This may've been said in this thread already:
Honestly, Obama's experience is going to be partially based on his age (among possibly other factors that I won't get into). He was born in 1961 and that makes him the youngest candidate and president in a very long time. The other candidates and presidents were born in the 1940s and before.
Soooooo yes it makes sense for his State and U.S. Senate run to be relatively short, factoring in his law school, Harvard Law Review, civil rights attorney, and constitutional law professor stints.
But what he worked on during his political career had an impact. Of course, this impact will be lost on people who expect more time and impact from a candidate. This impact will also be lost on people who don't think programs like helping working class Americans and the education of all children are important.
