Naso, does your brain work at any point during the course of a day?

Why are you on his case about this? You know he's right for once. Such a person wouldn't get this attention.

Then please explain to us ignorants why Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney are considered top contenders for the GOP nomination. For that matter, explain to us why George W. Bush was a top contender for the GOP nomination in 2000.

Nice try but I actually agree with you on Rudy and even, to an extent, Romney when it comes to experience but the media obsession when it comes to their campaigns doesn't even compare to Obama. I think Thompson is experienced enough.

I think Bush's six years as Governor is more experience than Obama's years as a State Senator and brief time as a U.S. Senator.

Your explanation is amusing, given that Thompson has the least experience of the three (one and a half terms as Senator a decade ago, plus an acting career). Bush held the least-powerful gubernatorial position in the country (in Texas, the Lieutenant Governor holds all the power), so he was also woefully inexperienced.

And, of course, it's not all about experience. Unless you'd like to sing Lyndon Johnson's praises, the most experienced President this side of the Great Depression? Or perhaps you'd like to attack Dwight Eisenhower?

Why wouldn't I sing Johnson's praises when it comes to experience? Suddenly, I'm not supposed to acknowledge great experience because of one's political party? Get a clue.

You've been saying two things in this thread.

1) People without experience make worse Presidents than people with experience.
and
2) People without experience don't win elections.

Yet surely you would say that Eisenhower would have defeated Johnson in an election and also that Eisenhower was a better President than Johnson.
