They appear to be about equally experienced and attitudinally equivalent. Louisiana and Alaska have much more in common than most would recognize.
Let's see. Jindal has been head of a major state department (Louisiana), head of a state university system, Assistant Secretary of Health and Human services (and many more highly responsible positions). Palin has NO experience equivalent. So I can't agree that they are "....about equally experienced...". The ONLY part of that statement that is correct is that they have served about the same time as state governors.
