128. Excuse me, but HilBilly tried to make the campaign about who had

the most "experience" (and, by extension, who did not have enough). So if 'experience' is all it's cracked up to be, how did we wind up in Iraq-nam???? Obama's counter to the "experience" claim of HilBilly is that judgment is as important or more important than credits on a resume.

If you bothered to read Obama's speech against the war before the invasion (when it was a very risky stance to take and potentially politically suicidal), you would see that Obama's words seem almost prophetic in light of what has passed since March 2003. I'm at work and cant' find the link to the speech. But Obama's pre-March 2003 antiwar speech demonstrates that he possesses sound judgment.

On edit: In my opinion, sound judgment is way more important than 'experience'.
