It's fine for Obama to be inexperienced

Mark Halperin of Time, in an article on Friday, wrote about Palin and her inexperience:

Perhaps all of these potential problems will be avoided because Palin, like Barack Obama, will turn out to be a young, once-in-a-generation political figure who can handle American politics at the highest level without the usual experience.

So it's fine to have Obama, at the top of the political ticket, be woefully inexperienced because he's, well, special. Hmmm. I think this says more about Halperin than either Obama or Palin.
