Please. He could be a great leader. But right now he has less experience than BO had when he ran. Let’s see how he performs before nominating him for anything else.

I'm with you about not running him for anything else before he's developed some track record in DC, but to correct the experience part of your post...NO, he's vastly more experienced than Obama when he ran for president. He has something like 20 years experience in the National Guard with, I believe, the rank of Lt Col. One must actually run and lead something to achieve that rank, even in the National Guard. Obama hadn't so much as run a lemonade stand prior to being elected to the IL senate, and he won that because his opponent's name was removed from the ballot if memory serves.

Yes, I didn’t make myself clear. About the experience, what I was talking about is that he has just been elected to the Senate, just stepped onto the national stage, and we need to see how he votes and handles himself before running the poor guy for President. Hear you about the National Guard.
