According to the official McCain campaign website John McCain has less experience than Sarah Palin
John McCain's website features the following quote from Congresswoman Heather Wilson is large print bold font:

"You know, Governor Palin has more executive experience than Senator Obama, Senator Biden, and Senator Schumer combined because those guys have never run anything." -- Rep. Heather Wilson


Now never mind the fact that it seems pretty ridiculous to claim that having less than two years of experience as Governor of Alaska somehow makes a person more qualified than three men who have a combined total of nearly fifty years of experience in the US Senate.

The fact is that if this is the measure that the McCain campaign wants to use to measure a candidate's experience then John McCain is less qualified than Sarah Palin as well. John McCain has never held any sort of executive office, he went from the House of Representatives to the United States Senate.

According to the talking points of John McCain's own campaign he is less qualified to run this country than a person who just last month had to ask what the Vice President does every day.

2. Yeah, these people overspin everything.
They put the spin out without thinking about what happens if that same spin is applied to themselves. They don't seem to be at all bothered by hypocrisy.
