Blagojevich defends Palin's experience
Posted by Rick Pearson at 12:25 p.m.

Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich admits he can't field dress a moose and his hunting targets tend to be more along the lines of state legislators in his own party who don't trust him.

But Blagojevich, who supports favorite son U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for president, on Thursday criticized Democrats for belittling the experience of Republican U.S. Sen. John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and took a jab at the work of legislators who run for executive positions.

Blagojevich, who has acknowledged in the past voting for Ronald Reagan for president, appeared on WGN-AM's Spike O'Dell show in Chicago on Thursday morning where he said he was a committed Obama supporter and predicted the Illinois senator would do "great things for America."

But Blagojevich, who said he spent two summers after high school working on the Alaska pipeline, readily defended the executive experience that governors have in contrast to legislators when it comes to being presidential material.

"I would hope the Democrats wouldn't say that about a governor," Blagojevich, a former state legislator and congressman, told O'Dell of criticism that the first-term Palin lacks experience.
