First of all I am always a little nervous when some one has the nickname Barracuda, as that species of fish is well know for its toughness, intelligence, speed and viciousness. As for diplomatic skill, well settling the arguments between teenage daughters would be difficult if not impossible for any seasoned diplomat. As for fearlessness: Have any of you seen the Discovery series "The Most Dangerous Catch" about fishing in Alaskan waters? She has been doing that for years. Another thing that the people who make their living from the sea know. That out there when the wind is blowing 80 knots and the waves are twice the high as your boat is long, the only things that keeps you alive is "Faith in your self and Faith in your God." In those conditions, all the money, position, and power don't mean piddly squat. Lastly a tough, smart, honest, public servant trumps a lying experienced politician any day.

Palin doesn't have Obama's experience in dealing with corruption, because she's fought corruption instead of embracing it. Palin doesn't have Obama's experience in dealing with earmarks, as she has refused earmark money. So yeah, Obama is definitely the more experienced candidate. He's just got the wrong kinds of experience. Let’s compare and contrast Palin and Obama:

Obama is lucky his speech got wiped off the coverage. Otherwise we would have spent all day today reflecting on just how conventional a speech it was. And that would lead us to reflect on how conventional his latest judgement call was -- VP choice Biden. And THAT would make us start to wonder, what is it again that is so exciting about this guy? Luckily for him, we didn't get to reflect on that. Unluckily for him, we get to be excited about some REAL folks and some REAL change. What an exciting election year this is turning out to be! Sen.

Palin has no experience. Not a lot, but some -- and it IS ALL EXECUTIVE experience. They didn't mention it, but she also helped run her husband's fishing business before she ran for Governor. Arguably she is the MOST experienced at organizational leadership and reports on her first 2 years in Juno are pretty favorable. She's got real accomplishments under her belt. It’s not true that Gov.
