Obama (quoted at the end of this article) shows much better sense in dealing with the Palin nomination than some of the people on his side. Sneering at motherhood and small towns is not smart politics. Still, it is hard to miss the way he slides away from the question of whether she has as much or more executive experience than he does, instead treating it as a question about Biden's qualifications. After all, Obama's presidential hopes were launched on a good speech and a few years in the legislature. If Palin compares reasonably favorably in terms of experience to Obama now think how the comparison would have gone four years ago when Obama first was talked about as a presidential contender, or when he first launched his own candidacy.
