That didn't stop the Dems from nominating Carter and Clinton. And I
imagine there are numerous other examples of candidates having no REAL

the Dems is the public poll ratings of the out front candidate, IMMHO.

Both were governors, not freshmen senators.


And that somehow makes the two of them more qualified, in what manner?

Certainly a disappointing question.

The last elected president that came out of the U.S. Congress or Senate
was Nixon and he was VP under Eisenhower. So he had experience in the
executive branch.

Governors have experience in executive government.

Certainly a disappointing question.
