Apparently, Governor of Alaska Doesn't Count

Much as it bothers me to keep defending a woman who believes in Creationism (blech), some things just require pointing out.

While the official Obama campaign has stayed away (in any traceable fashion, at least) from the most despicable and sexist of attacks on Sarah Palin, they have made some bizarre goofs. For one thing, it seems to be the official stance of the Obama campaign that being Governor of Alaska is meaningless. Every response from the campaign has referred to her as the Mayor of Wasilla. Obama compared his campaign budget to her budget as Mayor, and said that meant he had more executive experience.

This, unfortunately, completely ignores this little factoid: Alaska's $8 billion budget for 2008. It's a little transparent when you have to completely ignore her current position to make your point, Barrack…
