Elections 2008: Experience Or Lack Thereof, Please....

Lately Sarah Palin has been sharply criticized for not having enough or any experience when it comes to the matter of politics. Or running a country for that matter.
Or some people are afraid that if Senator John McCain were to become president and something of a near fatal or fatal nature were to occur to him, would Sarah Palin, have enough experience to lead America. And is experience or a lack of it, is what some persons are really concerned about?
Or have most people forgotten that when President George W. Bush ran in 2000, he was governor of a state, Texas to be exact. No one seemed to care then whether or not having or not having enough experience was a factor.
But Sara Palin was not just governor of Alaska, before that, she was also mayor of the town of Wasilla, Alaska. Now, don´t get me wrong here, running a town and or a state is not the same as running an entire country, but as far as having experience goes, it´s better than having no experience in that matter at all.
In comparison, Senator Barack Obama was neither mayor of a town nor governor of a state. To which some persons might say, some experience is better than none.
Sarah Palin may not have been a senator for three or four years, but she knows how to govern a state and run a town. And no matter which way you dissect or analyze it, knowing how to run a town and govern a state equal having the knowledge and experience to do it.
