Don't even think of comparing Sarah Palin's qualifications to Barack Obama's.
The media is determined to pretend that Sarah Palin's lack of credentials makes her equal to Barack Obama.

Sarah Palin graduated from the University of Idaho, a school where it is virtually impossible to be rejected. She has an undergraduate degree in Journalism. Barack Obama graduated with honors from Columbia University, and was president of the Harvard Law Review.

Sarah Palin was a (short term?) mayor of a city with less than 9,000 residents. Barack Obama spent 12 years in the Illinois legislature.

Sarah Palin has been the governor of Alaska (less than 700K population), for 18 months. Barack Obama has served in the United States Senate for 4 years, and has sat on the prestigious Foreign Relations Committee.

Don't let the media spin this that Obama is as inexperienced as Palin. It's not even close.

3. Bingo
not to mention that before he served on the legislature he worked as a community organizer helping build our country from the ground up. He's been dedicated to service to our country since the day he graduated from college.

5. I thought he was in the Illinois state senate 8 years & then moved to U.S. Senate
Not 12 years in State senate? I could be wrong, but I thought he had 8 in the State...
