I will be very pleased to vote for Sen Clinton if, by some stretch of the imagination, she is nominated; she is very qualified but so is Sen Obama, more so in my judgement.
You put far too much value on "experience". Arguably, the three most experienced occupants of the Oval office were Presidents Nixon, Johnson and Ford. Would you consider any of them "great" Presidents?
By contrast, consider three of our truly great Presidents and the experience they brought to office.
Lincoln served seven years in the same IL legislature in which Obama served eight.
Theodore Roosevelt's elective experience consisted of one term as the governor of NY; he was the VP for less than a year when he suceeded McKinley.
Franklin Roosevelt also served one term as NY's governor and one as a state senator. And yes, both the Roosevelts were AsstSecsNavy.
I think the people of the this country (the world for that matter) are sicked and tired of living under an cloack of tension, domestic and international, political, military, economic, fiscal, environmental, social, etc., etc.
And I think they just might see "experience" as perpetuating that tension, rather than ameliorating it.
