17 cities as well. McCain really expects us to believe someone with one and a half years of being governor in a distant, atypical, tiny US state, which is not connected to most of the issues the country at large faces can be a credible commander-in-chief?

4. That is not the same thing as governing

Its a moot point anyway. Look at the line up of Presidents since FDR. Harry Truman was an Senator. Ike never governed anyone, he did command a lot of folks thought. JFK was a rep and a senator. LBJ was a senator, Nixon was was a rep and senator. Ford was rep. Carter was Governor of Georga, Reagan was governor of California. Bush was a government Buearucrat, Clinton was Governor of Arkansas. Bush II was Governor of Texas. Some good presidents have come from the legislature, some for governorships. What really counts is the individual.

5. Executive experience counts for approximately shit.

Bush II has proven that. Carter did as well, to be honest.
