Frankly if that's the kind of executive experience you are touting, I'd rather do without it.
I also think executive experience is very overblown. The president is so surrounded by "executives" and other functionaries that he really doesn't need to have any executive experience himself - that's what his Chief of Staff is for, for example.

So in other words, you're ready to downplay the size or importance while playing up the experience of a man in one of the smallest states in the union who hasn't lead a single company and has a job where he never has to be the person solely responsible for the ramifications of his decisions?
I think a much fairer point to be made is that Joe Biden is just as likeable as Palin from a personal standpoint and it's blatently obvious that both of them are where they are at this juncture politically because they are legitimately good people.
