You might try shilling for Buddy Roemer — he’s the only guy left in the race with executive experience other than Romney.
I’m guessing you are crediting Newt Gingrich for being the “leader” of the house. But the Speaker of the house is not an executive leadership position. He doesn’t have a cabinet, he doesn’t have implementation organizations, he certainly has no experience running a government organization. Sure, it’s better than nothing, but only barely.
And Santorum had “leadership” positions, just smaller. Of course, you might as well say that I have leadership experience, because I was a senior patrol leader once, and also once was the president of a student religious organization.
There is simply no comparison between being the leader of a legislative branch, and being the executive of a city, state, or country. A mayor has more executive responsibilities than the speaker of the house does.
I gave up worrying about executive experience when Perry was gone.
“I gave up worrying about executive experience when Perry was gone.”
Actually, that’s exactly when I gave up shilling for anyone. The best is gone. The rest can’t shine his boots. The only thing that matters now is local...and judges and Congress.
I’m not “crediting” Gingrich with anything. “Senior Patrol Leader” counts. :)
