Not really, because she isn't running for president, she's basically running for the presidential internship position. You CAN have on the job training for that, whereas it's McCain vs. Obama. If Palin were the nominee for president, you'd have a point. Personally, the democratic ticket looks backwards to me. Whatever you think of Biden, he HAS the experience. Why he's playing second fiddle to a guy whose only national experience consists of 144 days in the Senate is beyond me.

Also, a major difference between Palin and Obama is that she has as much Executive experience as Obama has Legislative experience. Obama has never run anything for ANY length of time. As a governor, you run a state. As a senator, you run your own office and that's it. The two kinds of experience are worlds apart.
