Analysis: Palin's age, inexperience rival Obama's - Yahoo! News
news.yahoo.com -
DENVER - John McCain's risky choice of Gov. Sarah Palin gives him a running mate who doubles down on his maverick image, may appeal to "hockey moms" and other women, and counters Barack Obama's aura of new-generation change. But he may have undercut his best attack on the Democrat.
If Obama is an empty suit, as McCain has suggested, is Palin suited for the Oval Office herself?
She is younger and less experienced than the first-term Illinois senator, and brings an ethical shadow to the ticket. A governor for just 20 months, she was two-term mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town of 6,500 where the biggest issue is controlling growth and the biggest civic worry is whether there will be enough snow for the Iditarod dog-mushing race.

Wow. Aren't we getting lost in the "who is more inexperienced for the job" here? Neither one is loaded with experience, but only one of these unexperienced candidates is running for President. John McCain has been in Washington for over 25 years. He is running for President.

Yes, John McCain has been in Washington for 25 years. In those 25 years there are so many lies, deceptions and cover ups. (Keating 5) He has blown up and acted like a spoiled brat. Years of experience do not necessarily translate into "good" years. A couple may have been married for 25 years leading separate lives and living under the same roof. another couple may be married 2 years and have a great marriage and friendship. Who would be best to hold a class on marriage?
