    Rove makes a great argument on why Palin was picked as VP, while trying to bash Obama and the choices he might make for his VP. Seems Rove doesn't think someone would dredge up this old video clip. lol.

      “Rove makes a great argument on why Palin was picked as VP, while trying to bash Obama and the choices he might make for his VP. Seems Rove doesn't think someone would dredge up this old video clip. lol.”
      
      And Rove also made it clear that SOME executive experience making decision is better than
      NO executive experience AT ALL.
      
      Why was Palin picked Uhm lets see. Well this goes back to that executive experience or lack there of.
      
      Obama has a staff of 2500 and a budget of 12 million per month (after 19 months that’s more than 1 quarter BILLION dollars)
      
      And all that staff and money has ONLY one goal, servers ONLY one person that is Obama and to get Obama elected.
      
      After what a 40 Minute speech a mom with 5 kids from some SMALL TOWN in a state Obama decided not to campaign in
      
      (although he did campaign in Germany and France, Europe in general, did any of that 2500 staff inform Obama that Europe doesn’t vote in our elections?)
      
      Blew his entire campaign out of the frigging water.
      
      This show’s clearly Obama can’t handle NON-SCRIPTED situations.
      (That’s what Hillary was trying to tell you)
      
      He has wasted 19 months.
      
      Another thing apparently you didn’t pick up on (imagine that)
      
      As a Mayor and Gov, Palin’s executive experience is to serve the people of Alaska.
      
      Obama with a staff of 2500 and a budget of 12 million per month (after 19 months that’s more than a quarter BILLION dollars)
      
      Is to serve Obama and no one but Obama.
      
      Strange why did Obama make a point to highlight this?

  Brilliant advice, from the master, no less. Thank goodness neither of the candidates made the mistake of bringing that kind of marginal executive experience to their ticket.
  
  I challenge Charlie Gibson to play a clip from this video during his upcoming interview with Sarah Palin...and then turn to her with a sweet smile and ask her opinion.

  Holycow! Rove calls the governor of Virginia unqualified, but he has waaay more experience as mayor and governor than Palin. This video needs to be spread far and wide.

    politicians will continue to ignore youtube at their peril. if the major media used it half as well as jon stewart, we would already have a different world.

  Hasn't anybody noticed yet that the phrase...'Executive Experience" is going to be placed in the right wingers Holy Book of Idioms. It will be placed with great reverence next to the other holy idioms....Mission Accomplished... Preemptive invasion...War on Terror...War on Drugs...Terror Alert...Your doing a Heck of a Job..and others. Rest assured it will be done with the appropriate dignity that it deserves.

  That's Rove's take on it, and one can't ignore it completely. However, to completely accept it, one sort of has to go along with the rest of the premises that he runs elections by. Which not all people do.
  
  Having spent the larger part of my life living happily in rural small towns that are not nearly as large as Palin's, I tend to get aggravated at those who knock it. Let them have the pleasures (?) of living in places like NYC, Chicago, or DC.
  
  The story is told of a woman who had two sons. One became an orchestra conductor and was known and loved thoughout the world. The other became vice president of the US and was never heard from again. Historically , the office of VP has been a place tto hide people away. True, Mr. Cheyney has tended to redefine the office; but IMHO that's more due to the inadequacies of Mr. Bush than any inherent power that it may have.

    It would be nice if the person you where picking to be the Vice President at least knew what the job entailed.
    
    And with as old as John is I really would want someone in that position who is ready to do the job of President on day one and not one who will bring her religious beliefs to shove down my throat.

      As to what the VP does, you can look in the civics books we were taught from in high school. they're probably as right , or as wrong, as anything else.
      
      As anyone who does personnel for a big company will tell you, the key time for a new hire is maybe the first month. That's when a person learns what the job is really like--as distinct from the job description. And to an extent that nobody ever likes to admit, people define their own jobs in coordination with their boss. Cheyney's done that with Bush, though I rather doubt formally, and I'm sure a Palin would do it with McC.
      
      I've long felt that I could go into many of the small towns in which I've lived and come out with several people who could do GWB's job better than he could. It's not just a matter of formal education. "Street Smarts" are oversold by and large; but they are real, especially in softer disciplines like government. Personally, I don't get bad vibes about Palin. Can understand that some people might. But many of those people look down upon and fundamentally don't understand where she comes from. While I can't claim to completely, I can do better than most.

  Rove is correct - Richmond Virginia, not being near either Russia or Canada, can not possibly offer the same high level of foreign policy experience that Alaskan's assimilate.
