Barack Obama - 0 John McCain - 2

The Maverick strikes again!

I knew Sarah Palin's name had been tossed around by the McCain Camp, but I never thought it would happen during this particular election after the selection of Joe Biden. And now, even the VP on McCain's ticket has more political experience than the Democratic presidential nominee.

The DNC Convention? What Convention?

Sarah Palin!

Simply a brilliant move by the GOP!

Check out Governor Sarah Palin





UPDATE:

Barack Obama's first press release about the selection of Sarah Palin questions her experience...SERIOUSLY Obama...SERIOUSLY?

Lack of experience?

Sarah Palin, oddly enough, has more EXECUTIVE political experience than the Democratic PRESIDENTIAL nominee himself. She has been in politics for 4 more years than Barack Obama. So what if it was the mayor of a small town. America is made of small towns isn't it? She is exactly what Obama has claimed to be this entire campaign....a Washington outsider who has actually been a part of REFORM.

What does Barack Obama a Senator/legislator do? He gives big colorful speeches and signs his name to a few things to promote his agenda. A governor, with "ONLY" 2 years of experience, actually fits the name. They govern. They balance budgets, they are commander and chief of their states military (Alaska actually has some of the best trained battalions in the military), they use veto power, they have the power to raise and lower taxes (she did the latter), improves public safety and transportation, and calls the shots when it comes to the toughest decisions a state has to make. And Barack Obama has done what?

In 3 years, he has only accumulated 140 working days as a Senator!

His speech last night wasn't great. He seemed angry and timid. He lacked the inspiration he has had this entire campaign. Somewhere between Pennsylvania and Kentucky he lost the title "Candidate of Change." What we are seeing from Obama is a politicician who is finally realizing...hey, I might not win this thing. After all this DNC whoopla, John McCain and Obama are still dead even, and in some poles...Obama is even behind. That is troubling, because people realize his record and experience is troubling. The last people demeaning Palin's experience should be Obama supporters.

Palin is a Christian who is Pro-life and against same-sex marriage. She is for drilling in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge and has promoted legislation that would rid us of our dependence on oil (her decisions have shown great strides towards alternative fuels in one of the most oil rich sections of the States), she actually TAXED the oil companies profits. She has signed legislation to bring natural gas to the forefront, she gave Alaskans a 1,200 tax credit to fight rising gas prices, she has (in 20 months) reduced the state deficit drastically, she's a working mom of 5 (one of them which has Downs), and she has continually supported the War on Terror by providing troop support and training for countries abroad. She has gotten rid of over 200 million dollars worth of pork barrell spending and wasteful earmarks (Something Obama is on the + side of), she has championed for an ethics reform bill, and last but not least...she actually has gone AGAINST her own party to get stuff done. Barack Obama's CAREER PARTY LINE VOTE RECORD IS 96% compared to McCain's mid-80's percent (don't believe the Obama ad stating 95%...that was in 2002 alone).

I just don't see the logic in that argument. The facts are obvioulsy stated and and her own record, like Obama's, is highly researchable.

I guess people just get caught up in words.
