Ms. Palin also had 10 years' elected time as a city official. And no one seems to be complaining that Mr. Obama was vocal when elected as senator that he would complete his term, but tossed that promise while still drawing a senate paycheck. So, double-standarding is alive and well.

That is a very good point. Also, a senator's job, such as it is, doesn't enthrall the responsibilities that a governor has. It is more of an executive role as a senator only has to vote yes-no, or if he can't decide and doesn't want to take a stand he can do the coward thing like Obama did and vote "present"
Also that tired old liberal taking point of Palin bringing down McCain is an out right LIE. People forget that McCain's poll numbers shot way up after Palin got on the ticket.
