Voters are evenly divided as to whether Palin or Obama has the better experience to be President.Game. Set. Match.
Voters are evenly divided as to whether Palin [as VICE President] or Obama [running for PRESIDENT] has the better experience to be President.
Oh... this is great. The top of their ticket is being compared to our #2.
Right. This angle to the Palin-pick story has got to be the most important subtext to the campaign right now. Zero and his minions have, incredibly, fallen into the trap (which, unfortunately, the normally savvy Kruthhammer has also walked into). The trap is that by engaging in Palin’s experience as an issue, far from taking “experience” off the table, it has placed it front and center to Obama’s great disadvantage.
The fact that voters are evenly divided as to whether Palin is more experienced than Obama is truly incredible, really. Newt is right: the meme is now Obama v. Palin—even if he wins that contest amongst the great hordes of the misinformed, it merely emphasizes the fact that McCain beats Obama hands down in that department. The very notion that the MSM and Ds are now vocally resting their case for Obama on the prediction of McCain’s death in office is incredibly absurd. By that logic, Presidential candidates should always be younger and less experienced than their running mates. Ok; I guess that is what they think, which is why they will lose this election.
Biden, btw, has become completely marginalized. It’s as if he didn’t exist anymore.
