Open Sarah Palin Thread — Crooked Timber:

-If the GOP is going to try to claim that by associating with an old Weatherman, Obama has dirtied himself, than we’ve got to hang every single filthy Republican around the ex-Miss Alaska’s neck.

-All the lefties here miss the point that Palin has more Executive experience as Governor than anyone else running. If I were Obama—or even Biden—I wouldn’t go down that road very far. Foreign policy experience? McCain’s got that and besides, Alaska is only State in Union whose border is next to Russia. On a practical every day level—Barrents Sea and Arctic fishery and oil rights, air-sea rescue, military bases whose orientation is to Russia, BEMEWS sites and the State’s logistical support for them, negotiating oil sales to Japan. etc ., she has far more hands-on Foreign policy experience than either Obama or Biden.
