I'm thinking 2008 may be the year for candidates with fairly little experience. Everybody seems so jaded with the politicians that they know. I think people might be open to someone with whom they're not as familiar.
Obama already has been testing out a
great line to counter the silly beltway-types and know-nothings who question his experience:
"Rumsfeld and Cheney were the two most experienced guys in Washington and look at the fiasco they created . I'd say good judgement is more valuable than extensive experience."
....or something along those lines. Can't find exactly where I read that quote, but it was a good one. Struck me as something that would be golden in a stump speach, especially given Obama's opposition to the war from the beginning.
