She has more executive experience than Barack Obama

Yes, but it's not the RIGHT kind of experience, don't you know. She didn't attend an elite college, she's not governor of an "important" state (Alaska has fewer people than Chicago, OMG!), she hasn't been elected to a national office so it just doesn't COUNT.

I am being to feel the kind of visceral reaction I used to feel when I would read the Boston Globe's "coverage" of NH issues back when I lived there (NH is my native state and I moved to go to grad school at 31). There is only only major daily paper in NH, the Union Leader, and William Loeb was the publisher for many years. Now true, he was a piece of work, often obnoxious and nasty towards candidates he opposed, and a battle raged between him and the Globe. But it was the Globe's attitude towards NH citizens that stuck in my craw, that we were a bunch of idiots whom you had to throw on their backs to get their shoes on them. I think the media has the same attitude towards Palin and her suppporters and I think it will provoke an unprecedented backlash.

This idea that running for President constitutes enough experience to be President is a novel one.

LOL! That seems to be David Frum's POV, sure enough.
