i find it interesting that people are comparing Sarah Palin to Barack Obama. It’s the first time, as far as I am aware, that the #2 slot on one ticket is being compared to the #1 slot on another. IN the end, a comparison like this is always going to come out better for the Republicans who can pull out the trump card: “But she’s not running for President.”
If I was running the Obama campaign, I’d have marginalized her by ignoring her. I would have released a statement welcoming her to the race, and then proceeded as if she wasn’t a factor. The Democrats have decided to go another way with that.
So, if you want a side by side comparison of the two, Red State is offering a pretty entertaining, and fairly accurate, synopsis of the two. The comments beneath it are even more entertaining and give an insight into the nature of the divide between the parties. It makes me think that someone should do a side by side comparison of the Democrats and Republicans. I don’t think it would be as sharply drawn as either side would like to think.
