Palin had more experience than Obama did (though they both were relatively green), yet all we heard from the TK sloobering folks like you was how dumb she is.
palin had 1 year as goveror when she ran.
Obama had 10 years in state and national senate, and had a great deal of foreign policy committe/travling the world talking to leaders.
If you would hire the 1 year person over the 10 years person, that's cool - but most people wouldn't really believe she had "more experience".
yes, governors do more governing and senators do more legislation, but the overall depth - with her running for president, coverup on troopergate, etc - I don't think her governing of 600k people for those months was really all that impressive.
