Sorry dread Georgia Institute of Technology is considered a technical school of excellence ....they are the Ramblin Wrecks from Georgia Tech

now, now, texasshoe. Wasilla county? how many folks? 20? budget 10,000 per year, perhaps? and, sports reporter in alaska? commenting on the iditarod? or the wasilla county ice fishing tournament? or walrus races? come on , tex, get real. one week in chicago gives you more experience in government than a lifetime as mayor of wasila city and tuning up snowmobiles.

Georgia tech is decent, but it ain't MIT. you just like the rhyme! you think you are going to be a rapper some day. ramblin wreck, from georgia tech, my foot!

texashoe I wasn't hiding those facts, nor did your extended bio of Palin change my assessment. Are you kidding me? Two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as mayor of Wasilla City, is this supposed to impress me Senator Obama's post heading the Harvard Law Review and teaching @ Chicago is more notable than either of those accomplishments to me, but if you consider mayor of a town of a whopping population of ~6,000 to be lengthy experience that's fine. University presidents oversee larger populations than that.

I don't say her resume is not lengthy to put her down but to show that just because she was a governor doesn't magically make her a superior executive. She has no particular edge on the trio of senators involved when it comes to 'executive' experience as far as I have read. It is an insult to both McCain and Biden to suggest she has more 'executive' experience than them. How does her city council/mayor posts bear whatsoever to my commentary regarding the fact she does not bring executive experience not possessed by McCain?

Tch, Tch Dread,

That city is close to 7,000 residents. Alaska may not have very many population centers but they do have concentrations of population. She has also been proactive in combating high energy prices by a
major victory when the Alaska Legislature passed a bill that authorizes her administration to award a license to TransCanada Alaska to build a 1,715-mile natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s North Slope to a hub in Canada.

The pipeline would be the largest construction project in the history of North America. If completed as hoped within 10 years, it would ship 4.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. The United States imported about 10 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in 2007.

While am usually restrained from speaking bad about anybody, except Belial, all that I ask is for any supporter of Obama to point to one piece of legislation that he authored, not co-authored or business venture that he ran. And what the heck is he going to change. And I quote Hillary C. "When he was a Illinois Sate Senator he voted 130 times "Present" that is neither yes or no. Tax dollars at work

In his speach last night he touched on healthcare for children, medicare is exactly that, for parents who can not afford insurance. Emergency room care is free for those who can not afford it, regardless of age. So why another program if you will not do away with the existing one.

He will continue the tax breaks that Bush implemented-No Change

He wants to give teachers a pay raise- Great, thier all union and get a raise after every year of service anyway. But who pays for that, I do through my local county school tax, the feds dont. Of course every president since FDR has said that- No Change

Dread..... Georgia Tech is rated number four in the USA in the respected US news and World Report survey....behind MIT ,Stanford and UC berkley......thats pretty damn good

Manhatten,

The one thing that most and I mean most people overlook is that Senators and Representatives alike, have no responsibility in the area of administering or developing a budget except for thier office. The implementation of a budget. They only serve the population by the writing of bills that they hope will become law. They have no responsibility in regards to operating the government that they manage under the guidelines and conatraints set forth under the constitutions of the United States or of the State in which they are chief. Senators have no responsibility in managing a force of national guardsmen unlike a governer. I would venture to say without a doubt a governship carries more responsibility in more areas that any one Senator has to adiminstrator, regardless of population of said state. In Short I would say that Yes, she has far more experience in administration and hands-on running of a actual government than Obama has and probably Mcain. That is probably why this will only be the 15th. time in our history a Senator becomes elected president and why most previous presidents were Governers

yes Tex the dems are plenty scared of this situation ....as they find out more about her they will find out how exceptional she is... really exceptional....pilot, runs marathons, member of the NRA hunts and fishes came in second in the Miss Alaska contest...mother of 5 with a son going to Iraq next month that is some of the bells and whistles the political substance is at least as substantial as the empty shiny suit

texasshoe, 7000 people is not a city! a city university, maybe. and all this experience thing is overrated, anyway. to say that McCain has the experience to be president is a crock of crap, because he has never been one. he has been a legislator, just like Obama. the fact that he has been around longer does not mean a hill of beans. would you have voted for Strom Thurmond for president? why not? he had a lot of "experience". he was around from the battle of Gettysburg. what is this longevity thing, anyway/ you can live to be a hundred years old, and have bad instincts. foreign policy? you think George Bush has learnt anything in 8 years about foreign policy? genius trumps talent, anytime!

when the big mouthed old plagiarist Biden reached the senate McCain was in the Hanoi Hilton and Palin was 9 years old
