Is Georgia In Play For Obama?

The point is pretty simple -- there are plenty of examples throughout history of "inexperienced" people becoming excellent presidents and vice versa.

And you know why?

Because there is no job like it -- and even the most "experienced" people in government need a year or two to fully grow into the job -- I mean Bill Clinton spent 12 years as the governor of Arkansas -- which being governor is as close to the experience you can get -- and he still struggled his first few years until he learned the ins and outs of the job.

Experience, when it comes to electing presidents -- or public officials that matter -- is over rated, and given what we usually get from lifelong politicians in Washington -- it is probably more of a negative than a positive.......

 

Will's analysis was all right, until ...

Grover Fucking Cleveland? Is he serious? I'd like to know Will's definition of a "sensible citizen."

Then again, given that Joe Lieberman is considered an example of sensibility among Will and his Beltway cohort, I shouldn't be surprised.

 

Ol' George must have been getting tired.

Or he was overcome from the fumes from the dry-cleaning he'd picked up and was
delivering back to Nancy Reagan.

 

Oh, Naaaaaanccccy....


George Alfalfa Will, 1954.

 

Solid. Damn solid.

 

Though it would appear the original topic of the thread got off track, this is very, very interesting.

EDIT: So this was mentioned on the news and notes thread, but I figure it pertains here too. So there!
