using alaska geographic proximity to russia and canada as foreign policy experience is pretty stupid

but Obama saying his running for president as qualifier for having executive experience is pretty stupid as well

for every mistake palin did, obama has done the same thing. Obama mistakes just aren’t highlighted and ridiculed repeatively

Exactly why is having to deal with the Russian and Canadian governments on a regular basis stupid?

Insisting that a governor should have vast foriegn policy experience is even more stupid. Palin did work with Canada on the natural gas pipeline. The proximity to Russia and the shared fishing waters is a real issue that requires working with them. No, it isn't negotiating a missle treaty, but it is experience, and all governors work at times with potential business relocations from other states and other countries.

Texas's proximity to Mexico established a relationship between the state and Mexico, and certainly affected Bush's positions and credentials. It would have been foolish for her to fail to bring up this international experience.

I think Bill Clinton's foreign policy experience, prior to his election, consisted of negotiations with Oklahoma.
