Responding to a question after his hurricane-related remarks, McCain made a ringing defense of Palin, who Democrats argue has less experience than their presidential candidate, Barack Obama.
“I think Sen. Obama, if they want to do down that route, in all candor, she has far, far more experience than Sen. Obama does,” McCain said.
He cited Palin’s stint as governor of a “state that produces 20 percent of America’s energy” as well as her previous membership in the PTA and her time spent on the city council and in the mayor’s office in Wasilla, a town of fewer than 7,000 people outside Anchorage.
By contrast, he said Obama “was a community organizer when she was in elected office. He was in the state Senate and voted 130 times present. He never took on his party on anything. She took on a party and the old bulls and the old boy network and she succeeded.”
And I’m still waiting to hear exactly what a “community organizer” is, who pays for that position and what Barry achieved as one.
