Politics 2008:The Caucuses and The Dem/Rep Conventions

[mccoyred]

I saw this on a list serve....

************************************************** ****************

WHAT 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE?


The Facts:

Senator Barack Obama
1996-2004 (Illinois State Senator)
2005-2008 (United States Senator)
12 Years of Elected Office Experience

Senator Hillary Clinton
2001-2008 (United States Senator)
7 Years of Elected Office Experience
(FYI George W. Bush had 6 years in office before the presidency)

Barack Obama is more experienced to be President of the United States.

35 - 7 = 28 years of zero elected office experience for Hillary Clinton.

Again, what 35 years of experience is Hillary talking about?

Here are the remaining 28 years

8 Years (Lawyer)
12 Years (First Lady of Arkansas)
8 Years (First Lady of the U.S.)
28 Years of Zero Elected Office Experience

Since when is 20 years of being a first lady relevant experience for being president?

FINAL ANALYSIS

Senator Barack Obama, Not Only By Virtue Of His Character, Honesty, And Competence, But Also By Virtue Of His Experience, Is Clearly More Qualified To Be President Of The United States.

I was talking to my mom today. She was telling me that she hasn't felt this way about a candidate since JFK. She says it's amazing to see how one person can have an effect on so many diverse groups of people. I'm Obama all the way.

For the undecided people (or even the decided ), take this short quiz to see which candidate your views align with.

Mine was Ron Paul - which didn't surprise me at all.

Be careful taking "opinion" surveys of this type too seriously. Most sites of this type, Votechoose in this case, don't explain to the quiz-taker the "weight" they've given to the choices you make. So you really have little idea of the "bias" they've assigned your choices.

Thank you for that, HoneyKiss. I was going to vote for Edwards but now that he is out, I've been really undecided. The vote chooser helped me, even if I'm voting for someone I don't necessarily love.
