The experience comparison:

Conservatives like to say that Palin has had more "executive experience" than Obama, or Biden, or even McCain. But that's not much of a metric. The president of the local chess club, by virtue of being in an executive position, outranks Senators on that score.

The relevant question, at a minimum, is:

Who, among the nominees, have been part of the national discussion during Bush's second term?

The Senators. Also Romney. And Ron Paul. All sorts of folks.

Palin, not so much.
