Obama has started accusing McCain's VP pick of lack of experience... which is quite something, coming from him! Lets make a quick list of her experience and accomplishments:
1. She has been in public office (from the local level up) since 1992 (longer than Mr. Obama).
2. She has a consistent record from the local level up of lowering taxes and cutting wasteful spending. (this is the woman that stopped the "bridge to nowhere")
3. She stood up to well-established but corrupt politicians and ran them out of her government.
4. She passed a sweeping ethics reform bill as governor which did not squash civil liberties.
5. She fought hard for clean and efficient pumping of oil (without hurting companies or raising prices in the process).
6. She passed a bill to use competition between companies to build a new major oil pipeline.
7. As governor, she has two years of executive experience (rivaling Obama's zero years of executive experience)
8. She has been the "Commander in Chief" of the Alaska National Guard for two years and has made many important decisions as such.
9. She is practical, a very down to earth no-nonsense mom. (very different from the regulars in Washington!)
10. On top of her civic duties, she is a mother of five children.
