Key quote: "Barack Obama claimed yesterday that he has more executive experience than Sarah Palin, saying his role at the helm of a presidential campaign trumps her record as a mayor and as governor of Alaska."

Key quote: "During the primaries, Barack Obama often made a joke of the perception that he didn't have enough experience. 'They say Obama has not been in Washington long enough,' he'd muse, as he did in Concord, N.H., in January. 'They say I need to be seasoned; they say I need to be stewed. They say, 'We need to boil all the hope out of him.' The lines usually generated laughs, but nowadays it sometimes looks like the joke is on Obama; after 16 months, 22 debates, thousands of speeches and 56 marathon contests, Obama may have gotten a little more seasoning than he bargained for."
