mind you, this was in the context of her performance in one particular instance where he was relativly impressed by her, by comparison to what appears to having not cared anything for her in the past. This was NOT an endorsement. He didn't even say that she had the above qualities in general, just that she displayed the qualities one time doing one little thing. I'd further agree that neither her nor McCain are the worst evils on the planet. Just that Obama would make a much better president.

just in a comparison to palin i mean, obviously their resumes are quite far apart.
By: DSALewis. on 24 Oct 08, 03:39:05
Biden has been a Senator for over thirty years and chairs the Foreign Relations Committee. I don't know if it would have added that much to the video...
By: sisforshayla. on 17 Oct 08, 22:01:34
that was good. a quick comparison with biden would have been good too though i think.
By: sunstainedlegs. on 15 Oct 08, 22:21:39
I appreciate your point about not dismissing all of someone's qualities just because you may be in political opposition to him/her but the fault in this argument is ignoring the ethical implications. Even if she did perform well, your analysis does not recognize the content of her performance. This woman is clearly a warmonger, purposely fueling racist fire against Obama and hates gay people... etc. etc. Her performance in no way constitutes the description of "smart, engaged, and tough."

This is well done, but it should be noted that Dawes had NEVER held elected office before becoming VP. Thats less experience than Palin. Also, Wheeler and some of the others from NY were just machine politicans nominated because NY had so many electoral votes. Dallas was nominated by his brother in law. Tompkins became an alcoholic. Breckinridge was indicted for treason. I'm no Palin fan, but these are facts. Find "Vice-Precedence:Being Number Two in The White House" for more.Its here on YouTube

Mr Lessig, every one of your videos are VERY effective in explaining important issues in ways that illistrate what matters. Please do one, as many have asked, on Mr Obama's experience. I've seen all your vids, as such I understand your fundamental knowledge on these issues.

God, are you ever tedious. Get a life. She sucks.
By: chiy1101. on 01 Oct 08, 02:57:20
Forget Palin's experience... she is stupid. Forget McCain's experience... he is stupid (5th from the bottom of his class at Annapolis). Obama is smart. He's curious. He's inquisitive. Bush was so horrific not because of a lack of experience but because he is stupid.

Wow...Good thing we have McCain to lead us next year.
By: sickofmedia66. on 29 Sep 08, 13:43:59
I would like too compliment you on some good researching. I understand that she does not have lot of experience but I am all so respect what she has accomlished in her short time. Then I have even bigger question for you. How would OBOMA hold up too these comparisons and he is running for president!
By: 3cplantin. on 29 Sep 08, 01:40:54
I'd say that by looking forward, Obama has been looking in the right direction.
By: 3cplantin. on 29 Sep 08, 01:40:18
McCain's governmental experience is also exclusively legislative. Also, Wasilla is smaller than some high schools and most universities - a completely different league than the most powerful country in the world. And AK is, along with Hawaii, one of the most atypical states. Mere administrative experience really doesn't mean much. One could argue that she doesn't know the US legislative system as a legislator or through her education.
By: ke99. on 29 Sep 08, 01:19:31
Using that argument (which I wouldn't), McCain isn't qualified to be either president or vice-president since virtually all his experience is legislative.
By: dalcyte. on 28 Sep 08, 16:44:44
as much as experience as Lincoln, k? glad we're clear on that. Good video though. I agree with everything you've said (cept the interview thing...some of the things she said were off-base). Palin has many personality traits that are admirable and make her a good person. But we're 8 years into this century and we've screwed up quite a bit already. We're in a deep hole and picking someone who is a risk is not something we should risk as a nation.
By: bxzbxzbxzbxz. on 28 Sep 08, 08:46:16
The proper question is whether she has as much or more experience in an executive branch of government as previous VPs. Since many previous VPs have never had any executive experience, the answer is in the affirmative. Moreover, and more importantly, she has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined, neither of whom has any executive experience whatsoever. They have never run anything in their lives, not even a bookstore, let alone a state government.

By: smerritt22. on 26 Sep 08, 14:23:54
One cannot argue about the job the George Jr. has done as of late, but it shouldn't be an excuse to make poor decisions going forward. A more likely match would be Biden running for president and Obama as the vice president- At least there would be some semblance of rational selection on the ticket.
By: bjornredtail. on 26 Sep 08, 06:24:14
Palin has been in office for over 10 years as well. Unlike Obama, MOST of that is executive experience, as mayor, chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Commission and Governor, where most of his experience is legislative. The presidency is an executive post, thus Palin IS more experienced than Obama, if a bit less experienced than most of the folks mentioned in Lessig's video.
By: j2willi4. on 26 Sep 08, 01:43:31
great video... though i would like to see a similar comparison between obama and every other president in history.
