In truth, she doesn't really have enough experience, but a lot of the criticism I'm seeing could easily be read as both sexist and elitist. Barack doesn't have a ton of experience either, but his qualifications are made manifest by his ivy league education, cosmopolitan background, urban connections and endorsements from other powerful people. I can easily see certain rural, working class voters not being impressed with big city Dems' disdain for her "big state with no people" and her "beauty queen" background. This is the kind of thing that makes the elitist tag stick.
No, idiot, Obama really has NO experience in preparation for being president. His Ivy League pedigree doesn't make him qualified for shit; after all, our dictator also went to Ivy League schools. "Urban" connections, meaning connections to high-placed crooks, and "cosmopolitan" background, meaning race, no doubt, supposedly trump somebody who was a governor of a state, mayor of a town, and somebody on a city council.
Keep it up, people, and Obama will lose all fifty states.
Palin's qualifications may be lacking, but she isn't running for the top of the ticket. So why doesn't Obama get as much scrutiny from the "progressive left?"
