OK, I think most folks in America can agree that according to what we see on network and cable news, Obama is a strong candidate for President of the United States. And Palin is relatively inexperienced to be Vice President. It's interesting to see interviewers directly parroting the Obama campaign in this regard. Well, no- I guess we expect it by now. But can Americans outside of the Obrainwashed left actually believe this premise?
Let's get this out: Senators don't become Presidents. Governors Become Presidents. Fact. Palin is a Governor. Hello? How can media portray a Governor as less qualified than a Freshman Senator? One who has no legislative accomplishments that any Democrat spokesperson can articulate? I know how the heavily Democratic media can do this- but how are they not laughed at in their face? I've seen several interviewers skunked when they tried the "she's so inexperienced" talk track on knowledgable folks at the RNC. Newt ate one reporter for lunch when asked about her "inexperience". The reporter literally "hung up" on him and ended the interview because he was going to have no choice but admit Obama has less relevant experience. Guiliani did the same thing. And they were talking off-the-cuff. The truth. Common Sense. The Democrats conversely sound like they're reading off a list of advertising slogans: Bush's 3rd term, worse off now than 8 yrs ago (not their fault of course), evil corporations ruining the middle class, the rich are bad bla bla bla.
Don't Democrats talk about such simple facts of politics? It's so obvious- Senators rarely become President. Governors become President. W Bush was a Governor. Clinton was a Governor. HW Bush wasn't, and didn't win reelection. Reagan was a Governor. Carter was a Governor. So for better or worse, it's clear as day that a Governorship is breeding ground for Presidents. How can Democrats, and especially those in the media, try to convey that it's not? Of course linking the Democratic thought process to reality is difficult for me. I would describe my viewing experience of the conventions this way: It's like watching the History Channel after watching the Sci Fi Channel.
