And yes, Obama has much more experience on the national stage and his state legislative experience way more substantive than her mayordom or governordom. As a reminder to those who still buy the “Obama experience is thin” meme, here's his entire legislative history. It's actually quite impressive. Summary:

Nationally:

Number of bills sponsored: 272

Number of bills co-sponsored: 834

Number of bills sponsored or co-sponsored that became law: 16

Of the 570 bills Senator Obama introduced into the Senate
during the 109th and 110th Congress

25 addressed Energy Efficiency and Climate Change

21 addressed Health Care

20 addressed Public Health

14 address Consumer Protection/Labor

13 addressed the Needs of Veterans and the Armed Forces

12 addressed Congressional Ethics and Accountability

10 addressed Foreign Policy

9 address Voting/Elections

11 addressed Education

6 addressed Hurricane Katrina

5 addressed the Environment

4 addressed Discrimination

4 addressed Homeland Security

In the State Legislature, Obama was “pragmatic and shrewd” (NY Times)

Obama introduced in Illinois: health care 233 bills, poverty 125, crime and corrections 112, economy business and finance 97, education 62, civil and human rights 60, infrastructure and public works 35, ethics 21, administration 21, environment 20, gun control 15, symbolic resolutions 15, military and veterans affairs 6, immigration 1.

Obama has been extremely active for his relatively short time in office, and does have the qualities I want in a president.

LOL, well, at least we have an honest admission. We now have confirmation that even you know that you're simply working at creating a narrative rather than honestly assessing the candidate.

So let's see…executive experience canard…check. No vision…check (Chriswww seems to like that one, I see he's using it already in another thread.) Local newspapers don't like her…check. Not a true reformer…check.

Have I missed anything? Just keep flinging 'em out there, gotta see what sticks…it's politics, y'know.

Palin got hers because McCain picked her.

It's a question of McCain's judgment.

By contrast McCain decided, by himself, that Palin was qualified to be president after 3 short conversations they've had.

So a half a term Senator is qualified but a half a term Govenor is not? That is the rationale your using?

And your questioning my judgment??

She hasnt been vetted. Shes been smeared.

You guys havent even let the speech get out of her mouth and you were smearing her without even learning if anything is true or not. The fact that all this hit the internet in the first couple hours tells me that the Left had it already researched and ready to SMEAR away.

This is not vetting. Vetting is good. Smearing is not. As Elrod post just a few spots up…..Its important that we define her as soon as possible.

Call it what you will. This is nothing more then a hack job that was preplanned a long time ago in response to Barak Obama's smear job.

So you guys need to lighten up with the feigned indignation. You have no interest in ruling to the center or getting along with anyone. Its the lefts way or the highway.

I've not said one word about rather she is qualified or capable. I have simply been pointing out that there is a big difference between analyzing the resume of someone and embarking upon a smear tactic.

Smear away.

As for me I am probably sure that I would not seek employment from a company that you managed. It seems you dont bother to gather the facts before you go off on decision making expeditions.

As for me. Im still gathering the information and the facts before I embark upon an analysis of her abilities.

Thank you for your concern though.

Your vague comment, including the use of the word integrity, show how little you know of what you speak or, perhaps the magnitude of ignorance. You got the last two words right, however:

My bad.

I was watching hbo the other night. Cant remember that tards name but he was accusing her of being a racist to mixed boos and hisses. The more he trash talked her the more fidgety the audience became.

Good one. Keep this up and instead of pounding her in the ground you guys are going to end up in the streets yet again.

Good job. Elrod. Almost every city in America is in debt. They call them municipal bonds to fund progjects. Lord have mercy is this the best smear job you guys can do? Come on. Lets pull out the race card too. Surely shes a Muslim. Secretly runs an abortion clinic.

I cant wait to find what you guys will invent for those strange mounds of dirt in her back yard.

Yeah, I do think it's important for Dems to define her early on. It's politics.

I'm curious what factual mistakes you're talking about. Most of them have been on McCain's side. She did not, as she asserted, oppose the Bridge to Nowhere.

In say that makes her eminently qualified to represent the GOP of today in this election.

In terms of governance, it shows that McCain is more concerned with getting elected than actually governing. It also shows he really is not a maverick. The maverick pick would have been going against the strangle of the religious right on the party. Picking Tom Ridge would have taken balls and shown judgment in my book, not like this pick.
