Hillary Clinton Supporters Ask: ‘How’d She Lose to This Guy?’
whitepaw – you are incorrect on lincoln’s experience. he served ONE term in the house of representative, not 8 years, AND he lost the re-election bid.
He had 4 terms as a state senator and a single term at the national level. Their experience is quite comparable in that regard.
Personally though, I find the experience argument silly. There is a reason for the constitutional requirements. If the founders thought it necessary for someone to have X years of experience, they would have put it in the Constitution. The presidency is an office of leadership and people should vote for someone that can move the minds of the citizenry and move the hand of the legislature. I don’t think there’s any doubt that Obama is the one moving the minds in this election. Hell, the entire vernacular around this election came from his campaign. All the slogans from Hillary Clinton and now John McCain have become endless modifications of campaign themes from Obama. I think that says all you need to know about this election.
