“What leadership role has Palin completed that’s beyond comparable to what Cain’s completed?”

Sarah Louise Palin is an American politician, commentator and author.

As the Republican Party nominee for Vice President in the 2008 presidential election, she was the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major party and first Republican woman nominated for the vice-presidency.

She was elected to Wasilla City Council in 1992 and became mayor of Wasilla in 1996.

In 2003, after an unsuccessful run for lieutenant governor, she was appointed Chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, responsible for overseeing the state’s oil and gas fields for safety and efficiency.

The youngest person and first woman to be elected Governor of Alaska, Palin held the office from December 2006 until her resignation in July 2009.

She has since endorsed and campaigned for the Tea Party movement, as well as several candidates in the 2010 midterm elections.

Her book Going Rogue has sold more than two million copies.

Since January 2010, she has provided political commentary for Fox News, and hosted a television show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Five million viewers viewed the first episode, a record for The Learning Channel.

OK, wadda ya got to top that?

A few of the things you posted re her “leadership”, yes - but not being an “author” and “commentator”.

The claim was made that Palin had more leadership experience; I was asking about leadership...

Herman Cain led tens of thousands of people in profitable businesses for a few decades. He also completed his stints at his job - when the going got tough, he stuck it out.

What leadership role has Palin completed that compares anywhere near what a major CEO has done?
