John McCain has had 0 executive experience..
so why are they comparing Palin and Obama? The only executive experience McCain can lay claim to is he is in charge of his campaign as is Obama and which one is running his campaign better? Nuf said.

1. That's right using their fake criterion of "Executive" experience, JSM III has none
Of course I think being one of two senators from a state with 6 million people (Arizona) is far more impressive than being
CHIEF EXECUTIVE --- GOVERNOR ---
of a state with less than 700,000 people.

But you see, the Republican party is that of the corporate elites, so the CEO position is supreme with them. They can pretend the complexity of the organization doesn't matter, although of course it does.

Population of Illinois: 12 million


((Figures are 2006))

5. Every time you point a finger
three more point back at you. I guess they realized that highlighting Palin's experience is a negative for McCain.

10. That is all my husband saw, her looks? Surely considering the state of crisis
this country is in, looks should be secondary? No, not according to the media for a good two days, that was all they talked about..now its about her fundie values....even holy joe is not impressed, he is biting at the bit, he openly states that the repub party has gone far far far right..and that is who is now in charge, the ones who want nothing more but for armegeddon to become a reality, they must seriously hate their lives if they view the end of them as wonderful news...

7. They expect us to believe that this woman has more ...
experience than all of the candidates. Obama has run the law review,was a legislator in illinois, is in the senate, has run his campaign with a bigger budget and more staff and there are many other things he has led. Not including the people on the ground in chicago. What experience does she have working with all different types of people...

13. Obama had a nice counter yesterday about his smooth running, big campaign of two years vs Wasilla.
How in the Senate provided measures for dealing hurricanes and other disasters.

Need to talk about her Gov lack of success. Not dealing with problems, and just giving oil checks away. Three weeks legislature, if I read correctly. Not just size of state.

Certainly need debunk on reforming. Notice when talking AIP, etc, MSM talk of longer ago, earmarks request in Wasilla. Not speech as of 2006 or Stevens video, support as of two years ago.

We must talk about TransCanada pipeline, preferring outsourcing on a financial boondoggle. She is not an energy expert. As flat earther, she is a tool to big oil, however much she may spout alternatives.

14. It was a perfect counter.

First, it addressed the executive experience issue. Even more, hidden under the message was the clear distinction between what appears to be a well-oiled machine that the Obama campaign is right now compared to the utter disaster the McCain campaign appears to be right now.
