There's no comparison between Obama's experience and Palin's. He's has more experience but most importantly he's being tested/evaluated on the national scene as the <B>presidential</B> candidate.<BR/><BR/>From the few things I've read about Palin and what she's said lately, I'm not impressed. She was a small-town mayor, and bounced into the gov's seat in Alaska--a state smaller than many US cities!<BR/><BR/>The good thing is that perhaps the US (a good size of us anyway) is getting over racial and sexist barriers.<BR/><BR/>Mac is reacting, not taking the initiative, which is good from my perspective. He has misjudged--with the help of conservative media--the situation with women supporting Hillary and losing.<BR/><BR/>Palin will get the attention of women, but not their votes. Women will break for Obama. It's the white men who are up for grabs!!!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253150846911854844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774506.post-85167394210629219322008-08-31T21:38:00.000-04:002008-08-31T21:38:00.000-04:00Do you think gov.

Further, that so many Americans believe crazy stuff! I've wrote on this several times before.<BR/><BR/>A political campaign is not to educate. If, for example, you think that the soul can exist in a petri dish, or that stem cell research is abortion/murder, I can't convince you otherwise in the confines of a campaign.<BR/><BR/>What I might do is to see if we can both work to reduce abortions or unwanted pregnancies.<BR/><BR/>A campaign and a leader depends on the quality of the people involved. In other words, if most of the people believe in ghosts/spirits or that the sun-god requires the sacrifice of young virgins, you can't argue about the rights of the individual, etc...<BR/><BR/>A campaign is a battle of ideas, yes, and what a candidate would do if elected. Any good-sense leader would most likely fail if the social fabric is not ready to support his progressive ideas & policies.<BR/><BR/>This is also a reminder to all of us progressive liberals who would like to move faster in a certain direction, but the country as a whole can't or won't move as fast as we like.<BR/><BR/>Obama in order to win has to attract people with whom we have little in common. He has to say certain things to get a winning majority.<BR/><BR/>This creates frustration (at least) but Obama meets the minimum requirements, so I do believe he'll be a good skipper to turn the ship into the right direction.<BR/><BR/>The alternative is rather appalling to me!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253150846911854844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774506.post-67165824112972585942008-08-31T21:27:00.000-04:002008-08-31T21:27:00.000-04:00Wait a minute, on one hand you say that people sho...Wait a minute, on one hand you say that people should be more sophisticated because they have knowledge and on the other you say the message has to be simple, without much details....<BR/><BR/>?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774506.post-16579294988511143702008-08-30T11:58:00.000-04:002008-08-30T11:58:00.000-04:00Seriously, Gustav is reckless.
