Reply #57: I wouldn't hold his mayoral experience against him, but the problem

[Morgana LaFey]

I do see is that I don't think he's much of a manager or executive. While that was fairly evident early on in his experience as mayor, I don't think the situation has improved. Having great positions on the issues is one thing but being able to get them done is another. Has he had any leadership positions at all in the House? Has he gotten any legislation of note passed? Is there ANY reason to think he could be an efeective executive of ANYthing? We don't even know whether or not he runs an effective legislative office. (His campaign wasn't much to speak of.)

Further, he continues to allow people to walk all over him in interviews, based on what I saw the other night on one of the shows I watched that had him on (Hardball ??)

Quite simply, I think he'd get eaten alive in this political climate. Maybe he could've been effective if elected pre-Jimmy Carter, but not nowadays, NOT unless there's this leadership talent and executive talent I haven't seen any evidence of.
