Well, 1st of all he was a State legislator for 7 years....not a State Senator
2nd, he's been a senator since 2005....its 2008 that only works out to 3 years as a senator....and considering he spent most of 2008 as a presidential candidate i doubt if he hit those 3 years.
and he didn't even serve a year on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; Homeland Security and Government Affairs committees. (joined them in 2007 and as stated before....been campaigning hard all 2008)
and its Hypocritical to spend the 1st part of the year saying that its not the experience of Obama, its that he represents "Change" and then as soon as somebody shows up w/ less experience start pointing that out as a fault.

Obama was a State Senator for 7 years, US senator for 4 years, sat on the committee of Foreign Affairs; Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; Homeland Security and Government Affairs. He has made trips to the Middle East (before his presidential run) for the Foreign Affairs committee.
I certainly don't see how saying Palin has zero foreign affairs or national issues experience makes me look hypocritical.
If she were a war veteran, then it would be hypocritical of me?
