Obama or Palin -- Who Has More Experience?

I'd have to say obama but the fact that were comparing one partys nominee to another parties vice president nominee is pretty sad for the Democratic party.borts

If I compared the Republicans' nominee to the Democrats' VP nominee, would that be pretty sad for the Republican party?

one is running for V.P (R) the other is running for President (D).Tjeremiah1988

R, who's running for VP, has more leadership experience than D, who's running for the most powerful position on Earth.

Nonetheless, Biden has more congressional experience than McCain. If this is an issue, Biden compensates whatever lack of experience Obama has.

Can someone name one thing Obama's done for this country that qualifies him to be president? halfirishhomer

[QUOTE="halfirishhomer"]Can someone name one thing Obama's done for this country that qualifies him to be president? TBoogy

Your statement is so vague that I could make that claim about anybody over the age of 30 and pretend he's qualified for President.:|

she basically killed herself with what she said in the video. I dont see how anyone can defend this so /thread Tjeremiah1988

All she needs is to be told what a VP does. . . . it has no bearing on whether or not she's experienced enough to handle it.:|

But shouldnt she know? Whats even more shocking is that she downplayed the role of a VP saying it didnt seem productive and this was only a month ago.

She was right on the role of VP. There's not a whole lot that the VP can do on his own.

THEO; Yes you could. and if they did that, plus had a high IQ, time in elected office, and a law degree i would say they were qualified to run. TBoogy

Then Palin is good to go.;)

Isn't this more a poll of if you're voting for McCain or Obama than anything?

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="Scarker"]

Didn't Palin say on camera that she didn't know what a VP does?

Obama.

If you can actually comprehend speech, what she was saying is that she doesn't think the VP really does anything, and wants to be someone whose actually working and making a difference......

I say Palin she did alot in her Political Career she even took on the leader of her Party because she found Corruption with those leaders.

Her main point in Office is to get rid of Corruption (Well that is her biggest experiance) She also got rid of that ridiculous "Bridge to Nowhere"

First of all your question is extremely biased.... "Assuming John McCain will die should he be elected" ***** GTFO. Then get this: If the prez. for one party dies then make the prez. for the other party die too. (Oh yeah.... I forgot Obama is "indestructible" world-citizen.)

Come on seriously, this question and circumstances is extremely Bull with a capital "B". You want to know who is more exp. between ppl looking to be a prez. or a VP. If Obama is the prez. then he don't have too wait like Palin does. Again, your circumstances sucks ***. If you want to do it then be it between Biden and Palin or Obama and McCain.... again, the question don't make sense since the circumstances suck based because one person will automatically be prez. while the other one will be the next in line of prez. in the event that the prez. cannot fufill their duties. *** ****.

But to answer your lame question:

Palin has more expirence in the political world. About 1826 more days than Obama has [five years.... Obama 1997. Palin 1992].

THE CORRECT ANSWER: PALIN

Don't worry, everyone's just going to ignore this post, because they know it's the truth.

Palin all the way. She did a lot while she was in office in Alaska, and she knows how to, at least at a basic level, hold a leadership position. I think she is perfectly suited to be a VP, and assuming she has a little time before McCain dies (as stated in the OP) I think she could easily handle being president.

About the video: I don't think she meant "VP? what is that? Is that like cheezeburger?". It sounded more like "What exactly will be my dutiies, because I have major plans". Also, I think the better question is this: Does Obama know what being President entails?

DOS4dinner

Of course he does. WTF, he would not run for a position if he didn't know what it entailed. Its not like Obama is some retarted child who somehow out-campained the toughest democrat family ever. My god people, Obama is a fairly smart guy, surronded by world calss advisors. He has spent most of his life thinking, talking, and acting on and about serious issues. He has been a more productive human than 95% of the people I know, and probably 99% of the people on this board. Do you know what being president entails? My guess is no.

What she really means is irrelevant when it comes to politics and public opinion. How many times has a politician's poorly worded statement come back to do some real damage to their political careers? It happens a lot.

I find it absolutely ridiculous to be comparing the Dems candidate for PRESIDENT to the Reps candidate for VICE PRESIDENT. This seriously just shows how WEAK Obama really is.peaceful_anger

OBAMA?

There should also be a minimum for Lifetime Mooseburgers consumed and ATV races participated in. Those are Palin's strongpoints anyways.

I say OBAMA because im pretty sure it was the Republicans not the Democrats.

[QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"]Regardless McCain wont win. Many dont even know of her and McCain only talked to her 1-2 days before deciding :| This was obviously a desperate attempt to grab Hilary supporters. Also she clearly stated she doesnt know what a V.P does :|. Theokhoth

People do their research. Attempt to grab Hillary supporters?:lol: Yeah, they went with the far-right Conservative who opposes abortion, gay marriage and advocates the death penalty; I'm certain it was for the Hillary supporters!

It was for the Conservatives who believed McCain to be too moderate, and it worked.

Sure, she'll get some Hillary supporters as well, mainly the more conservative ones.

I really did use to love McCain, but he's a different person than he was even a year ago. He's started deflecting questions and just generally started to seem like a man with something to hide which is horrible. It makes me sad that he's changed the way he has and even with has vast experience I'd much rather just have an honest guy with good intentions making the decisions. I mean it's not like he has to know everything anyway. The president has countless advisors and must merely determine the best course of action from what is told to him and I believe that Obama would make better decisions in general for our country. And Palin... I have yet to read/watch anything about her. So why am I here? I don't know... good day then

Together with Angry German Kid, Sparkypants is ready to accept your vote and lead this country to greatness.

It indeed will draw hilary supporters, I like how people think voters actually do research, I'd go so far to say, 50% of Hilary supporters were only voting for her because she was a woman.. And those are the people McCain is trying to reach out to.

Theokoth why are you so anti-obama?Isbrealiompie

I'm not.:| Do you see any bias in my poll or OP?

I have to say Obama but not by much. If Palin received a quarter of the hype Obama receives, McCain would win. It's funny how young people get so much attention. We really put too much faith in attraction.

I also don't know if this has been posted before, but I found this through Theokhoth's link to the John Stewart show. It's a John McCain ad which easily shows that Biden is a bit two-face almost as much as Obama.

Palin's honesty about not knowing how exactly intricate the VP works > Biden's dishonesty
