On Anderson Cooper, Obama compares his executive experience running his presidential campaign — which is for him, McCain and Clinton their longest tenure as executives — to Palin's:
“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We've got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year — we have a budget of about three times that just for the month,” he said.
The McCain campaign, happy to talk about Obama's experience, calls his using his campaign as an example "desperate circular logic" and pointing to Palin's tenure as governor.
A lot of this is hard to predict. "Experience" is as much an impression in politics as it is a resume line, and much will depend on how Palin does when she meets the press and the public.
