Experience (d)?

Like Ing, I have my annoyances too...

Republicans seem to bet that the American public wants 'experience' over the unknown. True, I'd say, in most instances. Sen. John McCain clearly has a longer history serving in Washington. But is that what we want - someone who's been in Washington about as long this Blogger's been alive? I'm betting to think no, not now. At this point, our nation clearly needs something new - some
one that can lead us to something better. OK, I'll say it... we need Change.

You see, to me, Obama has many years of experience. Sen. Obama worked in Illinois government for six years prior to coming to Washington four years ago. Oh, and, get this; George W. Bush had only six years in Texas government (after defeating then-Texan Gov. Ann Richards) and no time in Washington prior to, unfortunately, being elected President in 2000. Who did "W" run against in 2000 in the republican primary? Sen. John McCain - who, at the time, had 18 more years' federal experience than the second Bush.

Should this be an ad?
