The McCain campaign just released an ad comparing Sen. Barack Obama’s experience to Gov. Sarah Palin.  This is an irrelevant comparison. Palin is not at the top of the ticket, Sen. John McCain is.  It will not be Palin’s policies that will be implemented in a McCain administration, it will be John McCain’s policies.  And as we know, McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time.  Sen. McCain’s economic policy is a carbon copy of the economic policy of George W. Bush.  The McCain campaign comparing their vice presidential candidate to the democratic presidential candidate is an attempt to lull Obama into engaging Palin when McCain is his opponent.  It is McCain that will shape the policies of a McCain administration.  My guess is that once Palin has out lived her usefulness, she will be sent to the corner and told to keep quiet.  McCain will insure that the Bush policies continue if this ticket is put in the White House.  With Palin’s extremist far right views, Gov. Palin is just a female version of Dick Cheney without the influence.  Therefore, the Obama campaign should not be suckered by the McCain campaign into comparing Sen. Obama’s accomplishments to Palin’s, Palin should only be compared to her counterpart Sen. Joe Biden.  This election is about competing visions for America and how each vision will be implemented by Obama or McCain.  Palin’s petty remarks should be sent directly to Biden, don’t stop, don’t pass go, don’t collect $100.
