Fact Checking McCain's Defense of Palin's Experience

From John McCain:
“I don’t think it’s a short resume. She first ran for office back in 1992. I don’t know what Senator Obama was doing then, but the first time she ran was 1992. That’s 16 years. I think that’s a pretty, pretty event-filled and record-filled resume."

Per WikiPedia:
Obama directed Illinois Project Vote from April to October 1992, a voter registration drive with a staff of 10 and 700 volunteers that achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000 unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be.

So, while. Obama was running a massive voter registration drive on the south side of Chicago, Sarah Palin was running for city council in a town of 7000 people.
