I've said before now that, politically speaking, they're both green. But, head-to-head, Palin has much more executive experience that does Obama.
In 2012, different story.
Obama will have 'kept it all together' for 4 years. That is 4 years the economy didn't collapse, Iran didn't nuke us, China didn't call in the dollar, etc. Four years of executive experience at the biggest executive job in the world.
Palin's paltry 18 months of governorship- much of which was spent at her home watching wedding shows, or firing family members that angered her, or going on CNBC talking about her VP aspirations, or speaking at separist events.
She has zero foreign policy, military, legal or economic experience. Her one claim to fame "energy"? I don't think "Drill baby drill" will play well in huge swing state Florida... And despite talking nonstop on Twitter and FOX, she hasn't offered a SINGLE energy solution except "keep drilling" and "ask foreign nations for help cleaning" - and we all know in the 2012 debates she'll attack obama for choosing foreign labor over good ol americans for the cleanup effort...
So I think the 'experience' card favors obama in a possible 2012 matchup. The repubs NEED a person with a shitload of experience - but who is that? I dunno. Woudl have to be one of those governors maybe - or a senator with a ton of military/foreign experience.
