[Vision2020] 30 ways to a most powerful constabulary

[Joe Campbell]

Palin has, or had, more executive experience than Obama!?! Only a geek  
holding on to a dictionary definition would pretend that Palin had  
more experience than Obama, relevant to the offices for which they  
last ran.

She could not hack Alaska!

You've been critical of Palin and I'm sorry for not noting that, but  
you're more defensive than you should be.
