Larry David, history major ...

... provides some perspection on the question of Obama's so-called lack of experience:

"I'm not sure if I'll vote for Obama," a student said. "I'm concerned about his lack of experience." "Would it help," said Larry, "if I told you that Lincoln only had two years of experience in Congress before he became president and the times could not have been more turbulent."

Huckabee wants to change a fundamental definition of who is American

Namely, if you're born here, you are a citizen. Not if Huckabee gets his way. Then your pedigree would count as well. This would never pass, but tells you something about the guy, doesn't it? And this is sure to be a voter getter among the Republican faithful.

Mike Huckabee wants to amend the Constitution to prevent children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens from automatically becoming American citizens, according to his top immigration surrogate — a radical step no other major presidential candidate has embraced.

Hillary Clinton reminds me of Bob Dole

Dole was the last candidate I can recall that felt entitled to his party's nomination. Frankly, Clinton should have run 4 years ago, but she maybe she didn't want to go up against an incumbent. Now she's left lecturing the electorate: "I have the experience," "don't have hope,", the kind of arguments that were leveled against Bill 16 years ago. Didn't work then either. However, I do understand she is frustrated that she put up with so much shit over the years and now is never going to be president. Just like Dole.
