In all fairness, it's arguable the both are, and both are not, experienced enough. I would agree that Obama is NOT, as he has no experience on either the foreign policy front, nor as an executive of any kind in any way shape or form. He's run - nothing.
In my opinion, Palin IS, as she has the governorship as significant executive experience. Again, it is certainly arguable that her lack of foreign policy makes her not experienced enough.
I don't think Obama was the Democrat's choice just because he's biracial, nor do I think Palin was McCain's choice just because she's a woman. Barrack speaks well to a crowd, and carries himself in a very endearing manner. Palin is a well liked sitting state governor.
The question this makes one ask - would you rather have a mildly experienced governor standing by and advising an experienced, seasoned president; or, a mouthy guy with unimpeachable foreign policy knowledge advising a slick speaking, naive, inexperienced president?
