I don't see that as Obama bashing. His resume was thin. However Palin's resume isn't just thin, she also just up and quit a major office. Perhaps the gop could stick her in as head of the RNC but she won't be able to win a senate seat.


Your point is well taken. However, given that Senate seats have been won by a former First Lady who never held political office and a comedian with a failed radio show, I wouldn't assume Palin's chances for the Senate are that grim.


I suppose anything is possible but quitting in the manner Palin did isn't comparable to your democrat examples. People from both parties have won major political offices without holding prior smaller elected offices prior. (Bush jr.) There is a long history of that but not this. The closest I can think of is Rudy who had a serious illness at the time. The lame duck explanation Palin gave was just lame.

Fair play!
