A writer named Jim has repeated the false claim on this site that Palin has more experience than Obama in politics. This is not merely a matter of opinion; it's a downright lie. Obama has 2 years experience as a US senator, which trumps 2 years as a governor. Obama has 8 years experience as a state legislator, which trumps Palin's experience as a city council member and small-town mayor. I hope nobody repeats the stupid lie again about which has more experience. Also, Biden has more experience than McCain.
