Palin went straight from being a mayor of a town with 9000 people to being governor. Palin has been governor since 2007, Obama has been senator since 2005. The 143 days thing only counts the days the senate is in session. But during the off-time the senators do other stuff like diplomatic trips and drafting legislation, so saying those 143 days are the only time he's been working is incredibly unrealistic.

On an unrelated note, Wasilla, Alaska is right near the Matanuska Valley, home of the infamous Matanuska Thunderfuck. I know that now that I said that, someone will vote for her just for that, but I still thought it was interesting. :jointsmile:
