To put the whole experience thing in perspective, here is a nice comparison chart:

Our liberal media.

Just an aside since only political junkies would still be in this thread.
We had over a week of coverage on Obama's pastor.

Palin's Pastor has said some pretty interesting things as well, but is anyone hearing anything about it on TV? From the Huffington post:

But Pastor Kalnins has also preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war "contending for your faith;" and said that Jesus "operated from that position of war mode."

[quote="RobroyBut here is some interesting stuff, in the context or remembering that she is the governor of Alaska and what that implies in these stories relative to her responsibilities as the Chief Executive of that state...

Ignore the sour attitudes and just focus on the meat of what is said. Especially the last words from Harber.

Let's see how she does in the debate with Biden. [/quote]

On the first one, she has no control over the Coast Guard. How does this speak to her experience?

On the 2nd one, Bush and Putin have a semi-friendly relationship as well. Besides, Dick Cheney is a hunter too. That certainly didn't help in negotiations about Georgia, did it? And is it a good idea to say that war with Russia is a good idea when they're sending bombers to venezuela?

On the 3rd one, I'm assuming those are not national guard fighters that are talked about in the last paragraph where there is a brief mention of Alaska. Therefore, she had nothing to do with any of those exercizes. She hasn't done anything with the National Guard since she's been Governor remember.

On the 4th one, that's the first that I've heard anyone say anything about actual diplomatic contact with Russia, other than proximity. I'd be interested to know actual detail about her dealings with Russia on this issue.

Here's an article I found from the Boston Globe about her experience:

This article fleshes out much better what her experience with US military and the National Guard "experience" actually is.

And I'm very much looking forward to all of the debates. They're going to be great entertainment!

BTW, I had Tim change my name from tarzan to Charles Dean, since I was replying in the blog posts with my real name.

Yeah, on the Russia/Georgia conflict, I still can't believe that most people don't know that Georgia started it.

Granted, I will say that I do believe that Russia knew it was going to happen and was just waiting for it as an excuse to go in and mess up Georgia badly. That still doesn't excuse Georgia for bombing Osettia and starting the problem.
