I am inclined to agree with the first part but not the second. Obama had zero resume and he won. So we know it is not just a matter of resume.
Obama had the entire MSM/Hollyweird propaganda machine conducting his campaign for him. I recall first hearing the name BO on 60 Minutes in late 2006 or early 2007 when they announced that he may be the next POTUS. Palin would never enjoy this unfair advantage. Obviously.
