Here are a few comparisons I have been able to scrape up about the two candidates. Hopefully, you guys can come up with a few of your own.
AGE; Palin 44, Obama 47
CURRENT JOB; Palin - Governor of Alaska, Obama - Junior Senator from Illinois.
EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE: Palin - Governor 2 years, mayor 10 years, Obama - NONE!
SPOUSE'S OCCUPATION; Palin - Salmon Fisherman and Former North Slope production supervisor for BP oil.
Obama - VP for Community and External affairs at U of Chicago Hospitals - Former Associate Dean of Student Services at U of Chicago - Former Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies - Former assistant to the Mayor of Chicago and Former associate at Sidney Austin law Firm.
REACTION TO SPOUSE'S POLITICAL SUCCESS; Palin - Quit 17 year BP oil job when BP became involved in natural gas negotiations with wife's administration.
Obama - Promoted and given 160% pay raise by U of Chicago Hospitals within months of Obama's election to the US Senate. Employer received $ 1,000,000 federal earmark, requested by husband, after her promotion.
These are just a few things I've been able to put together but I'm sure more and more will come out over the next few months. I just would like to know why it is you think this couple is going to be different? I mean if you are really going to use political in-experience as detrimental to a candidate then you need to do it in both scenarios. Especially on your side because with Biden you have the political version of "The same ole, same ole" as well.
Change ain't gonna happen....trust me!
