Palin raised at least $4,500 for her unsuccessful 2002 campaign for lieutenant governor from executives of VECO Corp., an oil services contractor at the heart of a massive influence-peddling investigation. Alaska Republican Sen. Ted Stevens is accused of accepting more than $250,000 in home renovations and gifts from VECO executives and failing to disclose them on his annual financial statements; the senator says he is innocent.

Palin received $500 each from nine VECO executives in December 2001, including then-CEO Bill Allen, who last year pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy, bribery and tax charges and agreed to cooperate in the corruption investigation.

RE:"This woman has been a governor of a state with about 627,000 people in it for a year and a half. My county has more people. Before that she was mayor of a town with 6700 people in it for two years."

That's more executive experience than the other 3 running, combined.

Unless you consider president of the harvard law review which is an elected, token position.
