Governor of Alaska (pop. 670,053) 2 years. Obama: Illinois Dist. 13 State Senator 7 years (pop. 653,647), U.S. Senator for Illinois (pop. 12,831,970) 3 years. Do I count the 10 years of experience in a rural town of 5500 as good experience? No. Does that stack up against 7 years experience representing 653,647 constituents (a greater number than the total Alaska population) in Illinois' 13th District? How about 3 years of representing 12 million people in the US Senate versus 2 years governing a state that, by population, is one of the smallest in the nation? Not in the same league. Data from the US Census Bureau (http://fastfacts.census.gov/home/cws/main.html). Or was it some other kind of proof? You mean a list of qualifications?
