The most delicious aspect of Sarah Palin’s selection as vice-presidential running mate is watching exasperated Democrats claims that she’s a gimmick candidate with little executive experience.

True.

But Barack Obama has zero executive experience, and no record of accomplishment as a legislator. As he himself noted, he began his run for the presidency began the day he joined the Senate. He, too, is a gimmick candidate, appealing to those who just think it would be cool to have a black president.

And Obama is running for the top slot, not for backup.

Sarah Palin is a genuine reformer who fought the entrenched interests in Alaska and won.

Obama is a machine politician who voted against reform in Illinois.

Words. Deeds. There is a difference.
