So, downplaying Palin's experience as a mayor and governor isn't oversimplification?

And that's not an insult, it's just reality. The two jobs don't compare.

He laughed at the comparison. Being a community organizer is certainly a worthwhile endeavor, as are many other things; but in the context of running for President and Vice President, few things compare to the responsibilities associated with being a mayor and/or governor (in Palin's case, it's "and," which Roger Catlin omitted). I think you're reading way too much into this.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the voters eventually interpret the comparisons.
