McCain: Palin more qualified than Obama By MIKE ALLEN | 9/3/08 7:21 AM EST Text Size:
Mounting a ferocious defense of his embattled running mate, John McCain said he is buying a TV ad arguing that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has more experience than the Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama.
In an effort to rev up conservatives, a campaign statement issued a list of critical media mentions that it called “smears” of Palin, who speaks in primetime at the convention on Wednesday night.
The campaign announced: “The McCain campaign will launch a television ad directly comparing Gov. Palin’s executive experience as a governor who oversees 24,000 state employees, 14 statewide cabinet agencies and a $ 10 billion budget to Barack Obama’s experience as a one-term junior senator from Illinois.”
The ad is what the campaign calls “a forward-leaning effort to counter the shameless smears that have prevailed during Gov. Palin’s introduction to the American voter.”
Senior adviser Steve Schmidt gave Politico a statement saying the campaign will have no more comment about the vetting process, which was the subject of more critical coverage in Wednesday morning’s papers:

Now THAT's straight talk.
Gee, I wonder what Bush could have accomplished regarding the few conservative causes he championed if he’d a staff like McCain’s instead of Rove?
Straight Talk is definitely back — the Fighter Pilot has now returned. I am so happy to see the guy that pandered to the media return to his roots of Maverick! Has made supporting him and now Gov Palin a pleasure.
Thanks for posting!
If that’s not an official ad, it damn well should be. You can’t make things much clearer than that.
Love it.
A picture of Palin signing legislation at the governors desk juxtaposed with a poster that advertises “Neigborhood Watch Organizational Meeting” should do the trick...
It’s funny that no one asked Bill Clinton how much foreign policy experience he had as Governor of Arkansas.
This is so freaking sexist!
Many thanks!! Sarah is great. I hope people can see past the Media Bias and understand that!
Oh, spare me the drama. President Bush did a lot for conservative causes, and God bless him for it.

Hello Governor Palin.
Welcome to the White House.
The MSM has pretty much admitted that they are mad because they were no able to break the news about Sarah Palin being the VP candidate. The Media is only asking about the “vetting process” because they were only following the usual list of candidates. They wasted lots of money covering Romney/Huckabee/Guliani/Pawlenty/Lieberman while Palin was off in Alaska not under their microscope.
That would be awesome, indeed! :o)
Obama the racist has spent more days campaigning for office than he has spent actually in his office in Washington. Not exactly a qualification. He might as well say he played a President on TV.
P. Diddy is a spokesman for burger king.
NO BURGER KING .
Excellent - I think we are just about to win folks.
