Right out of Obama's stump speeches. But tell me one other occupation where you would hire that person because they have no experience. Your doctor, lawyer, school teacher, contractor, dentist, taxi driver, or any of the other fields you can think of.
Right out of Bill Maher; would you have brain surgery performed by the wife of a brain surgeon? What occupation hires based on the spouses experience? Oh right the same jobs that you'll surely get if your name is Clinton, Bush, or Kennedy.
This experience argument is, and always has been, ridiculous. Does Clinton really think she can run the experience gambit against McCain? When the dust settles both Dems lose the experience argument, so what's wrong with people supporting the candidate they like, even if they can't articulate the reasons? The fact is that actual experience is slightly, 7 years in the Senate v. 3, in Clinton’s favor but in lieu of stark policy differences people are going to vote for the candidate they like the most.
I’ve heard Obama’s popularity equated with Brittany Spears selling a million albums; you’ll go crazy trying to figure out why it happens, but must accept that it happens.
