Oklahoma Exit poll

[Nym90]

Gore never had any real world experience? Please. The man was in the Army for 2 years and fought in Vietnam. He was a newspaper reporter for the Nashville Tennessean and in the homebuilding business. And besides, how is 24 years of political experience not considered "real-world" anyway? Government work isn't real? I suppose my own job in city government is a fake job, that I don't do any "real" work? Sure, he was far more successful than he otherwise would have been due to his family connections and last name, but Bush is much more guilty of that than was Gore.

What "real-world" experience do you consider Bush to have had? He ran his oil business into the ground and was none too successful in baseball as Managing General Partner of the Texas Rangers (of course, they have pretty much always been bad, so it wasn't really his fault).
