Sarah Palin is no Bill Clinton -- or Ronald Reagan
By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist

John McCain told CBS' Katie Couric Monday that Sarah Palin is underestimated as a VP candidate, not underprepared. McCain is wrong.

Specifically, the GOP presidential nominee defended Palin (sitting by his side in the interview) this way:

"This is not the first time that I've seen a governor being questioned by some quote, 'expert.' I remember that Ronald Reagan was a 'cowboy.' President Clinton was a governor of a very small state that had 'no experience' either. I remember how easy it was going to be for Bush I to defeat him."

Here's what's wrong with McCain's analogy:

-- Reagan served as governor of the nation's largest state, California, for eight years (1967 to 1975). He had to deal with some of the biggest financial problems in the state's history, as well as all other kinds of issues affecting a state with more than 20 million people at the time.

-- Bill Clinton served as governor of Arkansas for 12 years until he was elected president in 1992. Arkansas had more than 2 million people at the time. Clinton was a leader in the national governor's conference, credited with being a leader on welfare reform at the time.

-- Palin, by contrast, has been governor for less than two years of a state with fewer than 700,000 people. Her impact on the national governor's scene has been nil, given her short tenure.

1. And, of the three, only Clinton had a full-sized brain in his head.

When they have to contort themselves to this degree to shore up SP's qualifications, you know there's blood in the water.
