3. Did you see Mike Huckabee?? He is in the LEAD in Iowa in

less than two months, ahead of every other republican. He is beating Romney two to one.

The most dramatic result to come out of the poll, which is based on telephone interviews with 1,408 registered Iowa voters on Dec. 5 and 6, is Huckabee's emergence from the shadows of the GOP race into the front runner's spot in just two months. The ordained Southern Baptist minister now leads Romney by a two-to-one margin, 39 percent to 17 percent, among likely GOP caucus-goers. In the last NEWSWEEK survey, conducted Sept. 26-27, Huckabee polled a mere 6 percent to Romney's 25 percent, which then led the field.

I've said this before, we REALLY NEED to watch Huckabee. He is dangerous!

5. Obama should want Huckabee

He'll be immune against the "experience" jibberish the other side throws at him. Hell, he has more foreign policy experience than the Huckster. He also matches Huckabee on this amorphous "likability" concept, which seems to be so important to the MSM/Georgetown cocktail party types.

6. I believe Obama has more foreign exp...

than any of the repug candidates...save with possible exceptions to McCain and maybe Thompson....but among the Repug front runners he blows them all away.

8. Obama is the least experienced major candidate in American history

Regardless of who he runs against that inconvenient truth will be pointed out. This is one of many reasons why he is the least electable of the major candidates...

9. Tell Me You're Drunk Or Something... Please?

Abe Lincoln had less. Eisenhower had less political experience. Truman probably had less.

Looking at this list makes me wonder if perhaps political inexperience is a strong *positive*.

Certainly, political experience didn't help Clinton, Edwards, Biden, and Dodd, when they voted to attack Iraq. And that was the most important vote in decades, and a simple one to make the correct decision on.

[Progress And Change]

10. you had to go half a century for even one example?

That alone speaks volumes...Truman had a decade of experience is a U.S. senator and then was VP. Eisenhower was Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. Lincoln? Now you are going back 147 years. Obama=Lincoln? :rofl:

Yes, inexperience has worked out fine with George Bush, right?

[MannyGoldstein]

12. Carter...

Get a grip. Obama's experience is certainly in the ballpark. Without the love of war and acceptance of torture.

[Progress And Change]

14. carter was the chief executive of a state

15. So What?

Look, whatever I offer up will be dismissed by you as *different*. I'll not engage in TEGWAR.

Good night.

[Progress And Change]

16. the fact is obama is the least experienced major candidate in modern times

and this will be a massive liability if he is our nominee.

[Colobo]

11. Hillary supporters, what do you think?

[MannyGoldstein]

17. They've Been Layin' Kinda' Low Lately

The combination of creeping uninevitability, HRC's excoriating Obama-as-a-five-year-old (WTF?), her magnificent extended lack of an answer on licenses for illegal aliens, Iran's lake of nuke's after Clinton voted for Kyl-Lieberman, and so forth have put the Hillarites in a blue mood.
