38. Seems like wild spin to me....but
But I'll give you a shot. Can you be more specific?

Is his "executive experience" being a one term (then losing) mayor of a major city? Is that one promotion short of POTUS?

Is his legislative experience mostly city council, state senator and three terms as a congressman in a "gimme" district (plus again one loss)? Is that comparable to someone who has been elected President?

I'm sure "real world experience" sounds good, but to me it sounds like "resume' padding language" for "several years out of politics when he loses".

"Represented a district the size of Vermont"???? Means what? He should have a district population within spitting distance of every one of 435 other congressman out there. Does "one of the top 600 office-holders in the country" put you on the short list for President?

Lastly... What foreign policy experience does he "technically" have? As little as Bush HAD, I'm not sure DK even has as much as shrub had before 2000. Mind you, I'm not talking skill here :eyes: just "experience". Gov of TX does have some minor foreign experience. Of course, by the time of the election, Shrub will have been President for almost four years. DK's website is hiding this foreign policiy experience you mention. Was it his "media consultant" position or his "public utility consultant" position?

As for respect - Well, you got me there. I think we're sniping way too much at each other here. So you have MY apology if nobody else's. I just feel silly arguing over a junior congressmans qualifications to be the leader of the free world. People are mistake "perfect positions/passion" for "qualification".
