The Obama - Palin Comparison

I realize that much ink has already been spilled on the topic, but Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol had the best summary of Gov. Sarah Palin's 2012 prospects.

On Fox News Sunday, Kristol explained:

"In 2004, Obama had given one good speech at the Democratic convention. And Palin gave one good speech in 2008."

My friends on the left will be hard pressed to counter Mr. Kristol's point. Obama remains, even as President, a man who has accomplished surprisingly little in public life.

The experience argument against Gov. Palin, at worst, simply mirrors that of the Democrats' heir-apparent.
