Incidentally, I don't have a particular problem with her level of experience. I think most of the liberals talking about her experience are mostly just gobsmacked that after making a huge enormous deal about Obama's lack thereof, the Republicans would pick Palin.
EXPERIENCE COUNTS! EXPERIENCE MATTERS! WHO DO YOU WANT GETTING THE 3 AM PHONE CALL? Oh, hey, meet your future vice president! She used to be a mayor of a town with less than 6,000 people, and then she became Governor of Alaska, a position she's held for almost two years now!
Oh, wait. The population was under 6,000 in the 2000 census. Wasilla now claims a population of 6,715.
It's a really tiny town.
Actually, being mayor of a really small town is probably pretty good preparation for going to Washington. You'll certainly have a good idea of how one works with Congress...
