"Unfortunately, she is not that adept of a politician"

Since when is it unfortunate not be a good politician?

It is certainly fortunate for America that she will not be in the big chair, or a couple steps away. But I assume she would rather be preparing to step into the Oval Office in a little over 2 months than spending 2 hours with Creepy Van Susteren trying to extend her 15 minutes of fame.

So what you're saying about Palin is that while her experience level is considerably greater than Obama's, the fact that she can't give a flashy speech makes her less qualified than Obama who's great at speeches, but void of real experience?

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Your combination of inexperienced youth and mistaken belief that you have a clue heaped on top of your blathering makes for interesting entertainment. I bet your mom is always screaming down to the basement for you to lower the volume on your video games while she not-so-secretly hopes one day you'll get your own life.

How is her experience level "considerably" greater than Obama's? Viewing her experience in the most generous light possible, you could say she has similar experience to Obama, not counting his vast and incredibly well-run presidential campaign (They both have similar amounts of time in higher office (The Senate vs. Alaska Governor), and similar amounts of time in positions of lower responsibility (The State Senate, community organizing, and teaching at college before that vs. positions on various commissions and completely powerless mayor of Wasilla (check out the clip of the Daily Show interview with the current mayor of Wasilla. At the same time as she is defending Palin and saying what a great job she'll do, she is basically admitting that the Wasilla mayor has almost no responsibility in actually running the city government)), and there is no intelligent argument to be had for her having more experience.

As far as her not being able to give a "flashy" speech, you have got to be joking!!! She gives a fantastic speech (just view her speech at the RNC and her initial reveal speech before that), probably besting many of Obama's later in the campaign when he was trying to turn down the lofty sentiments. But there is little substance behind the words, which is revealed all too clearly when she was interviewed. The only way she was able to have any kind of favorable impression from her lackluster and embarrassing debate performance was because the expectations were so spectacularly low after the Couric interviews. There is no "there" there, below the appealing exterior and life story, and that was all too plainly revealed.

So about sum it up, you are beyond clueless. I imagine that most of the McCain campaign was filled with people like you, who couldn't imagine how the "inexperienced" black senator from Illinois could possibly beat the white war hero-maverick from Arizona. Thank God they were so pervasively disfunctional, or Obama might have had a real battle on his hands.
