No difference in Delaware, only one Congressman....he did. He's a Senator, not a member of the House of reps.

...I thought that at first, but, if you look up her record, she did more on a town council and as a mayor than Obama has done running for President the last 3 years. Add to that she is a governor.
It's not the long time service of Biden and McCain, but it's a darn sight more than Obama's.

Reagan won Maryland in 1984, Nixon won Maryland in 1972.
It's better because that fact it even further blunts any of the "inexperience" argument against Obama. That argument is pretty much out of play after today.
So the VP is what runs the country?
So the fact that she went from PTA to City Council to Mayor to Ethics Commissioner to Govenor is no experience?
I think your grasping for anything you can to try and spin this.
Not when it comes to national issues or foreign policy. At least Obama has time in the senate and on the foreign relations committee.
I personally don't think being mayor of a town of 9,000 translates into VP material. Yes, she has been governor for less than two years. Still...
Honestly though, it puts a smile on my face to read how those who have repeatedly criticized Obama for being inexperienced and being good with speeches are now so excited about Palin. Sometimes hypocrisy can be highly entertaining.

why are you comparing a VP pick to a candidate for president?

I'm not spinning anything. She seems like a decent enough person...at least initially. I'm just very happy that the GOP cannot legitimately whine about Obama's inexperience any more.
At least not with any shred of credibility.
Anyway, now I'm a damn flip-flopper, because I will be voting for McCain.
So Bruzilla was right, but not for the reasons he thought he was.

...objectivity test for the day;
On the one hand;

US senator for 3 years or so
on the other;
basketball player
mother of 5

4 year city council
2 term mayor
governor for year or so
city council
Generically, who would you rather be running for office?
...flopping is when you say you do NOT like hamburgers then change your mind because that's all there is and you're hungry.
It is not flip flopping when you say you won't eat a hamburger and then someone whips out the cheese and lettuce and tomato and a nice roll and some onions and ketchup and mustard and pickles.

But there are 365 days in a year that she has had executive oversight where as NObama in 3 years has served 143 days so in retrospect, he hasn't represented sh!t on behave of his constituents for his South Side of Chicago district!!! But as Hillary said, he did give a speech once...
