true... true... I don't want other "Bush" term for 4 years, enough with that.
Thompson was Senator for 8 years, not just one term; Obama has been Senator for less than 4 years.
it comes from people people make money and people make donations so obama gets money from people tada
I donated to Obama and I'm not rich either.
The post I responded to wasn't about Palin; it was comparing the two senators.Sarah Palin has never been a Senator.

It says that he is senator since 1997 and elected from 2004.
Personally, I don't follow the point of this trend of candidates' wives (of either party) speaking. We're not voting for first ladies. I guess it's just more of the showmanship that conventions have become. They try to stretch the big froufrous-all out a few more days with more "stuff."Was I jsut watching the RNC or an episode of "Biography"? And either Cindy McClain was sedated, or it was an episode of "Stepford Wives".

He has been a U.S. Senator since 2004.
I wasn't making a value judgment; merely setting the record straight.Still, that's 11 years as a Senator, state and then federal.
More experience than Mrs.Bridge-to-nowhere, I'll support my daughter but not others like her, Sarah Palin.
