Like I said Sarah has over 20 years in politics + she was a governor with power unlike Perry who has none. T-paw had a lower unemployment rate then Perry.

Since we're being all pleasant and non-insulting to each other: and then she just up and quit when her ticket didn't get her to the White House.

The 'like I said' angle doesn't really count when your initial assertion was wrong.

Being Mayor of Wasilla is not relevant experience to be President of the United States. Being Governor of Alaska is. There's no other President that was measured based on their role as a small town mayor. It's just not done, and you can't be upset when people don't recognize it for any given candidate as a valid resume point. Being governor, on the other hand, is universally accepted as the best qualification.

Speaking of which, but this isn't the 1970s. The governor of Texas is no longer a powerless position. Clearly, Perry has been able to exert some influence that people have liked and have not liked. Furthermore, the very problem we're in is due to the government trying to do too much. Knowing the limited role of government is a feature, not a bug.

>> Sarah has over 20 years in politics + she was a governor with power unlike Perry who has none. “ <<<<

To be fair, Rick wasn’t pushing paper and exactly stoking the fire himself, before he kicked the door in for politics. Did you catch the photo of what Rick was doing at 22, as opposed to what Barack was doing at 22? Rick was smokin’ our big winged ones across the skies in the military. Obama was smoking pot. You might be interested in just where Rick flew. Check it out.

The office of the governor in Texas is divided with the legislature. Not since LBJ has a governor wielded power like Rick Perry. He packed every Texas department with Republicans at the helm, which left him with no serious opposition and presiding over a state with no democrat in elective office anywhere in Texas. Now, talk to me about the Republican legacy left in Alaska. We are actually talking about Texas, a state who dwarfs Alaska in population. Contrast and comparison between the two are near laughable and will never be used in the campaigns because of that. Sorry, but the facts are what they are and anybody who says different doesn’t have a clue about Texas political power, no matter whose campaign they are coming from, or wishing for.

T-Paw’s unemployment rate is apples to oranges with Perry. Texas had a HUGE influx of job seekers, increasing the population I believe faster than any other state. Adjusting for this, Perry beat T-Paw’s unemployment record like a drum.
