Given the mistake we made the current president and his lack of any experience, I feel like some experience is necessary...and I'm not sure how Illinois' legislative sessions are done, but I think 8 years just isn't enough...sure maybe he has some domestic policy experience, but I just don't know if his 3 or so years in the senate makes up for it.
But perhaps he has other qualities which will, and should likely, make him infinitely better than the dope in chief
President Bush spent six years as Governor of Texas- and was re-elected with 69% of the vote.
If I recall correctly, and I also remember the point being made during the 2000 campaign, that as governors go, the Governor of Texas does very little and has far fewer responsibilities compared to other governors.
correct. the only power the governor of texas really has is choosing his secretary of state and even then the nominee has to get the approval of the legislature.
