is a woman of principle. She needs to get that story out and ask rhetorically, "What part of that experience is not sufficient or suitable for tackling the problems of Washington? What part of that experience has Obama had? Who has a more personal and direct connection to the issues of our military commitments -- me, who has a son going to serve in a forward position in Iraq, John McCain who has flown a fighter jet in harms way and been shot down and imprisoned . . . or Barrack Obama? Who knows more about dealing with economic problems? Me, who has run a family owned business in a harsh context. Me who has fought with the oil companies and successfully levied a windfall profits tax on them to the benefit of my states constituents or Barrack Obama?"
This woman is no shrinking Daisy. I think, if McCain gives her the freedom, she can lay it on out there and give these guys a challenge that they cannot answer. She appears to be "the real deal," something Biden and Obama definitely ARE NOT. McCain took the risk of doing something outside the box. Go with it man, play the position you have created for yourself on the chess board. Make this campaign about CHANGE and coopt this empty word that Obama has been foppishly brandishing and give it a real life and real meaning punctuated by the specific accomplishments of Sarah Palin. What accomplishments does Obama have to ennumerate?

Let me say as an IL. resident, I have seen nothing good Bama has done, unless of course you live in Chicago. He has helped screw the rest of the state. BTW- didn't he support Mayor Daly in outlawing ownership of semi-auto firearms in Chicago? Yes that includes shotguns!

You sure don't live in Chicago. Obama opposed the forces of the status quo (remember his run against Bobby Rush?) and always has been an independent Democrat. There's something called IVI-IPO which backed Obama and was formed 30 years ago to fight the Daley machine. Its the Independent Voters of Illinois.
There are no shotguns or pistols outlawed in Chicago. Other than shotguns without the "sportsman's plug"Chicago regulations follow federal law. My firearms are registered and legal in Chicago.
Obama was elected to the Senate winning just about every county in a state which is 12% black. What does that tell you?
How many foreign affairs briefings did Palin attend as governor of Alaska or mayor of a town of 9,000? Is she congnizant of constitutional theory? She admitted that she does not even know the constitutional duties of the VP. Obama is a constitutional scholar and visited foreign countries with IN GOP Sen. Dick Lugar, as a member of foreign affairs.
Sorry, Palins' pales next to Obama's accomplishments.
As I said in another post, if McCain dies, she is in charge of war. Thats gut bustin funny stuff
