Can the obvious response to this be totally lost on these people?

Palin is governor of the state with the 47th population. Biden is Senator, lifelong politician/Senator to the state 45th in population.

Cali declares wild victory for Biden!

Gotta love when your state's population is almost entirely comprised of people that live in metro areas of cities that aren't actually in your state.

The comment still puzzles me. Why should Palin's inexperience be an excuse for Obama? Why as a Democrat would you want to draw attention to your opponent's vice presidential weakness, when your presidential candidate has the same one?

Obama only has legislative experience which translates to squat when it comes to executive experience. Palin has him beat in that regard despite her limited executive experience.

That is exactly how both you and the Obama campaign are framing it.

I see you have a bit of Michelle Obama's feistiness in you.
