No, your words were:

Mr. Minister, Mr. Christian, Mr. Chuckabee last night claimed that Sarah Palin got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla than Joe Biden did running for president. That would be a lie.

He might have been dicing words, but doesn't make what you wrote anymore correct.

Here it is, in his own words:
Still not clear on the timeline. "Finally" is kinda vague. But we'll check that one out more.

I'm not "kinda right," I'm exactly right on this one, as on the others.
Your right it was 1991. This was the timeline I was looking at and it's a little vague:

The Life of Barack Obama | View timeline

But you are still only "kinda" right. He was a community organizer for Developing Communities while she was in college, etc. However, in 1992 he worked for Project Vote. Is that not considered a community organizer? She was a public official 4yrs before he became one in 1996. How does that make you exactly right? Just curious?
