The Republican talking points must say that Sarah Palin is just as qualified as Barack Obama. Really? Those Republicans sure think we're dumb. Here are a few comparisons between Sen. Obama and Sarah Palin.
* Barack Obama has an undergraduate degree from Columbia University and a law degree from Harvard University.
* Sarah Palin has an undergraduate degree from the University of Idaho.
* Barack Obama graduated summa cum laude from Harvard Law in 1991.
* Sarah Palin was elected to city council in Wasilla, Alaska (U.S. Census population in 1990, 4,028).
* Barack Obama is a constitutional lawyer.
* Sarah Palin was a beauty contest winner.
* Barack Obama was sworn into office as U.S. Senator on January 4, 2005 for the state of Illinois.
* In 2005, Sarah Palin was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (U.S. Census population in 2000, 5,469).
* Population of Alaska (source: U.S. Census Bureau)
1990 = 550,043
2000 = 626,932
* Population of Illinois (source: U.S. Census Bureau)
1990 = 11,430602
2000 = 12,419,293
* I graduated from Ohio State University in 1974 and there were 7,000 in my graduating class. (That is more than the population of Wasilla.)
Sarah Palin, as Governor of Alaska, awarded the building of a gas pipeline to a Canadian company, because Palin would not allow any other companies to bid. Why wouldn't she let American companies bid?
Sarah Palin has zero foreign policy experience.
McCain's pick for VP shows his poor judgment. Those women who say they will support McCain now were never going to vote for Obama-Biden in the first place.
No way.
No how.
No McCain.
