38. Washington and Jefferson had no prior experience in running Executive Branch
and they did rather well, I think.

As to political experience, let's look at Hillary's. She voted for the war in Iraq and has remained unrepentant about it, never once understanding that our invasion of Iraq was a violation of international laws and the UN Charter. During the nearly 4 years of carnage, Hillary has yet to say a word about the human tragedy in Iraq, a tragedy for which America bears full responsibility, instead Hillary babbles about Bush's management of the war, as if this was some kind of business takeover.

Hillary practically beat Lieberman in condemning Murtha's call for a troop withdrawal, and she voted against Kerry's troop withdrawal resolution in the Senate.

Hillary also opposed the Kerry/Feingold filibuster of the Alito nomination.

Hillary's best known experience is in triangulation and obfuscation. This is the sort of "experience" that we don't need in a Democratic nominee, much less in the White House.
